Today is my third day on the diet, and I feel like I ate a LOT today, but I'm not sure if the amount I'm eating is alright...would someone mind reviewing what I've eaten today and give me their opinion? Thanks!

breakfast: (9am)

1 cup cottage cheese

lunch: (12pm)

salad with grilled chicken

sugar free jello

snack:(4pm)

two pieces cold cut low-fat chicken breast

celery with 2 tbs natural peanut butter

dinner: (8pm)

makeshift 10 min turkey chili:

pastene canned tomatoes

green pepper

turkey chunks (thanksgiving leftover!)

kidney beans

tabasco sauce


I also haven't been really paying close attention to portion size, just kind of guessing on things like the pb and the cottage cheese that I feel should be somewhat limited...is this alright too?

thanks so much for the advice!

Hi Nicole!
Welcome to our board.


Your menu seems great for phase #1 (to me).
One of the best things about SBD is that you don't have to count or measure most things, just eat till full, and make sure you get your veggies in (1/2 c. with breakfast, 2 cups during lunch and dinner).

Hi Nicole,


Yes, you should eat your snacks even if you are not hungry.
