How am I doing?

I feel like I've been doing really well this week, but I'm stuck at 137.  I'm making a point to drink more water today, but what do you think of yesterday's summary?

I also did the elliptical trainer for 20 min, lifted weights for about 15 min, and walked the dog for an hour. Any advice would help!

oops, I pasted the wrong day's calories! Here's today's:

You should probably try to eat closer to 20% fat and 30% protein. Maybe switch those two around.

I was just about to say pretty much the same thing. :)

I agree with what hkellick said.  Go for more protein and less fat.  Good luck!!!

thanks guys, i'll see what i can do! :)

try for a bit more fiber too - recommended is 20-35g a day.  Try a big bowl of leafy greens...that's an easy boost for hardly any calories :-)

Yay for healthy eating!

yeah, I didn't have any salad yesterday, so that would've helped.  I'm thinking a homemade chicken caesar salad tonight (cajun chicken, light creamy caesar...mmmm....now i'm getting hungry!!)

Is this better? (probably still too low on protein, but I did my best!)

that's a big improvement!  if you can increase the protein just a little more, that would be good, but 22% is great.

now try to get that fiber up to about 25 gms.  it's hard to do without increasing your carbs, but it CAN be done!

thanks, elin...i'll see what I can do!

any suggestions for foods that have fiber but not many carbs?
