im new here and already feeling defeated.
I started my food chart this morning of calories im supposed to take in and what I've already taken in this morning. Its breakfast and It seems as if the next 2 meals will be very small. I thought i was eating a healthy breakfast egg omelet, wheat toast and oj. Ive never been a breakfast eater so this is new to me also lol. Any ideas on eating on the right amounts for this?
Thanks
Thanks

You can probably have the same thing for breakfast but in smaller portion sizes - if you want that for breakfast. You can try different ingredients (change the omelette calorie count by adding Egg Beaters to an egg - which is just adding egg whites - and stuffing the omelette with cooked drained vegetables). Or just buy an omelette in the freezer section of the supermarket - those omelettes can be small.
I know I'll think twice before ordering a patty melt at Ihop; I thought it was just a hamburger but it's really almost all my calories for the day!

I was in the same situation when I started. I was way over my calories per day, but began switching small things each day. My breakfast now is low calorie yogurt and a ton of fruit. I started with changing butter on my toast for low calorie healthy substitute. I went for a lowfat cheese for my omelet that saved 50 calories per slice. Now I sometimes actually have trouble not going too far under, but it is a journey of one thing at a time.

My morning food count is usually around 450-550 calories which consists of egg whites(30-60cal), a tablespoon of olive oil (119cal), a fresh veggie, this can be a combo of spinach, mushrooms,red bell pepper, green onions,but it really depends what's in the fridge at the time.
I'll also have a slice or 2 of avocado, fat free sour cream or feta-once again, depends on whats in the fridge and I'll have that on either the thin wheat buns (100cal) or small white corn tortillas ( 2@ 100 cal).
This will sustain me till my mid morning snack which can be fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese or a small (1/2 cup) of oatmeal.
I then try to eat a light lunch

Try having green smoothie for breakfast and avoid eating wheat and dairy products, You are getting the nutrition you need, about 300-400 per smoothie (depending on what you put in your smoothie). Try using the "MyFitnessPal" to keep track on the calories intake...
