Dividing the meals

Today's weight : 144 pounds.

3 small meals and 2 snacks a day.

For breakfast, I have a pear or apple or both, the big varieties, not the small ones. Then if I get hungry before lunch, I will have another fruit, a papaya or melon.

For lunch, I have cereal and milk, if no one is cooking. Or just rice with lots of vegetables. For the afternoon snack, I have a glass of diluted fruit juice. Or some nuts.

At dinner, it is lean protein and lots of vegetables again.

I have 3 servings of vegetables per meal. The carbo or protein portion only make up 1/4 of my meal.

I fill up my plate with vegetables first, leaving only a small space for my carbo or protein. In doing so, I am reducing the amount of carbo in my meal. It was in my initial plan to take more protein than carbo. But I can't fit the additional protein with my daily calories intake range. Rather, I am aiming for equal portion of carbo and protein in my present diet.
