Yes!.!.!.!.I will give you some meal examples!. First their are a few good resources you can look into!. calorieking!.com is a database where you can type in anything from daily market foods to items at a specific restaurant and find out how many calories per serving and how you would work it out if you wanted to!. Also a great book to use for day to day cooking is Lisa Lillien "Hungry Girl"!. Check out the website www!.hungrygirl!.com!. If your goal is to loose weight you have to do more then just change your eating habits!. You have to get daily exercise!. Cardio, basic weight lifting, yoga, etc!.!. anything that requires physical activity from you!. At least 30-40 min a day, 6 days a week (or most days of the week)!. Eat 6-7 times a day!. I know that sounds crazy but it's healthier to eat more times a day then a couple heavy meals!. I will give you some suggestions for meals but the trick is to have a variety and eat things you will enjoy!. Just alter the ingred!. to make it healthier!.

Using eggbeaters, eggwhites, egg sub!. make a omellette and throw veggies in there!. Protein is important in the morning so add some lean turkey bacon, chicken breast, or a lean meat in there as well!. You may also eat soem black beans or beans on the side!. It can be a spanish style breakfast!.

Fiber and Protein is important to get in your first meal of the day!. If your not already consuming enough fiber in your diet (ie: whole grain bread, legumes-beans, fruit) then you need to do so slowly or else you will feel gasey!.
After breakfast eat a snack a few hours later liek a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts or dried fruit!.
Lunch
Subway is good if your out!. Turkey or Ham is your best bet !.!.or veggi of course!. Stay away from mayo and extra sauce!. Mustard is teh only thing that is ok!. add all teh veggies you wany and ask for wheat!. No cheese!.
