Here's what my average daily diet is. How am I doing??? I'm eating super healthy and balanced, but I'm wondering if I'm just over-doing it in the amount of food I'm eating. Should I cut out a snack or just reduce the amount I'm eating overall? I want to lose about 40lbs by Sept 2011 to prepare for trying to conceive our first baby. I'm not measuring portions or counting calories, which I think could be my downfall on this diet. I also don't have a set timed schedule or scheduled meals. I graze throughout the day in the following order:
"Breakfast" (approx 11am): A fried egg sandwich on whole wheat toast with about 2 tsp of fat-free Miracle Whip and a bunch of fresh spinach leaves.
About two hours later: This when I take my vitamins and supplements, including a prenatal vitamin, calcium/D, E, C, and Holy Basil. About two pint glasses full of "Green Smoothie" which is a mix of any combinations of the following: spinach, brocolli, mustard greens, kale, parsley, cucumber, carrot, apple, banana, orange, pineapple, melon, strawberries. And then 100% no sugar added fruit juice (usually cranberry). And I add flax seeds to it for an extra Omega 3 kick.
On the way to work (approx 5pm): A Fiber One granola/oat bar.
At Work: Another Fiber One granola/oat bar.
Later at work (approx 9pm): a tuperware container of a mix of Brown Rice, cooked ground turkey and spices, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, hot sauce, and cilantro.
Almost when work is over (approx 11pm): an orange.
At home (approx 2am): half a glass of 2% chocolate milk mixed with half a glass of skim white milk and a few slices of cheddar cheese.
I think I'm eating pretty healthy in general, I just worry that I'm eating too much.
Any thoughts or tips??? Thanks!!!
