Weight-Loss Is this a good meal day?

[shawnnam]

I looked up my calories and the calculator said I need about 1400 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week.

For breakfast I had a 2 egg omelet with grilled mushrooms and a lite yogurt- breakfast approx 250 calories.

As a snack about 2 hrs later I had 1/4 cup roasted nuts (unsalted soy, almonds, and pumpkin seeds, & unsweetened cranberries.) 130 calories

For lunch I plan on having an organic whole wheat tortilla with some roasted garlic hummus with romaine lettuce and grilled green bell pepper and grilled mushrooms. A light string cheese and a fruit. I will have to look up the calories but since the wrap is mainly veggies I know I wont meet my calorie threshold if that is all I eat.

Does this sound okay so far? Should I add anything? I plan on having one more snack and then dinner.

First question I'd ask is how are you feeling?

Then I'd say you are doing fairly well I think but I am sure Kara will pop in any moment now to be alot more detailed

Im feeling good, I have been drinking water (which I usually NEVER do). I have class at noon so I am start lunch right now, I will probably need a snack at about 1 or so

Bingo. Water is a big part of it. Other than that the food so far looks tasty! and balanced! What are you planning for dinner? and other snacks?

Are you exercising at all?

 

[shawnnam]

Yeah, im not sure about dinner yet, I will probably stop by wholefoods and get some boneless skinless chicken breasts and bake them and steam some veggies, or Ill get some fish. As my next snack I will probably have an apple with some peanut butter.

I am going to the gym tonight, I have not been exercising recently but I did go on a 45 min walk with my mom last night.

That all sounds pretty good.
