My new weight diary!!!!

As I understand it, fruit should be consumed in the morning/early afternoon as that's when the body most readily deals with it. For my post dinner snack, I have a slice of wheat bread and a serving of natural peanut butter on it. Good carb-protein combination - satisfying with the natural fats in the PB too.

Cottage cheese seems to be a love it or hate it thing (kind of like sushi) - but it IS a protein superfood. I have a serving of it along with a handful of almonds as a between lunch and dinner snack.

Good luck with the eating schedule & school!

I love it, but it's a like it or hate it food like Stingo said. I eat it plain or mix fruit in with it, mainly pineapple. Just try it and see what you think. I really can't tell you what it tastes like. It has a taste of its own.

Good job at the gym - but you might want to take a look at your food plan. I'd suggest adding more protein to your diet - as it looks now you're taking in a lot of carbs (cereal, rice, juice, and whatever you used to wrap the chicken in) but hardly any protein. Chicken breast, very lean red meat, fish, beans, milk, eggs, cottage cheese etc. are all some examples of protein sources. Also, there's very little real fruits or vegetables in your plan as well - something else you might want to address. (You can use fitday.com to track the nutrition breakdown of your meals.)

If you're looking to "tone" what you're really doing is building muscle and taking off the fat so that muscle can be seen. The protein will help build the muscle and get you to your goal quicker.
 
hey girl, I suggest packing one protein bar or two in your bag. For when you don't have time for Lunch or snack, take a bite of or eat the bar. And you need the protein anyways ;)
Protein bar that I dig right now is Pure Protein (Blueberry Pie flav).

Workout Lookin good! :)

I'll second that, with the proviso that you make your own. IMHO, most protein bars are glorified candy bars and should be treated as such.
 
There is an old thread somewhere with loads of recipes for making your own protein bars - I can't seem to find it atm but, if I do come across it, I'll post it here. The easiest one comprised of natural peanut butter, rolled oats, why powder and honey I think. If I can make them, anyone can! :D

Oh, and welcome surf_chick, well done on adding all those meals to your diet and good luck with everything :)
 
i need recipes too im eating too much of the same foods day after day and it does get harder to stick to something once you get bored. Although i baught protein bars, i realized how quickly you can eat one and hardly feel the difference, so i was worried about eating too many of them and suddenly being 400cals over.
good luck!
