OK meal plan for today?

Trying to keep cals low (1200-1400) and I have had 1200 today and am not really hungry so don't want to eat much more and risk eating too much lol.  I just think I should be eating more fruit and veg but I haven't really had any junk today so perhaps it can't be that bad?

Breakfast: 1 cup Kashi Golean cereal with 1 cup soy milk, lite lemon yoghurt

Lunch: 1/2 cup broccoli, 2 turkey skewers (bbqd turkey, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion), 1/2 shish kebab stick each so fairly small amount of fruit/veg maybe 1/2 cup?)

Snack: Black coffee, 100 cal cheese cracker snack pack

Dinner: 1 home made chicken enchilada in corn tortilla, 1/3 cup rice with beans, small green salad

Snack: 2 small slices deli rye bread toast, 25 cal diet hot chocolate

Would you guys add more fruits/veggies, and if so what should I take out? Perhaps the rye bread but I tend to want carbs in the evening so have oatmeal, whole grain bread, or popcorn to keep me from wanting more food.

that doesn't sound filling at all.

try doubling up on your veggies at lunch time. and maybe throwing in a handful nuts or something. perhaps add a fruit at breakfast time too.

Ok just took a quick peek at your profile. Your not super young so you don't need an abundance of cals but I'll tell ya now eating under 1200 a day is a good way to lose weight fast (for a month) and then stay stagnant. We're about the same age... I should know :). I dont know how tall or active you are but you look like you're about 5' 1"-2" tall and relatively active. That being said I would say try more like 500 under your burn meter (guessing with age, height, weight, about 1350-1400). I would say if you are scared of upping it do it with nutritious things. I can buy bags of "broccoli slaw" (minced veggies) and I put zero calorie walden farms on it. It's about 5 cups of veggies and only 100 cals. Yummy too :). I also would add a little more protein if possible. Perhaps an egg or two in the morning?? :)

Hope that helps

Well I'm 5' nothing so short, but I have a fair amount of muscle.  I'm not working out for the next 2 weeks as I'm visiting with my parents, but when I'm at home I try to get to the gym 3 times a week (would like to do 5 but doesn't seem to happen while working, does it?) so I'll be eating more then.  Then there's the problem of going to work while the stay at home husband cooks non-diet-friendly evening meals and gets grumpy if I don't eat much! LOL.

Mmm eggs are good - had scrambled egg on toast yesterday for breakfast :D  Think the protein is OK as I've logged over 50g not including the stuff that I didn't know the protein content for and just put cal amounts (turkey skewers est at 125 cals each, but I didn't really put the ingredients in the calculator thingie)

Actually I've been pretty full all day, probably because I'm getting plenty of sleep and not being stressed out with work at the moment. If only vacation could last forever, huh?  Need to figure out ways of bringing the good stuff back home with me, eg going to bed early while still making it to the gym each evening.

Thought about having a tangerine or apple as a snack instead of the rye bread this evening but it just didn't appeal to me. Think I will have oatmeal with fruit in tomorrow though.  And good idea on the broccoli slaw-- my mom makes a wonderful "slaw" with cabbage, broccoli, carrot manderin oranges, and kraft lite zesty italian dressing (sure there are other veg in it but can't remember right now)-- will have to put in a request lol.

Umm cheese cracker snack is not junk food? That would be a good place to start if you want more fruits in your diet. Another one could be instead of night snack of bread have a fruit there, and move the bread to morning for breakfast as a toast with something.

I'd eat more towards the 1400 calorie end of the spectrum, or even 1300 and use that 150 calories to pile on the veggies!  1/2 cup at lunch?  Go for at least a cup, and then add another cup as a snack later on.  I'd lose the snack pack in exchange for some bell pepper slices and hummus. 

I'd rearrange things slightly.

Breakfast - add 1/2 banana or some berries to the Kashi and soy milk.  Save the yogurt for later.

Lunch - increase the broccoli to 1 whole cup, or choose a second vegetable.  Leave the rest as is.

Snack - lite lemon yogurt and a fruit (lose the 100 cal pack - expensive junk)

Supper - increase the salad, but be careful of the dressing

Snack - nothing wrong with whole grain toast in the evening - we need whole grains and carbs are good for you.  If you need to increase calories, have that chocolate made with 8 oz of milk.
