Post a couple of menus with quantities and we'll take a look. This is a common problem when switching Phases.

The first thing that struck me was that both menus (especially the first) seemed mighty low on veggies. You should be eating a variety of veggies - 4 1/2 cups a day at least.

The first menu in particular just didn't seem like much food, as well. This is not a deprivation diet; make sure you eat enough, especially since you are in your teens - your body is still growing and needs more nutrients than an adult would need.

Also, be sure you get enough water, and make sure you get enough calcium and other nutrients - if you don't drink milk, then make sure you're getting enough from other sources such as cheese, broccoli, etc.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

The vegi thing struck me too. 12/ cup for breakfast and 2 cups for lunch and dinner makes it easy to track of your vegies. Alos does not sound like much food, no deprivation allowed on the beach. Good luck.
