Am i having a good day so far?!
Question: I have this for lunch and had this for breakfast..
an orange
a apple
some celery and carrots
a little bag half full of green grapes
about 6 nice sized strawberries

You are eating enough veggies today but do you know you have to have at least three portions of whole grain foods, like brown rice, pasta, oats, whole wheat bread or something similar? and yes there is plenty of protein in peanut butter but there is plenty of fat too so be careful with it. Also there is no calcium in your menu. Have a yogurt or a glass of skimmed milk. Calcium is very important, not only for your bones but for weight management too. People with high calcium intake loose weight quicker or maintain it more successfully than those with low intake. so you just have to balance your diet, it has to be varied. Well done on eating so many fruit and vegetables though!
it sounds healthy..
but sounds like a bit much food if you're on a diet.
pretty good lol keep it up :D
sounds good. you need protein as well like you said. Peanut butter is good but I'd try to incorporate other proteins as well at some point, beans, milk, cheese, or some lean meat (if you do eat meat). Women need iron as well which often comes from meat. Take a multivitamin or some fruits, veggies, and grains have iron too like cherries or beans. You lunch seems like a pretty filling amount of fruits and veggies. you could probably split it up and eat half around lunch and the other half 3 hours or so later as a snack. Lots of studies show 5 to 6 smaller meals is better than 3 big meals because it keeps your metabolism revved up so you're burning more calories. Generally speaking, eat till you're satisfied, not till you're full. And I hope you brought another bottle of water or are refilling that one a few more times. The 64 ozs (8 8oz glasses of water) is a good guide to live by. But keep up the good work!
