Need advice
So I've been thinking that I am going to give the calorie counting a shot. I'm someone who doesn't do change, but I think I need it! My normal method of just cutting out junk and eating better worked, but isn't working any longer. So I've decided to go about this rationally and start calorie counting. I took the first step and canceled my university meals for next week and am looking to start Sunday counting calories. I wanted to give an example plan and see what opinion anyone might have.
I plan to eat between 1700-1800 calories per day. I've checked online and it was recommended between 1800-2000.
I exercise daily. I usually run for one hour every night between 9-10 pm and alternate strength training every other day.
Meal plan
B- oatmeal w/ honey, cinnamon and apple. between 8-9 am
L- grilled cheese sandwich, veggies 11-12 am
S-yogurt, fruit, greek salad, hardboiled egg 1-6
D- Chicken breast, tortilla (mini) and veggies 6-7
I steam all my frozen vegetables. I work from 1:30-7:30 and find that this is when I am the most apt to eat. I eat the same thing for breakfast every day, but my other meals I wasn't sure what to eat. I lack in carbs that are recommended.
Any and all opinions will be welcome and much needed. Thanks for any help!
