Took measurements!

[abxavier]

In the mornings, I usually eat the packets of oatmeal. That's alright, right? And i've been eating at least 4x a week whereas before this site, I was eating maybe 2 or 3 big meals. I completely cut out any candy and any kind of sugar, besides fruit. I don't eat very much fruit. More vegetables. Carrots and peas and green beans, etc. I've been drinking my protein religiously. Dessert is very very good and i'm very happy with it. Along with that, i'm taking fish oil pills and a multivitamin daily.

I've been increasing the cardio as well. 3x a week for 30mins. Still haven't received my lipoflame yet. But I feel like i've thrown out a lot of bad foods now. I don't do fast food anymore (I used to eat it almost daily! It's a surprise i'm not 200+!)

I ate a small bowl of cereal the other day, special K with no additives. Just 2% milk. On average, this is what my diet looks like;

meal one;
Oatmeal and orange juice and/or water

meal two; snack
banana, carrots, a few peanuts for protein and/or green beans and protein drink

meal three;
5oz boneless, skinless, grilled chicken, apple and/or carrots(if I didn't eat them on above meal)

meal four; post workout
1 scoop protein(20g) and a banana

meal five; (after work)
5oz chicken again and applesauce

any corrections would be fantastic.

This needs egg whites, I would drop the oj better option would be half a grapefruit.

meal two; snack
banana, carrots, a few peanuts for protein and/or green beans and protein drink
I am not against peanuts as a snack but it should be on it's own just my 2 cents also make sure they are dry roasted
meal three;
5oz boneless, skinless, grilled chicken, apple and/or carrots(if I didn't eat them on above meal)
I am probably being very picky here as I am used to hardcore dieting but carrots are not the greatest option full of sugar.

meal four; post workout
1 scoop protein(20g) and a banana

meal five; (after work)
5oz chicken again and applesauce
Apple sauce is processed better option is green apple lower sugar content. Add in some green veggies or a salad.
any corrections would be fantastic.

Also need to know the amounts your eating everything should be measured and tracked. I am sure it seems picky cause you have cleaned up you diet a lot but you need to know so you can tweak and make changes down the road when you progess slows down. I highly suggest signing up for FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal it is free and you can log all you food there.

Yes, I take women's OneADay vitamins. When need be, i'll take an otc energy drink. I rarely ever do, though.

I don't even know how many g of protein are in a 5oz boneless, skinless chicken. lol. Horrible. I saw a book the other day at gnc where you keep track of the amounts you eat and whats in it as far as protein, fat and carbs.

Hmph. That part is hard.
