What do you eat?
Hello,
I feel like I've done nothing but complain over the last few months of not losing. It's been frustrating but for the most part my own doing.
I was wondering if other Marcher's could post what they eat in a normal day? About how many calories are you getting in? How much exercise are you doing?
I appreciate any feedback.

Corgimom, here's a normal day menu.
breakfast - 1 piece of multigrain toast, topped with 2 tbsp low fat peanut butter and one sliced banana (I'm so addicted to this breakfast)
snack - two mozzerella sticks
Lunch - one pack healthy heart microwavable oatmeal
dinner - 3/4 cup of refried beans with cheese
Water and supplements are spread throughout the day.
Hope this helps. If your anything like me, your pretty bored with the food choices. I feel as if I always eat the same thing. Really need to start giving myself more of a variety. I'm getting in between 1000 and 1200 calories. Some day less. Always shoot for at least a 1000. Exercise has been slacking, but I'm getting ready to kick myself in the rear to get motivated again. The weather is getting nicer, and I'm in the mood to walk. Good luck in your journey.

Well let's see...Here's what I am eating today.
B: 20oz sugar free vanilla nonfat latte - 210 calories
S: South Beach Diet southwestern breakfast wrap and drinking my sugar free punch with some unjury added - 160 calories for the wrap and about 80 or so for the drink
L: shrimp ensalada with salsa dressing from baja fresh - about 250 calories
S: probably some fruit - about 100 calories
D: I have physical therapy tonight so probably gonna eat out again..maybe subway..which means another salad. - about 250 calories
S: probably won't do another snack but if I do it will be South Beach diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (i love their cookies) - 100 calories
So that adds up to 1150 calories if I eat the cookies. Fairly high in protein too..this adds up to about 100grams of protein. As far as exercise..I wear a pedometer and try to get over 10,000 steps a day but I did just buy this new sorta like a pedometer but it measures all of your physical activity and you can monitor everything online. I won't get it for a few weeks but that should help with me to keep up on my exercise. This is a pretty average meal for me every day. I seem to still be losing at least a pound a week sometimes 2 or 3 if I've been really good. Hope this helps.
