Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs + toasted bagel
Did you just workout? If not, drop the bagel, add more protein and some veggies.

Quote:
Lunch: ham, cheese and tomato sandwich on whole wheat / whole grain bread + banana
meh, again... carbs sans workout. but at least you're getting protein and veggies.

Quote:
Dinner: Ground turkey + steamed broccoli and potatoes + salad (olive oil and vinegar dressing)
IMO, your best (if not most boring) meal of the day.

Quote:
Snacks: raw walnuts and/or almonds
Good snacks, but no substitute for another 2 meals (one in between dinner and lunch, and one in between lunch and breakfast)

You seem REALLY low on calories on this diet, your ideas on carbohydrate timing are antiquated at best, and your protein levels are too low. Start by adhering to john berardi's 7 habits and if you can stick to that and STILL don't drop weight, you can start thinking about eating less.

I also try to drink lots of water, I normally have soy milk with dinner and I've started taking a multivitamin (one a day Men's Health).
This concerns me mildly.
