[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, congrats!! I’ve been following this thread as I am also trying to lose weight via diet and exercise changes alone. My commitment has been high, progress has been slow, but I’m trending in the right direction and feel motivated every time I see this thread bumped so thank you!

I’d love if you post what a typical food day looks like for you. Here was mine today, it’s nothing inspirational but in the spirit of sharing:

breakfast- siggis nonfat yogurt with half an orange stirred in

midmorning snack- 1 slice dave’s thin sliced bread with 1/4 avocado; half a mango

lunch- salad with lots of veggies, capers, deli turkey, 1 hard boiled egg, 1T pistacios, 1 tsp each evoo and vinegar.

afternoon snack- blueberries, 18 almonds

dinner- 1/2 cup rice with big serving of turkey chili; simple side salad of argula and tomatoes with 1 tsp each evoo and vinegar

“dessert” - think brand mini protein bar

I'm so glad my check-ins have been helpful. I find it motivating to read other people's successes too! Slow but in the right direction is great! We got this! Here is what I typically eat in a day:

6am: Wakeup and drink a glass of water before getting ready for work
7am: Coffee with unsweetened nutpod creamer, 2 tbsp of collagen peptides mixed in
9:30/10am-ish: 3/4 cup of unsweetened 2% Greek yogurt mixed with 1 tbsp of chia seeds (fiber!) and 2 tbsp of collagen peptides, 1 cup of mixed berries, 1/3 cup Elizabeth granola
12ish: Salad usually - usually a green goddess chicken or harvest Cobb salad from Sweetgreen, or a dupe if I am motivated to prep the night before, or leftovers from dinner
2ish: Apple, Roasted Edamame beans
4:30ish: Protein shake (banana, spinach, pineapple, unsweetened why protein, almond milk)
7ish: Grilled chicken or Salmon and vegetable with rice or homemade sourdough bread

Sometimes I'll have air popped popcorn with a little butter OR a yasso greek yogurt bar around 8/9pm if I'm still a little hungry and it fits my macros.

I track using My Fitness Pal. I pay for the premium version (not premium plus) so that I can track my macros easily (protein, fat, carbs (less so), and fiber).

Hope this helps!
