How much do you eat in a day and what? Do you really get lots of fruits and veggies in? Also, what vitamins do you take?

I take Cod Liver Oil in the morning because I find that it stops my hip aching (I walk a LOT). Vitamins aren't really essential unless you do not get enough already in your diet.
For breakfast, i eat a high-fibre or multi-grain cereal. Recently it's been Cheerios but i change between Wheatabix and Quaker's Oats (depends on where you're from if you know these brands). I also drink a glass of reduced-sugar cranberry juice, as this has 100% Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin C.
For a snack, I usually have either fruit (strawberries at the moment) or Ryvita (again, you may not know the brand, basically they're wholegrain crackers).
For lunch I have wholemeal bread sandwiches, with any kind of filling as long as it's not terrible unhealthy like chocolate spread.
For lunch it's whatever my Mum is cooking (I'm 17, a student). This can range from chicken and salad to fish and chips, but there is always a portion of veg with it like peas/carrots/sweetcorn. Then sometimes i'll have yoghurt for dessert.

In a day, you should have 3 meals.. make sure of all 3 of them. You're really suppose to eat a ton of small little meals, so you can realize when your full.. but us Americans dont do that very well. Anyways. For breakfast, have something healthy to start out the day. And not the same thing everday, anything repeatdly makes you can weight, and makes you unhealthy. Your diet needs to be balanced. For lunch something non-greasy is perferable, and something small. Make sure you eat slower so your body can tell you when your full, but knowing that you probably have some type of lunch break that could be hard. So you might just wanna try eatting something small, and then having something small again later. For dinner, its your least important meal, even if it might seem the other way. Something to fill you up, but again eat slow and in small portions. But make sure to fill yourself up w/ the healthy stuff so your not craving a bedtime snack of ice cream or something. Balancing your food is the best thing i can tell you, thats what my aunt always told me when i wanted to lose weight! [shes a dietition] You should get fruits and vegetables in everyday. And vitamins, i personally dont take any BUT its not a bad idea. I would ask your doctor, depending on what is good for you. Everyones bodies are different. Well hopefully that helped a little bit! :]
