A Typical Day
This is what a normal day of eating looks like for me. Please, someone let me know what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.
Thanks ladies!

Sandra, first off, this looks really good. Just a few suggestions:
-I'd add more protein at breakfast (I mentioned this in the post below). Protein shake, eggs, egg whites, etc...
-You need more calories at lunch. 150 calories is a snack, not a meal. Heck, it's not even a snack! Maybe add some carbs in there? Sweet potatoes, brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat tortilla...You could also add some almonds or other nuts to your salad--add some crunch and healthy fat.
-I noticed there were no macros for your salad dressing, but I'll assume it's all healthy fats, right? ;)
-What time do you typically workout? You need some pre- and post-workout nutrition. (You need protein before and after, and definitely some good carbs, like oatmeal, rice cakes or cereal, after working out.)
-The zone bar and Curves protein drink could be higher in protein and lower in carbs. Most protein drinks you can get at Walmart or a supplement store will have 20-25 g of protein, 3-4 g carbs and 2-3 g of fat. Sounds like you may have some added sugar in these snacks. (Zone Bars are notorious for having hidden added sugar).
Hope that helps, friend.
Oh so organized!!! WOW!!
I looked at power bars last night while shopping at Walmart. Wow! the one that had the highest amount of protein (25gms) had 300 calories. Geez, that's a whole meal. (mark said "duh, that's the point?") I guess if you are in a hurry that would be ok but I'm not usually in a hurry. You could have a huge salad with chicken or turkey breast, a little cheese and even some dressing for 300 calories and actually feel satisfied.
hahah..my friend at work saw the pie chart and thought I had gone overboard. I wish I could say that I was that organized. In reality the tools at www.sparkpeople.com take care of all the organizing. I just enter what I eat every day and it does the rest. :)
I agree with you Aola. After looking a several brands of protein bars, I decided to stop buying/eating them. It's just not worth it to me. For a meal on the go they might come in handy, but other than that there is just no need.
