help eating better?
today i ate
breakfast - 2 eggs and a heart healthy cereal with skim milk (and a multivitamin)
lunch - an apple, a handful or 2 of baby carrots, and a pack of 4 little peanut butter cracker sandwich things with water
dinner - a chicken cutlet and half a baked potato, and a spinach salad with milk
so i thought that was good for being healthier right? is it or am i missing a lot?
also the problem is after dinner i feel hungry still for a while, but i dont have any specific craving, i just want food. i dont actually feel HUNGRY though. what can i eat to fill me up but not be too many calories or anything?
thanks

Well, I think "healthy" could be defined a few ways. But I think that as long as you follow the food pyramid(or whatever it's called now) and get all your servings and stuff,you should be fine. Also, try to keep away from sugary and fatty foods too. Like pop. Pop is pretty bad.:0

2 whole eggs are actually really bad for you. Eggs have a lot of fat and cholesterol in them. So try replacing the eggs with some kind of fruit. Like a bannana. Your supposed to have 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. So the carrots and the apples are good.
The Peanut butter crackers are high in protein, which is also good. You need around 40 grams of protein per day to feel energized. Crackers are good too, but it depends on the type. Whole Grain are te best for you.
Dinner looks okay. But like the person below me said, it depends on what you're putting on the baked potatoe. Eat in moderation for the toppings.
If you're still hungry at the end of the day, drink more water. 8 glasses is the recommended amount per day. Chew on Ice, brush your teeth, or much on something like Soy nuts.
well, i hope i helped.
good luck.

Those are good choices as long as you're not adding things, like cheese, sour cream, and butter to the potato, bacon grease dressing to the spinich salad, etc. The peanut butter is okay, but too much peanut butter is fatty. It's a good diet.
So after dinner, if you're still not satisfied, you can eat another apple, as those are really good for us and full of fiber, or something like air-popped popcorn or rice cakes. Those things will satisfy your need to munch without giving you too many calories and fat grams.
Sounds like you're on the right track.
