My eating plan consisted of 5-6 meals per day. I focused on low-fat, high protein foods such as egg whites, chicken, and fish. My carbs were all complex carbs including whole wheat bread, oatmeal, barley, brown rice, & whole grain cereals. I ate a lot of green veggies and made my own low-calorie dressing from light miracle whip. I found healthy foods that I like and I stuck to it. Breakfast: carb and protein. Midmorning: protein snack. Lunch: carb, protein, and veggie. Midafternoon: protein snack. Dinner: veggie & protein. In the end I started adding in a protein snack before bed too. I ate roughly 1050-1250 calories and I truly did not feel hungry very often because I was eating so much volume.

I'll +1 to others about "getting it done while you're young." -Which I would have probably scoffed at, in my 20's. But totally true, my metabolism markedly changed at 30 (I didn't have children until 31) -so GOOD FOR YOU and way to knock it out of the park!
