So I took the advice I got in my other post, and I really put it to heart today. But now I don't know if I did well, so... here's my day!<br><br><br><br>
Breakfast: A bowl of honey nut cheerios, probably about 1.5 cups<br><br>
Lunch: Some bean salad (kidney and black beans in a bit of light italian dressing with some tortilla chips<br><br>
Snack: Carrots and peanut butter <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/lick.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":lick:"><br><br>
Dinner: 1 cup of cooked rotini pasta<br><br>
Snack: A little more bean salad (that stuff is good!)<br><br>
Snack: I had a small bowl of ice cream at 8:00 pm. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/yes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":yes:"> I have such a big sweet tooth...<br><br><br><br>
I took my dog on one 20 minute walk in the morning, then a 40 minute walk in the evening. I rode my horse for about 45 minutes.<br><br><br><br>
So how's my day? I'm not trying to lose too much weight, just get healthier!

I dont see any fruits at all and only carrots for vegetables. For a healthy diet, you really need to focus on your fruits and vegetables (7 to 11 servings is a good goal). Maybe add some bell peppers, onions, corn and tomatoes to your bean salad and have a tomato sauce on your noodles with a huge green salad. Eat a banana or some strawberries with your cereal and ice cream. Maybe even substitute a bowl of cherries for your desert.

I have to third what they said.<br><br>
The basic idea is great- just add more fruits and veggies into it<br><br>
For example:<br><br><br><br>
Breakfast: A bowl of honey nut cheerios, probably about 1.5 cups<br><br><i>with a handful of fresh berries and 1/2 a banana</i><br><br>
Lunch: Some bean salad (kidney and black beans in a bit of light italian dressing with some tortilla chips<br><br><i>add some carrots, celery, artichokes or any other kind of veg to the salad</i><br><br>
Snack: Carrots and peanut butter<br><br>
Dinner: 1 cup of cooked rotini pasta<br><br><i>with garden vegetable marinara sauce with sauteed kale</i><br><br>
Snack: A little more bean salad (that stuff is good!)<br><br>
Snack: I had a small bowl of ice cream at 8:00 pm.<br><br><i>with some more berries overtop</i>

I was wondering if you ate the pasta without anything on it. Pasta just screams "Vegisize me!!!"
