Hi everyone. I am a former anorexic and I am sick of worrying about what I eat on a constant basis.
I am 23, 5′3” and 112lbs. I exercise everyday on an incline treadmill for between 30 and 40 minutes, plus I lift 5lb weights and do sit ups and leg lunges every other day. So, I am pretty active for someone who sits at a desk at work all day.

Anyway, here is an exact day of what I eat. Obviously it changes day to day, but this is a good example of a day of eating for me.

Breakfast – 2 coffee’s with fat-free cream mixed with milk. Sometimes 1 Tbs sugar.
1 bagel with either peanut butter or melted cheese. (Today I had a thin bagel with 1 hashbrown in the middle)

Morning snack: 1 pudding or yogurt.
1 granola bar
1 mini orange
(Sometimes I’ll have baked chips as my snack at work and from time to time, regular chips, but only 1 serving)

Lunch: 2 rice cakes with peanut butter and nutella in the center (made as a sandwich)
Sometimes I’ll just have 2 cookies and some herbal tea instead of an actual lunch. On a lot of days, I will just snack throughout the day on rice cakes, baked chips and fat-free candy (Since I am so bored at work, lol)

Dinner: Usually healthy, example, tonight I’m having 1 serving of boiled non-fried noodles with vegetables cooked in olive oil and seasoning.
(Every so often, I will have fish and chips, the frozen kind from the grocery store and I only have a handful of fries and 1 serving of fish (since it’s the battered kind)

That’s usually it for my days. On certain days, I will treat myself to a chocolate bar, but I either skip lunch or exercise more on those days.

I don’t eat fast food often at all, like, maybe once every 10 weeks!
I don’t drink any juice or sugary drinks, I stick to water, herbal tea, coffee, diet soda.

Is this somewhat normal? I love junk, but I fear weight gain. I don’t eat all healthy foods, but I don’t overeat on fat and junk. I eat a lot of sugar and fat-free foods and exercise 7 days a week.

Will I maintain my weight like this? I am always afraid I am overeating and that’s why I can’t stay off my treadmill. On weekends, I do even more exercise and on days where I feel I have overeaten, I will exercise double-time. I can’t even sit still on Christmas Day! Not a day goes by I don’t exercise and I’m afraid that if one day passes and I am sedentary, I will gain weight.

Do I eat okay? Normal? Enough?

Today’s calories are about 1,360 and my BMR is about 1350-1400 a day, plus I exercise.
Though, sometimes I eat between 1600 and 1700 calories with exercise.

Thanks for all the help!

I spent all evening and using the internet to come up with a good balanced diet plan, but please let me know if and where i have gone wrong. I am needing to lose over a hundred pounds by the way. I am over 30 as well. I am female too.

Breakfast: health smoothie using 1 level scoop nutritional supplement powder, 12 oz soymilk, 1 tbsp flaxseed, and 1/2 cup frozen blueberries..blended

Lunch: 2 cups leafy greens including spinach, 1/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt and 1/2 cup frozen raspberries , with 1 tbsp flaxseed sprinkled ontop (make it like a salad using the greek yogurt in place of dressing)

Snack 1: 1 banana with 1 tbsp peanut butter
Snack 2: 1 activia with fiber yogurt

Dinner: 1 large chicken breast (9 oz), 1 cup frozen corn, 1 can chicken gravy (i use this over the chicken) and 1 tbsp olive oil (I use over the corn to make it more palatable)

Nighttime, herbal tea with lemon

Here are the stats:
Total calories: 1500
Total Fat: 50 grams
Saturated fat… 8 grams
Sodium: 2,400
Fiber: 30 grams
TOtal sugar: 85 grams (55 come from natural sugars in the soymilk, raspberries, blueberries, banana, and corn…. 30 grams come from the nutritional powder, activia, & peanut butter)
Total Protein: 80 grams
Vitamin A: 165%
Vitamin C: 185%
Calcium: 100%
Iron: 100%
Potassium: 3,500 mg
I am sure there are more vitamins and minerals., i just kept track of those listed above as they were most commonly labeled on food labels.
I forgot to add: I know my dinner sounds gross but by the end of the day i know im going to want a hearty supper, and i have done this before and it helps… see i take the chicken breast and throw it in a pan, drizzle the olive oil on it (or sometimes underneath it) grab a handful of frozen corn and throw on top, pour the chicken gravy over that (its 175 calories for the 10 oz can) and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour, then (i know this sounds gross) i put it all in a food processor and blend it, it comes out like a corn dip for pita chips… its really good! and satisfying.
