your calories seem a bit too low hun... you dont want to risk putting your body in starvation mode and loosing muscle.
Id add a bit more protien to meal 1 and 3 (6shrimp doesnt have much protein). in meal 3 I would switch the pasta to either brown rice, sweet potatoes/yams or beans/legumes. even more oatmeal if you wanted!
what sort of fat free dressing is it? many of those are loaded with sodium and added sugars.
I also dont see NEAR enough fats in your diet. 15g is incredibly low. add in at least another tablespoon of EFA's, flax, olive oil, fish oil caps and/or fatty fish, natural peanut butter, nuts/seeds in moderation.
also.. what sort of cardio are you doing? 5 days seems a bit much. are you doing any HIIT (interval style) cardio?

Thank you so much for helping!
How many calories do I need to loose weight (body fat)?
How come whole wheat pasta is bad?
The cardio I do is not HIIT.. it's usually either a spinning class, aerobics (step or kickboxing) or just elliptical or a bike for 30 min.
Thank you!
at your weight, 110lbs, start at multiplying your weight by 12. try at the level for a bit and see how you make out. can be adjusted from there. I also might add that adding one day of a higher carb with more calories will be beneficial in preventing your metabolism from slowing too much and bring hormone levels back to normal levels.
whole wheat pasta is a bit too processed for dieting. an ok choice when tryin to gain and/or maintain. more complex less processed varieties are better.
not bad choices for cardio then. for a change perhaps change a couple of those cardio sessions to interval sessions for 20-25 minutes.![]()

Does that mean that whole wheat bread and fiber one are not OK when dieting either?
FIber one cereal is fine, I wouldnt rely on it soley as my carb source though. and yes wholewheat bread isnt ideal either.

Just thought of another question.. postworkout meal... are bananas allowed then or no babanas at all when dieting? would whole wheat pasta and bread be allowed for a post workou meal?
Exactly what carbs ARE allowed? brown rice, yams, oats.. anything else?
What exactly happends to the body when eating something that's prosessed that doesn't let it loose the fat?
