get yourself an account at or one ofthe other countless free food journal sites... it's a big help to record your daily calories to see what you are eating..
You've set one of your goals as eating better - what are you doing to make that something you can measure... effective goals are ones that you can check something off of -to ensure you're doing it -and should be as specific as possible...

Ok...i signed up for that..But could anyone sugguest good things for me to eat..I'm a truck driver who works a 4on and 4off..I usully eat twice a day while i'm working..i start a 12am and i sometimes stop and eat something around 4am(subway/breakfast sub..footlong)then i stop before i get to my stop that day(subway) which is around 11am..I was doing really bad when i got off work tho..pizza's,wings,mexican food,etc..i've done alot better about that part tho...
Subway isn't the worst thing out there for you - it's certainly better than something smothered in melted cheese and deep fried... It can be high in sodium which - if you have any blood pressure issues, you might want to watch... Just stick with turkey, even ham, and load it up with veggies and mustard or vinegar - the subway cheese is really kinda gross so pass on it if you can..
In your truck, can you keep a cooler of bottled water -it'll save you money in the long run and it's way healthier than sodas or other drinks... even diet soda aren't all that great for you - keep some apples or other fruits that you can eat in your hand as well for snacks.. or just keep packets of snacks with you -that you can prepare at home and bring with you- some of my grab and go favorites are 1 ounce packages of almonds, goldfish crackers, whole grain crackers, cube of cheese, hard boiled eggs, celery stuffed w/ goat cheese - lots of different things..
