[quote=Anonymous]I'm post menopausal and in the obese category (over 200 pounds) and am two weeks into solid calorie counting and seeing good results at 1200-1300 calories a day.

Not trying for high protein or low carbs - focusing on not being too restrictive and portion sizes.

Breakfast - large mug of black tea with two sugars.  Half a pack of Bel Vita biscuits (so two, a pack has 4) and a tablespoon of peanut butter - 257 calories

Lunch - salad with protein, or something leftover from a dinner, or a small sandwich from home with deli meat on a thin sliced bread or slider roll. Try to keep this to under 400 cal

Afternoon snack - fruit + some cheese and/or nuts; or baby carrots and a lighter dip; or mug of tea with sugar and milk and a small cookie/graham cracker/shortbread - something tasty but lower in cal; or yogurt - depending on what lunch was and what dinner will be and how hungry I am, trying to keep to between 100-250 cal

dinner - a smaller portion of what my family is eating.  Double up on vegetables- steamed broccoli or whatever plain.  Last night it was a smaller serving of chicken pot pie (not eating all the crust). On taco night it was 1/2 cup rice +  meat, beans, little bit of cheese on the plate, not on a taco.  Small serving of steak + half small baked potato.  Whatever dinner is, just cutting portion sizes by half.  Aiming for <400 cal total.

I usually find room for a taste of ice cream (a spoonful) or 2 hershey kisses or a bite of something.  [/quote]
