If we are taking the 1300-calorie everyday to reduce a pound a week, we can distribute it like this:

Breakfast: 300 calories (A large bagel with a tablespoon of cream cheese)

Lunch: 400 calories (Half of a club sandwich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup)

Dinner: 500 calories(Medium pork chop, a cup of mashed potatoes, some
fresh veggies, and a side salad )

Evening Snack: 100 calories ( fresh apple, much on two cups of air-popped popcorn, or treat yourself to a
small scoop of ice cream or half a bar of fine dark chocolate)

By planning out your meals in advance, you can ensure that you get a good, balanced diet that is full of the vitamins and nutrients you need, without going over your calorie limits.

I agree,, but my days are 12 hour working shifts.. so I have to adjust accordingly to get the most of my meals and space them out..

Thanks for that awesome post. It makes more sense when it is all written out that way. Sounds like a pretty healthy way to eat and you can still "splurge" once in a while.
