You might also add another meal between 9 am and 1 pm -- that's a long time to go with not much food and then hit it every 2 hours after that. You are already going 14 hours since your last meal at 7:30 the night before. Carbs in the morning like oatmeal (1/2 c uncooked -- I just measure it out, mix in enough water to cover the oats and then nuke for 2 minutes) are great, but you need can best burn your carbs earlier in the day and you need enough energy to get your body moving and then keep it going.
I always recommend real food first, but if your work schedule or anything limits you, you might add a low carb good quality protein mix in around 11:30 am.
Getting used to the idea that you have to eat to lose bodyfat is hard -- dont' be afraid of eating. If you consider it "fuel" instead of stuff to eat this helps. Then you have to put in the right kind of fuel and enough at the right times to keep your body running at its best and meeting the energy requirements you are putting on it with training. If you try to limit your food intake because of calorie count, your body will 1) probably not get all the nutrients it needs and 2) may think its not going to get enough food, as if you were living during a famine, and slow down metabolism to preserve the body fat it has. This is completely opposite of what you want it to do -- burn body fat at the best rate it can.
Sounds like you are off to a good start and getting good info here!

Since we are talking about training as well...my back for the last 3 work out is very sore...uyyy hurts a little, but is a good pain.
I guess I am doing a good work with it..
My only concern are my legs...when I workout my legs I just feel them (muscles) a bit thight...just for few minutes after the workout, but never sore. I think I am not working my legs the right way.
Tomorrow the trainer said she will assist me..
lets see what happens.. I just wnat to do the right things..not waste my time.

I do cardio early in am 6:30am. I do not get a chance to eat until 9:30am..that is when I get my breakfast(oats).
My weight I do at noon.
when I do cardio it depends on how I feel. some days I keep my HR between 130-150, other days I keep it between 150-180
among those lines....

"chin up" as Phem has said
I’m not sure how long you’ve been with this exercise and clean diet program…..but…..one piece of advice I can offer you from experience, is that your body will adjust eventually.
About 4 days into my clean diet I had a mini-meltdown……but I just grit my teeth and rode through it and I came out the other side with resolve and a steel commitment to achieve my goals.
5 weeks later I can honestly say that I have only had ONE cheat day and my body has already transformed in ways I never thought possible. My clean diet is now a habit, not a struggle.
Stick with it girl!!!! Lean on the ladies here when you need to, they have been very generous to me!
