Joycough,
Maybe I'm wrong but your calories look more like a maintenance level than a fat loss level.
And i would imagine that most of the breads and crackers and canned soups. processed cheese and pizzas would have to go in order to make your diet more effective, Just my .02

As far as i know these are the #'s for me to lose weight for my weight and waist size.

As for the soup, pizza and crackers bit...I eat in a Caff

... I go to college so I have no real say in the food

. That's why I'm trying go more by #'s than by what I eat. If I keep within the #'s I figure it doesn't really matter what I eat.

If you have any suggestions or better numbers I would appriciate it.

Posted by: joycough

Not a bad day but I should have had a better snack (last snack)
I was under in everything until then. I should have been smarter about it.

Posted by: gwcaton

Joycough,

I'm not learned in this stuff ( i'm more of a sheep and just follow the leader..aka BFFM manual. LOL ) If I were you I would post your diet in the diet forum and ask for help/suggestions.
One thingthat might help is if you had some protein powder you could carry with you and mix up when you are in the cafeteria.

Joycough -

From the looks of it - your diet is

50% carb
25% protein
25% fat

I'd switch the carb and protein around.
50% protein
25% carb
25% fat

It seems Jodi is the resident expert on diets so you may ask for some help from her

Posted by: joycough

Thanks guys I appriciate the input.

yellowmoomba: I've been trying to do more of a:

50% Carbs
35% Protein
15% Fat

I can't always get it exact

... I really wish I could make all my own meals, my diet would be much cleaner then.

Posted by: Jodi

Yeah, you need to change that around. Either 40/40/20 or 50/30/20. 50% carbs and only 35% protein isn't going to get you the results you want.

You MUST cut out the cheese, crackers, soup, pizza etc.

Why don't you try smaller, more frequent meals?

The caff serves only 3 meals a day. I try to have 2-3 more snacks but sometimes I really get bogged down with classes and homework. But I do try...I know I know trying isn't doing...I like to think i'm getting better
