[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do your meals typically look like?  Do you snack in between meals and what do those look like?  It sounds like you're relatively active, so I would take a closer look at your nutrition.

And no, that doesn't mean you should go down to 1200 calories.  What does the fat content look like? How many carbs are you hitting a day?  You may just need to eat the same amount of calories but shift the types of foods you're consuming.[/quote]

OP - I have no idea what my food breakdown is. I have never tracked it before. I just signed up for MyFitnessPal to start tracking.

For example today I have eaten the following:

Coffee
1 container of greek zero sugar yogurt
1/3 cup of granola

Lunch:
Will have a pre-packaged meal from a meal delivery place

Dinner:
Same as lunch

I am trying not to snack - this is probably my downfall. Also I tend to snack on my kids leftovers when they have dinner. Not the best idea. [/quote]

This is not good. Ditch the granola, add in frozen blue berries. Lunch should be a green juice and some carrots and hummus. Then dinner should be 6oz of a lean protein, a green vegetable (kale, broc, bok choy, spinach) and a colorful veg (beets, carrots, red pepper). Maybe a little quinoa on the side. Dinner can also be beans in a red sauce, various stir frys with tofu/lean protein and veg. Just do not overdo the portion size and carbs.[/quote]

Green juice and veggies for lunch? That is not a meal that would satiate anyone.

OP, follow the above advice if you want to tank your metabolism. [/quote]
