[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you eating, OP? If you give us a sample of what you eat during the day (including slip-ups) we might have additional insight for you.[/quote]

8:30 - 2 eggs 2 turkey sausage 
10:30 - mini bagel w cream cheese, mini bag chips 
1  - chicken curry w rice ( from home) and Greek yogurt 
4 - cheese and crackers and an apple 
7:30 - whole wheat spaghetti w ground turkey and fruit
9:30 - cereal like Special K w milk

The morning and afternoon snacks are the danger zones for junk. On bad days I will get a donut or cupcake or muffin. Lunch may also be Subway or Chipotle or chopped.  Dinner could also be fish and vegetables which I try to do especially when I have a less healthy lunch. So it's not horrible but I know I could do better. I could switch out nuts for the bagel. Or cheese. haven't found a raw vegetable I like enough to snack on though. It's also hard to cut down the number of times I eat since I'm legitimately hungry at those times. Since I have been working out this is pretty typical. My trainer suggested a protein shake.

Thanks for the tips. I think the key is keeping healthy snacks around which I am better at but not perfect. [/quote]

This is a lot of food, I would say about 1800 calories for the day. I could not lose weight if I eat more than 1300. 95% of losing weight is eating less. Excercise makes you stronger, but does not burn much calories. For example, you mini bagel and cream cheese are close to 200 cals, and you will have to run 30min to burn that much.

Cut the carbs, they are calorie laden and make you hungry. Replace them with cooked green vegetables, which are very low cal and filling. Raw verges are even better if you like them - I just cannot stand chewing like a bunny to eat 1/2 lb of leaves. Also, fish and lean meat are a lot better than carbs.
