Hi hrdgain I do keep a journal. My dietician asked me to record what I eat. She also told me to as much as possible lose the weight/ fat through exercise and avoid sacrificing food. She doesn’t want me to go below 100 pounds. I’m not really consistent with how much and what I eat. I just try not to consume a lot of calories as much as I can. There are times when I feel I eat too much though. Sometimes, I eat chocolates and candies (I love sweets!). But when I do, I try to limit the amount.
Anyway, here is what I ate last Sept.20. It’s the first time I tried eating 5 meals a day:
7:30 am
-2 egg whites with a little catsup
-Oatmeal with sugar substitute and a tsp. of powdered milk

10:00 am
-An apple

2:00 pm
-1 slice of toasted whole wheat bread w/ sugar free strawberry jam
-tofu with teriyaki sauce

5:00 pm
-1 slice of whole wheat bread
-4 egg whites with little catsup
-1 fortune cookie

7:30pm
Fried fish with sweet and sour sauce
4 spring rolls

There are times when I can’t eat 5-6 small meals like today. I was out the entire day so I was only able to eat 2 med sized meals and a big one for dinner.

This is what I had today:

10:40 am
-Chicken bbq with peanut sauce

2:00 pm
-2 slices of whole wheat bread
-chicken ham
-turkey breast
-pastrami
-low fat cheese
-fat free thousand island dressing
-salad: lettuce with honey mustard dressing

6:50 pm
-1 baked scallop
-4 pcs squid rings with garlic
- fried chicken (1/2 of the leg part)
-about 2 tbsp. of sisig. It’s a Filipino dish made of parts of a pig’s head and pork cracklings. It doesn’t sound so yummy but it’s actually pretty good.
-a bowl of frosties cereal

Anyway, based on what I gave you, do you think I’m eating too much? SHould I change something?

I gave my stats in my first post. But I’ll just repost it for you.

Age: 21
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 105 lbs
Waist (narrowest part): 26”
Waist (navel area): 28”
I don’t know my body fat %. I’ve tried the different body fat % calculators available in the internet but I get different results. I only used the ones which only need tape measurements. I really don’t know which one to follow.
Goal: A toned body. Like what I said, Jessica Alba-ish (She’s hot!). I’m not exactly huge but my tummy area doesn’t look nice. There’s no shape and I can still see that it’s filled with fat--so far from a bikini body. I can’t still wear my old clothes. I used to have a 24-inch waistline, small arms and skinny legs. I had a flat ass though. Haha! But I didn’t exactly get it through healthy means. :( Right now, I want that waistline, nicer arms, legs and butt and I want to get those through a much healthier way. I really want to stay fit and stop the yo-yo effect and also, not be anorexic!
