My Diet Plan-Help&Suggestions!

Hi, everyone for the rest of the summer i plan to plan out my days and here are some things I might have.

9 AM-Breakfeast: yogurt, nature valley bar, piece of fruit (200)

11 AM-Snack- Serving of crackers and a piece of babybel cheese (110)

1 PM-Lunch-Soup and 2 babybel cheeses or serving of crackers (300)

3 PM-Snack- Fat Free ranch dip and veggies (About 65)

5 PM-Snack- Yogurt, granola bar, piece of fruit (200)

7 PM- Dinner (300)

1,175

Then later I have a dessert.

This varies by day, i don't always have these exact snacks but their always around this amount.

I feel like I'm having too many snacks. But then after dinner i still have over 300 calories left. It's now 3:30 and I'm a little hungry but confused. Should I eat like this? Should i eat fewer amount of snacks of more calories or bigge rlunches and only one snack? HELP! should i not have a mid-morning snack? HELP!

If it were me I would be eating more protein, which would keep you fuller longer.

Hello,

I agree with billsaint.  Definitely add more protein to your diet.  An egg for breakfast will go a long way.  I have lost 18 pounds so far.  For breakfast I definitely get in an egg.  Since I started doing that, I was amazed by how full I felt all morning (no snacking at all).  My daily calorie count is still well below my burn meter so I have been loosing weight.  I exercise too so I know that my loss has been a healthy one.  Good Luck!

Bananc AND BillSaint-

Please don't jduge me. This is a non-judgmental site. I have lost 12 pounds also and I am staying within my calorie count. I think "snacking" on healthy foods is good. Aren't you suppose dto eat 3-6 small meals with small snacks in-between. I'm kind of doing that, small meals and small snacks. I am staying within my calorie limit.

No one is judging you.  When you said "help" at the end of your post, it sounded like you wanted an opinion.  I am only relaying to you what the nutritionist on CC has been writing about and my own personal experience.  This is the article I was referring to:

I will not respond further as it sounds like you don't want help as stated.

Thank you and good luck.

Bananc, I understand you are new but on this site we are not hostile. I didn't need gloating, just advice.

Thank you anyway and good luck.

Good day.

I promise I was not judging you, you asked for help and I gave only my advice in terms or if it were me. But obviously you have to make the choice for yourself.

Thank you, BillSaint. I believe you. Also, do you know if Yoga is a good exercise to pursue?

I have heard alot of good things about yoga but I myself have never tried it I stick with walking and some lifting of weights. If you try it tell me how it goes I would be intersted in hearing about it.
