Am I counting right?! STILL not healthy??!!
Okay I started counting calories and so far im doing great for today
heres what i had Breakfast- 10:00 1 cup of kashi cereal- 190 1/2 cup of 2 percent milk- 65 calories ---------------------- 255 calories Snack #1 12:30 1 box of raisins - 130 ------------------- 130 calories total Lunch (using foodnetwork.com) 3:00 1 cup Spinach carrot - 60 calories corn on the cob (no butter)- 58 calories 2 plaintains slices- 50calories ----------------- Im going to round this to about 200 calories Snack 2- 5:30 Kashi Bar- 140 total DInner-8:00 Cucumber Salad- (added cucumber and lettuce together)- 113 Fish (no skin, just meat fillet) - 115 TOTAL- 153 SNACK-= 10:15 (bed time snack thing) Glass of milk- 130 TOTAL ALL TOGETHER- 1008. STILL NOT ENOUGH CALORIES CONSIDERED "HEALTHY" on this board and this whole time i thought i was eating enough food with a good amount of nutrition. Im suppose to have like 500 more calories? Plus im doing 2 hr of exercise today (instead of 6. my attempt to do things healthy) But anyway I think its a huge improvement and I feel really good. I started Turbo Jam and I am doing exercises that create muscle so thanks for all the advice guys none the less :) Im not seeing a nutritionist any time soon so i might as well start making changes by myself. |
Its not a bad menu just needs some tweaking.
What about for dinner add 1/2 or 1 serving whole grain brown rice. That first snack what about adding an apple or some strawberries with that. For lunch what about adding a bit of protein such as chicken or fish. Second snack again why not add some fruit to that or a light yogurt or a thing of 2% string cheese. |

On that cucumber salad are you adding any salad dressing? If so remember to count those calories as well. Also what are you drinking during the day?

noo. i haven't put dressing in my salad in 3 years loll. my family all think im nuts. ranch has sooo many calories, its ridiculous. i drink only water. about 8-12 glasses a day which is probably why im so full |
I always toss 1oz of nuts in there or PB with celery if I need to boost my calories for the day. High in healthy fats so therefore high in caloires.

Your plan is getting better and better! :carrot:
All you need to do is add about 200 more calories to each day. Since you are on the lower end of weights, you won't need to eat 1700-1800 calories a day, like you might if you were heavier and had a lot more to lose. A 1200-1400 calorie range each day would be probably perfect for you. BTW-I don't usually eat dressing on my salad, either-especially if it has any chicken or fish with it, because I just have a bit of meat with each bite. :) |
Have you tried the new salad spritzers?
