Please help me plan out meals specifically for my height/weight?!
Question: Please help me plan out meals specifically for my height/weight?
I'm 5'2, 117 pounds, 15 years old.
I just found out that becuse I eat barely, I gained weight and it saddens me cause I worked my *** off this past month for no reason. I just need help planning meals, like when and what and how much. Please take your time and help me, it would mean a lot, because I never knew that how much/when/what you eat meant so much to your weight loss. Thanks.

Alright, I'll be glad to help you out on this one too!
Breakfast: Some soy milk OR skim milk + healthy cereal (with fiber to get your stomach going) = 300 calories max.
A.m snack: 1 medium apple = 52 calories
Lunch: In school (1 portion with carbohydrates,protein, and essential fat) = max 400 calories
Pm snack: 1 handful of nuts = 200 calories
Pm snack nr 2: Green tea with 2 fruits and a vegetable = 150 calories (Ex, apple, orange,carrot)
Dinner: Homemade food with carbohydrates,protein and essential fat max 300 calories
Total:1402 calories.
And for the exercise: Jogging 2 hours = Burns around 500 calories
Swimming breaststroke 1 hour = 590 calories
Rope jumping for 45 minutes = 500 calories
This will boost your metabolism in no time because of the 6 meals you'll be having daily.
Also, here's a site to support your diet! :) if you wonder how many calories there is in anything, just check it out there: http://caloriecount.about.com/
And I can't tell you WHEN to eat, because I don't know your daily schedule, but I'm sure you can fit in your daily snacks and meals somewhere.

first things first-losing weight means 80% diet and 20% exercise.
breakfast-egg whites with whole grain toast
snack(if you can eat a morning snack)-protein bar
lunch-chicken, tuna, taco, caesar, or whatever salad you like with yogurt and a cookie or whatever treat you like:D
snack-low fat cheese stick
dinner-a fist size of meat, quarter of a plate of fruit, and a quarter plate of veggies. have a plain side salad
dessert-protein shake
protein is essential in losing weight because it fills you up and has little carbs and/or calories
for your exercise, do a half an hour of cardio (running, jumproping, swimming, cycling, dancing, whatever you like)
then do 20 pushups (the guy kind) and 30 crunches
good luck!!!:D
