Hi. I'm 19 years old, I weigh about 170-180 and I'm about 5'2. I read that my calorie intake should be about 1425 a day. I don't like to exorcise, so that's not really an option. What I was wondering is what should I be eating to be healthy and lose about 50 pounds, by summer? I do plan on starting to record my calorie intake, I'm just not sure what I should be eating for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or dinner. I'm a very picky eater too. Thanks.

Hi Becky,

Saying something like “I want to lose about 50 pounds by summer. But I don’t like to exercise, so that’s not really an option. Plus I’m a very picky eater.

is about the same as saying:

I want to make lots of money. But I don’t want any demanding job and I can’t make any extra effort.

Sorry but it ain’t gonna happen if you’re not willing to change your lifestyle. You took the first step by calculating how much you should eat, next steps are:

1- to educate yourself about sound nutrition (best way to do it: the old fashioned way: with a book like the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno).

2- to get moving: even if it’s only 30 minutes of walking a day you have to get moving to get things going in your life.

Sorry for being so straightforward and kind of mean in my reply but it’s sometimes very discouraging for me to “spoon-feed” fitness information over and over again. I cannot make it happen for you. You’re the only person in control of your body.
