Cutting calories!

Everyone says cutting calories is hard but gosh no on saild that you wouldnt be able to eat ANYTHING! I started cutting calories about a week ago and its working well however, I feel like im eating the same things over and over. I recently got a cookbook with 200 recipies under 200 calories so im hoping to be able to cook more at night.

One main problem is the fact that I am in school and I work so I need some ideas for a fast and easy breakfast or lunch for a girl on the go! If anyone has any ideas please let me know because I need to start eating breakfast so im not starving by lunch time and eat way more than I should.

Calorie count is important but not as much as where the calories are coming from. Try a protein shake for breakfast, scrambled eggs or a can of tuna. Your body doesnt store protein as fat. It will get rid of what you dont need.

There is so much you can eat with the amount of calories you should be alloted on phen. I can bairley get 1200 calories in during the day on phen. How many calories are you eating every day? You should be eating a small meal every 2 hours or so. Have a heavy breakfast so you dont feel hungry all day. Load up on protein, have some eggs, bacon, sausage, anything like that. I make stuff on my days off for the week ahead. I might scramble up some eggs with bacon, cheese, and onion and put it in tupperwear to freeze for the week. Or I will make boiled eggs etc, if I'm on the run then I drink a protein shake. For lunch I will have veggies n meat. Bake some chicken or meat ahead of time and once again portion it out for the week. Baked chicken on a salad, tuna sandwhich, mixed veggies and meat etc. Snacks are veggies, fruits, protein snacks (i.e chesses, dairy products, nuts, protein bars, or shakes) then have some more meat and veggies and maybe a whole wheat grain and if you have leftovers save them for the next day.
