***I am not losing weight with this menu though, any ideas on how to improve???
I see you have a lot of carbs in today's daily plan. How do you track your foods? Do you use FitDay or CalorieKing or anything like that?
I like to keep my %'s around 30/50/20 (30 good fat/50 carbs/20 protein).
If I may make a suggestion. More fruits and veggies!!! There you have 4 servings of fruits/veggies, so that works, but veggies and fruits low in the GI are really good for you! Also, with my fruits and veggies, I get the fruits in early, the veggies in later. You also might consider stretching your breakfast in to breakfast and a snack (mid morning snack), like have the cereal, then have the cottage cheese around 9 or 10am, then move to lunch.
These kinds of things work for me, but might not work for you. Have you been losing weight for a while? If so, could this be a plateau? If so, you might have to throw a "wrench" in to things, get your metabolism kicking again. If you do a little research online, they have many, many suggestions on how to overcome a plateau. But it also means that you are getting the 60-90 mins of exercise everyday. If not, you might have to step it up
Good luck!
