This is a continuation of How to Lose Weight and Keep it Off.

What do I eat in a typical day? Here’s a food diary from last Monday:

Meal Item Cal
Breakfast Egg 75
Breakfast Banana 105
Breakfast Small Salad w/ dressing 300
Snack walnuts, handfull 180
Lunch Sausage/Cheese Sandwich 670
Snack
Dinner Oatmeal 2pc 320
Dinner Brussels Sprouts 45

Total Est Calories: 1695

Note, there’s no coke or other worthless drinks in a day. I do try to have 2 cups of milk most days – there have been medical studies that show calcium aids with weight loss. I don’t know, but I do know that nuts and milk are filling for me. Some kind of protein is also helpful to me first thing in the morning. Again, I don’t know why, just that it is.

Sometimes I need a Cheat Food Day.
