I do eat MORE OFTEN, but in all I eat less than I usually do. I used to get up in the morning, not eat, then by the time I got home from school, stuff my face with EVERYTHING I found. Now, I eat 3 meals a day and 3 snacks, and I hardly EVER get hungry anymore. I don’t eat fast food, and I dont’ eat microwavable food, the ONLY thing I eat that comes in a box that you can mircrowave is occasionally on a saturday I’ll have a lean cuisine chicken alfredo meal.

I’ve been eating more like this lately.... Lets just say 3 days out of the week:

day 1breakfast: some cheerios with milk, with some bannas, strawberries, sometimes raisons or blueberries if I have them, and a glass of water

day 2 breakfast: almond butter on whole grain bread, glass of water, some fruit ifi want it

day 3 breakfast: creamy garbanzo bean hommus spread on whole grain crackers, a glass of water, and a plum or something if i want it

snacks: pineapple, plums, grapes, oranges, occasionally those chewy 99 calorie bars. also spinach salads, with pine nuts, sometimes sunflower seeds (all unsalted), tomatos, whole grain crutons, and lemon juice instead of salad dressing.



And when I go to subway (rare, thats pretty much what I concider FAST FOOD these days, anyway) I get turkey on whole grain bread, with spinach, banana peppers, cheese, and mustard.



Then Dinner: Whatever mom makes, usually fish, chicken, beef, or pork, with some sort of fruit or vegetable. (Last night we had cabbage rolls: cabbage, pork/beef and some rice(Should I switch to brown rice?I have it, we just hardly ever eat rice) in tomato sause yum)



Am I doing okay? Is there anything I’ve "fooled" myself into thinking is healthy here that needs to go? I FEEL better, and I'm obviously losing weight, but I'm still new to this healthy-eating thing.

Things I don’t eat:
Fast food
soda pop
caffinated drinks
coffee
energy drinks
white bread
sweets, candies, chocolates
sugary cereals
chips (I eat quaker rice snacks and veggie sticks instead, which is also rare that I eat those)


thanks so much.
