Breakfast:
1 protein bar
1 bag of lowfat popcorn
100 calories worth of lean turkey breast

Snack:
2 graham crackers and a tablespoon of lowfat peanut butter

Lunch:
2 slices whole wheat bread
lean turkey or chicken
lettuce
tomato
honey mustard

Snack:
1 granola bar, 1 piece of fruit

Dinner:
1 cup pasta
4 oz. grilled chicken
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 cup cooked vegetables


I do either a 60 minute treadmill workout or a 45 minute run with hills daily. But I've been anorexic 2 years, eating around 900 calories. My nutritionist gave me this meal plan, and I'm allowed to keep doing the same amount of exercise, but I'm scared that I will put on weight from fat. Since I'm following that meal plan and exercising will I put on muscle instead?

You're not eating too much fat, and you're eating plenty of protein, so you'll probably put on muscle weight rather than fat weight. But weight is weight.

:P You took the words right out of my mouth.
Protein will help you build muscle

you know if your trying to lose weight, the best thing really is just to get a balanced diet and getting regular exercise. The worse mistake someone can make when trying to lose weight is to starve themselves, because when you do that your body goes into survival mode (thus storing any fat that you already have in your body, this makes it hard to lose weight.)

Does a watermelon count as a piece of fruit?

dah, sorry i didn't read the whole thing before. i doubt that you would put on fat since you're not consuming that much fat in the first place.

popcorn and turkey for breakfast? what happened to whole wheat toast and egg white omelettes?

I wondered that same.  Maybe its toast popcorn bites.

I don't understand why popcorn is good for people at breakfast. But that looks like a good meal plan. You might stay the same weight...but muscle is weight. It may not be fat but it still is weight.
