My doctor said to eat a breakfast consisting of a bowl of cereal, a fruit juice and a piece of fruit, 2 pieces of toast or a bagel, and a yogurt or cottage cheese.

For lunch, he said do a lean cuisine or a turkey sandwich.

For dinner, he said to either skip dinner, or (if I must) eat a salad with low-fat, low-cal dressing.

For the most part, I've been following this. I'm not sure if I'm getting enough calories through out the day. I'm wondering how many calories I need. I've heard too few can be bad for weight loss.

Oh, also, I should mention that I hit the gym 4 or 5 times a week for 30 minutes on the ellyptical and strength training.

Any help or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Fruit Juice? That's loaded with sugar which turns into FAT. I hope he mentioned a low calorie cereal with a the smallest gram of sugar and skim milk. That breakfast consist of way to many carbs, I have a bowl of special k cereal, fat free milk, a couple of strawberries and that's it for breakfast, lunch I have a pear and a protein bar, dinner rotessier chicken(no skin) and a veggie. Snack I have a cheese stick or south beach cookies(2). Are you sure he didn't mean choose one of those as your breakfast? Please move your question to My experience and I'm sure you'll get more feedback.
