My trainer broke down my suggested caloric intakes for each meal. Here's what he told me today:

"We need you eating a certain amount of calories at each meal throughout the day. This is your caloric breakdown for each meal. 300 calories for breakfast, 100 calories for morning snack, 250 calories for lunch, 100 calories for afternoon snack, and 400 calories for dinner. That’s your target and you have to get as close to these numbers as possible. THE ONLY WAY YOU LOSE WEIGHT IS BY EATING SLIGHTLY LESS CALORIES THAN YOU BURN THROUGHOUT THE DAY. It doesn’t matter what you eat (to a point) it just means less calories than you burn. "

So there you have it, folks! I thought my cousin-in-law was CrAzY when she told me the secret to her weight loss was eating 1,000 calories/day. 1200/day is killing me! But I trust my friend and have faith that this WILL work if I stick to it.

**Thanks and hugs to my wonderful husband who is always there to let me whine and complain to him how much my body hurts, how hungry I am, and who put up with my crabiness. :) Eric (trainer) told me that if I can just get past these first couple of weeks, it will go much smoother. Yay!
