- 3 cups coffee, 1 oz. cream per (300 Cal)
- ~10 red raspberries (10 Cal)
- 5 oz. can of tuna (225 Cal)
- 2 oz. cream cheese (200 Cal)
- 1 tomato, 1/3 green pepper, 1/3 cucumber, some onion (70 Cal)
- some vinegar (15 Cal)
- 1 T. olive oil (120 Cal)
- 4 eggs, fried in 1 T. butter (420 Cal)
- small banana (90 Cal)
- 1 Taco Bell crunchy beef taco (170 Cal)

----Total: 1900 Cal
Wow - over 40% (800) of your calories were drunk rather than eaten! I'd drop the cream in your coffee like a heart attack. If you can't drink it black, get your caffine fix from diet coke or something with ZERO calories. If you do this everyday you'll drop 2+ pounds a month without even trying! (300 cal x 30 days = 9,000 or 2.6 pounds!)
And were those whole eggs? Lots of extra fat & cholesterol there - better to do 2 whole and 2-3 whites instead- get the protien without the stuff you don't want. And for goodness sakes, use PAM instead of butter and save yourself 100 calories of PURE FAT.
I am not a fat hater but I really think you can make different choices that will lead to results on the scale and your body. I think you really need to examine your diet if you want to achieve your goal. The people here are ready and able to help!
Good luck and Happy Health!
