pink_sugar Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I would suggest having a slightly different meal plan each day as you will be more likely to stick to something you won't get tired of. Would that BLT lunch be a sandwich? That would be a good idea. For dinner, consider a meat dish with some greens or pasta with some greens. Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperxcutx Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 A healthy meal is composed of protein, fat and carbohysdrate. A typical healthy meal could be 3-4 oz of grilled chicken ( seasoned with herbs) with half cup of brown rice, and cup of broccoli. Unless you're a body builder or fitness model, you shouldn't be cutting any macronutrients out. My other favorite meal is 3-4 oz tilapia with quarter cup quinoa and cup of veggies ( preferably bokchoy, or half cup of brussel sprouts). I like my meals to be particularly high in protein but i like to eat 5-6 meals a day especially if I'm working out so I eat 250-300 calories per meal with 2-3 hours spaced out.

HokeyReligions Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Breakfast: Eggs, Toast, OJ Snack: Banana Lunch: Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Snack: Spoonful of Peanut Butter Dinner: Haven't figured that one out yet Dessert: Yogurt Please leave honest criticism and suggestions. I've also joined a gym recently, so that should help as well. Eggbeaters instead of eggs. Whole wheat or multigrain toast. Low sugar juice. Apple instead of banana. Fish chicken or pork. Red meat only a few times a month. Fresh veggies steamed. Brown rice over white. Snacks like trail mix or dried fruit. Skim milk with cereal like cheerios (cheerios dry instead of popcorn for movie watching) Yogurt I'd good. Sugarfree jello. Try Nutella wheb you get tired of peanut butter. Keep an eye on your sodium. Water including flavored water and stay away from too many sodas. Fresh fruit and vegetable salads. Light cottage cheese Well that pretty much describes my grocery list!

Feelin Frisky Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Planning is the absolute key to reducing weight and keeping it off. But you must plan way more than just one day. Always plan at least three days meals. And that will mean that you'll often be cooking food you won't be eating that day. People who have weight problems, like myself, must develop a relationship with food that is pretty-much devoid of romance and pleasure. I know, a lot of people will disagree and say you should enjoy your food or go on Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig where you get to have a desert. But people are all unique and some of us can only succeed when food is purely a matter of routine support. The minute I or someone like me starts cycling through what they feel like having, it's as if a junkie is thinking if the good stuff is out on the street and how much money they have. Or a gambler "feeling lucky". Some can't have it both ways. And the ones who have to be strict can adjust to the blandness of eating three day old chicken meat with no skin and some raw broccoli. The payoff is in fitting into that suit or w/e that flatters you and you get a tan and go out and feel like a million bucks and know it. Someone can still put you down but do and inventory and you'll usually come out knowing that you're as good as it gets (looks wise in routine setiings). Link to post Share on other sites
FitChick Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Turkey burgers! Just made Middle Eastern Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce from Gwyneth Paltrow's It's All Good cookbook. That book has so many easy and delicious recipes. Thanks to her I don't eat oatmeal for breakfast but either mix it with cooked quinoa or all quinoa for the extra protein.

thefooloftheyear Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) You will never lose weight on the diet you proposed or many of the others...You are a 21 year old man-not a 65 year old woman... You are going to need a lot more food...You need to build some muscle base. Get to a gym..I am going to take a wild ass guess and say you are probably going to want to settle around 185 or so..Maybe more, I have no idea of your bodytype or bone structure.. Id be around 2200 calories/day to get started. Lean meats, skim milk, oatmeal and brown rice..eliminate simple carbs as much as possible.. Exercise is your friend...Im old enough to be your father...I maintain my 200# body on 5000 calories a day, but I have alot of muscle and am very active..Dont eat like a bird...You wont go anywhere with that.

tman666 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Building muscle will help you burn more calories at rest. Increasing your protein intake will help with this. Protein also has a higher thermic effect of food (TEF) than the other macronutrients, which basically means that your body has to work harder to break it down and utilize it. Get in the gym and lift some weights. As TFY suggested, cutting out simple carbs is a good idea as well. Try to get most of your carb intake from "slower" sources such as whole grain rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes, squash, and other vegetables. Select lean cuts of meat, and add fat to your diet from olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, and some nuts. TFY also brings up an important point about not going too low on calories. If you cut your calories too low for too long, you could cause damage to your metabolism and thyroid function. In addition, you'll feel and look terrible, and you'll be unable to perform well in the gym or whatever other form of exercise you choose. You'll also be more likely to "fall off the wagon" with your diet. I'd recommend that you don't think in terms of "diet", as it suggests some sort of short term arrangement. Think more in terms of lifestyle changes to your activity levels and eating patterns (long term). 2 Link to post Share on other sites
