Breakfast
7-9 AM
That is the time when I often eat breakfast.  It can be a large meal such as sausage, eggs, and toast or a meal replacement shake.  This is usually the largest, or small meal of the day.  I start off well, so in that aspect, I have no reason to feel bad about not consuming foods in moderation.

Meat ~ 200
Carbs ~ 450
Vegetables ~ 90
Calories ~ 740

Dinner
4-5:30 PM
This is often on average a smaller meal than lunch, but at smaller meal than lunch.  This is the average calorie intake.  It can also be at times the same calorie intake that I eat at lunchtime.  I tend to not eat a variety of foods.  Lunch is prepared around the afternoon, so I often consume what I prepare for lunch.

Lunch
11 AM- 1:30 PM
This is the largest meal of the day.  Should it be, I am not sure?  Maybe I should consult a nutritionist about this.  All I know is that I don't always consume foods in moderation at that time.  I make every effort to prepare foods at that time even if I make unhealthy choices such as salty processed foods.

Snacks
I tend to consume snacks at various times of the day obviously.  On average, I consume mostly 2-3 snacks a day on average.  The amount of snacks should be no more than 100-200 calories per snack time. Sometimes I would add a 4th snack because I admit that I  often consume foods during the day and it is hard for me to stay full after a meal, even a large meal at times.  So the 4th, even the 3rd snack tends to be optional however.

Meal Plan for 6/19/15

Sadly I have taken the time to mistake what I plan to consume.  Not only did I not follow the plan as written beforehand, but the food I consumed did not according to plan.  I admit that I do not eat healthy enough. I need to be more realistic and make more realistic plans for the day.  Subject to change is not of help to me. In fact, it make things worse.  Plans are to be followed.

The above entry is from yesterday.  I don't wish or even want to follow that same pattern.  I tend to follow that pattern because I don't take the time to slowly follow a plan that not only healthy, but that follows the health goals that I wish to set.  For example, 2 chili dogs are great for the moment, but they do not spell moderation.  I will write the description of realistic plans and explain each meal.

Breakfast

I need to be more realistic and make more realistic plans for the day.  Subject to change is not of help to me. In fact, it make things worse.  Plans are to be followed.

Breakfast
*I won't be able to consume foods because I have an appointment tomorrow.  The results work better if I am fasting.

Lunch
* Same as breakfast.  I have an appointment that will interrupt what I will eat for lunch.

Dinner
Tuna Sandwich
30 potato chips

Snack 1
Orange

Snack 2
Orange smoothie

Snacks 3 and 4 will be optional.  The fact of the matter is,  I end up eating too much food to consume more than two snacks a day.  That is the reality.

Diet plan for 6/14/15

Trying to find and create a plan that works can be quite difficult.  It has been for myself.  I had to first find out what a diet plan entails. Do I create a plan for a day?  A week? or a month?  I wish I had to patience to take the time to create a weekly or monthly plan, so I go for a daily plan.  However, my plan needs to be more specific.  It also helps that I need to be more honest and actually follow the plan.  My goal is NOT to be such a perfectionist with it however.

Here is my diet plan for tomorrow, June 14, 2015.

Breakfast
Strawberry and banana yogurt (160-190 calories)
Black Coffee (0 calories)

Lunch
I have to admit that for Sundays, I have no idea what I will eat.  I don't always prepare the meals then, so I will make somewhat of an idea of what I will consumed and what will be prepared on Sunday.  
2 carbs or proteins
1 or 2 vegetables (I need to add more fruits and vegetables to my plate)
1 serving of meat
Water

Dinner
Penne with spinach sauce and tomato pasta sauce
Baked chicken breast
Water

Snack 1

Water

Snack 2

Making small changes

I am doing pretty well.  I have also made a decision to take baby steps when it comes to diet and exercise. Right now, I am only concentrating with diet for now.  I am going to be okay if I were to just take things one day at a time and take baby steps.  For one thing, I need to purchase foods that are lower in sodium or have no sodium at all.  That would be of great help.  I have had so much information to the point where it became stressful and confusing.  Making small changes like adding more fruits and vegetables have been helpful for me.

Here is my plan for tomorrow, June 13, 2015

Breakfast
6:30-8:00 A
Vanilla Yogurt

Lunch
11 AM- 12:30 PM
Penne with spinach onion dip and pasta sauce

My dietary and exercise needs

Breakfast
Fruit
Cereal

Lunch
Carbs
Fruit or Vegetable
Grains
Dairy

Dinner
Carbs
2 Fruit or vegetables
Grains

Snacks

I realize that I should consume more fruits and vegetables.  I have read through various resources, so I am not as sure about carbs.  Either they are an enemy or they are a friend.  Right now I am thinking of my health. I have been in pain and I also have hormonal issues.  Those are the things that I need to think about when it comes to my diet and exercise needs.

Planning to plan

I shall remember to plan something that is productive.  I shall plan something that is responsible and that could keep me alive and well.  I have complained that I have not been doing such.  I have taken a break for so long that I forgot to make plans.  I just hope to follow up on those plans.
