I am trying to lose weight and also eat better. I work a desk job, commute in my car 40 minutes to work and back. So there's a lot of sitting.
For 22 days now. I have tracked my eating, exercise and fluid intake via a little program called Diet & Exercise Assistant. It's a program for those who have Palm PDAs or PocketPC.
It allows me to follow calories, carbs, fats, s.fats, protein and fiber. It has been quite illuminating seeing what I was eating and where I was really deficient.
To add accountability to my efforts, I make a post on my blog each night.
For me, I've found having some cottage cheese, fruit in the morning along with a low sodium V8 is working.
I then have a snack, either a granola bar, fruit, or some veggies and hummus.
For lunch, I could not feel full from Lean Cuisines. So I usually get some sort of pasta dish, or home made stir fry with tofu or chicken. I also try to make lunch one of my bigger meals for the day.
In the afternoon I have another snack. I have Wasa Fiber crackers, because I was having a deficiency in fiber. With some Lite Laughing Cow Cheese.
For dinner, it's a wide range. I've been having soups, salad, turkey burgers, stir fry, salmon, and lots of veggies.
The biggest things I've noticed is my digestion has gotten a lot better. And I no longer have the afternoon slump of almost falling asleep around 2:00-3:00.
Good luck with your efforts at eating healthier.
