Alright well I know my meals are not gona be that good, but before you critique to hard... Im in the military, where I have no oven, no stove, pretty much just a microwave and a sink. no grocery store close, just a once a week shopping kind of thing. Oh yeah Im in Japan so it's also limited, but still pretty good selection. but here is how things have been goin for a while.
I dont mind manotony.
breakfast - 2 packets of instant oatmeal. and some total cereal thrown in, cranberry juice, and a multi vitamin
9 am - Orange or some fruit, almonds and mixed dried berries
lunch - meal replacement shake, yogurt, 2 slices cheese
afternoon - nother piece of fruit, more nuts and berries, mabye a piece of wheat bread with a slice of cheese.
dinner - chicken or turkey or ham sandwich on wheat bread
after dinner meal - spinach, pepper, brocoli some fat free dressing
and then drink water through out the day.
hows it look? what do I need to add and take out?
Im trying to slim down right now, I dont know the grams of fat and carbs and all that like some of you crazies.
Thanks for the input.

I eat a lot of calcium or so I think... I was kinda doin that off of this
"Researchers at Harvard medical school and elsewhere showed that those who ate three servings of dairy a day, which in conjunction with other foods provides about 1,200 milligrams (mg) of calcium, were 60 percent less likely to be overweight. Go bovine and you'll also have less risk of developing insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes and heart disease.
Dairy calcium, like strength training, helps you churn more calories through inefficiency. You burn more calories digesting calcium-rich foods than you would if you ate something with equal calories but no calcium. The effect is huge. "You're shifting energy away from your fat tissue and toward skeletal muscle for beneficial purposes," says Michael Zemel, Ph.D., director of the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee and author of The Calcium Key.
"If you take away only 500 calories a day, the addition of the dairy can approximately double the rate of weight loss," he says. In practical terms, this means losing 2 pounds of fat a week for the price of one. (Calcium supplements can also help, but they have less than half the power of dairy, Zemel says.)"
