looking for some advice/help

Hi everyone

I am new and this forum seems to be very helpful and not biased to waste money on useless things. I am 6'1 and have stayed at 200 pounds (and a lil chubby) for a long time. I was active by playing basketball during spring and summer and football during winter with my friends. Then I had surgery about 2 years back and since then I have basically stopped playing sports except for basketball (but definitely not as much as I used to). So I have slowly been gaining weight and lost a lil muscle. Now I want to lose some weight since my stomach has expanded and i feel like it's filled with hot air and I'll lift off into the air. Now I am looking to see what I should be eating and what I should stay away from.

Well the most important thing you can do is to cut your caloric intake to match your weight loss goals. The quality of what you eat will definitely have an impact, but not as much as the quantity (caloriewise).

For starters we can help you figure out how much you should be eating a day for your to achieve your weight loss goals, and then you would need to count your calories to get close to your daily average intake target. Then we can take it a step further and show you roughly how much protein/carbs/fat you should be consuming as well.

Re: looking for some advice/help

Well I used to never eat breakfast and just eat lunch and dinner and once in a while a 2nd later dinner if I was out late. Also I sometimes would have snacks (depending on the mood I would eat cookies, yogurt, apples, oranges, and random other things but I would try to stay away from chips of any kind). This week I trying to get into the habit of eating breakfast even though it isn't healthy since it is eggs, bacon, cheese, butter, ketchup, and salt (I just copied what the guy at work ordered and called it the heart stopper ever since lol). I would miss lunch since I don't really have any place to eat properly since it is all unhealthy (I work at school). Then I get home and eat dinner which could be anything from tomato soup to chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes and pickles or any other type of things. Since the beginning of the week I will try to stay away from fast food places like taco bell, wendy's, etc. What I am looking for is what to eat for breakfast and dinner (any recommended meals to make would be great )

Well, staying away from fast food is a fantastic start. Ditching the heart stopper for breakfast is another good start. The snacks on your list are all loaded with sugar, so you may want to look into other snacking alternatives.

As far as things to eat for breakfast, fruit in moderation, egg whites (no butter, cheese, heavy salt or ketchup...)....try pepper, Tabasco sauce, low fat cheese in moderation, etc with eggs whites. Cereal bars (like South Beach diet cereal bars), protein shakes, smoked salmon, slice of low calorie whole wheat toast, and I know there's more I'm forgetting but that's off the top of my head.

As far as dinner goes, again, a protein shake could be used here, lean deli meat sandwiches with mustard, lettuce, tomato, etc on low calorie whole wheat bread, baked/cooked/grilled chicken breast with your favorite healthy seasonings....there's even a 10 calorie/serving BBQ sauce on the market that's pretty good. Baked Fish, whole grain breads in moderation, fruit in moderation, vegetables, tofu (if you're into that), 96% lean ground beef and low fat shredded cheese with hot sauce to make tacos with whole wheat low net carb Mission tortillas, and the list goes on and on, but you get the idea. From seeing your eating list ideally you're going to want to up your protein intake and drop your carbs intake and fat intake as well.
