Planning Your Meals

[Angelap]

If we are taking the 1300-calorie everyday to reduce a pound a week, we can distribute it like this:

Breakfast: 300 calories (A large bagel with a tablespoon of cream cheese)

Lunch: 400 calories (Half of a club sandwich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup)

Dinner: 500 calories(Medium pork chop, a cup of mashed potatoes, some
fresh veggies, and a side salad )

Evening Snack: 100 calories ( fresh apple, much on two cups of air-popped popcorn, or treat yourself to a small scoop of ice cream or half a bar of fine dark chocolate)

By planning out your meals in advance, you can ensure that you get a good, balanced diet that is full of the vitamins and nutrients you need, without going over your calorie limits.

Bugger dieting; I'd rather row more (and eat more).

Take your adverts somewhere else.

I think you are in the wrong forum. Losing weight by calorie restriction alone is unhealthy and your body responds by slowing down it's metabolism which leads to weight gain later.

I've actually found that my calorie intake has increased and I'm still losing weight. Once I hit my target I'll be able to eat even more. When you exercise a lot you often have to eat more, elite rowers consume 6,000-8,000 calories per day.

Fad diets come and go but exercise and reasonable eating have never failed.
