So I've started eating healthier and I've gotten to the point over the past week or so where I'm now eating low calories, low fat foods and I was curious if anyone could provide any insight into what I'm eating currently to tell me what I should add/subtract. I eat pretty much the same thing every day right now but I'm open to change.
My food day generally consists of the following throughout the day:
1 4 oz yogurt (blackberry/pomegranate)
2 gala apples
1 pack Quaker instant Oatmeal
1 turkey sandwich (whole grain bread)
1 11oz EAS protein shake (after an hour long walk/run)
This all equates out to be about 810 calories, 7.5g fat, 144g carbs, 42g protein and 30g fiber.
Should I add more calories to the mix? I don't really feel the need to eat anything other than these foods currently though I know most people would say 810 cals is too low. Any suggestions on where I could improve this? I honestly can't stand most vegetables and I think that could be where I'm going wrong. The vegetables I do enjoy, potatoes and corn, aren't necessarily the best in the world. I am trying to lose weight but I want to learn how/what to eat to be able to lose weight so that any exercise I do won't be for nothing.
Thanks!

So sorry nobody answered your questions.
It sounds like you already have a real good idea that you should be eating more fruits and vegetables. That is probably the best advice I would give, but I'd like to add in a caution. Do not cut out fats, proteins and breads. Make sure you have a little of those or else you'll be sure to develope health problems. I know, I did it to myself last summer while dieting. I cut out fat for a couple of months and developed gall bladder problems which has brought me to this forum.
There is a superb weight loss forum that is very active, and your questions will get answered, I can guarantee you, is caloriesperhour.com
It has food calculators, exercise calculators for almost every activity imaginable, including sleeping, tv watching and knitting. Everyone there is incredibly kind and offer wonderful support.
The people there will be able to help you with lots of suggestions that you can take or leave without fear of judgement.

This is a reply to # 1,172,013You don't have to cut calories that low to lose weight, and it might actually be bad for you to get so little fat in your diet. Read the Weston Price dietary guidelines here
http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/dietguidelines.html
to get a basic understanding, then peruse the site if you want more detailed information. You don't have to eat like a rabbit to lose weight - just eat traditional, whole foods prepared in the correct way, that's what the Weston Price foundation is really saying. You know it makes sense! - Re: Trying to eat healthier, any sug... Bloom

This is a reply to # 1,172,013Hi there,
I applaud you for making an effort to eat healthy,
and for seeking assistance.
The way I see it, you are focusing on calory count
only. You have not considered whether your eating
plan provides you with all the nutrients that your
body needs.
At the end of the day it's not only about losing weight,
it's also about becoming healthy. Also, health does not
depend on diet alone, it depends on many factors. Read the book
Master of Your Destiny 1: Take Control of Your Health
which you can find on

This is a reply to # 1,172,013No single food provides all of the essential nutrients in the right proportions, so a healthy Diet should comprise a wide variety of foods eaten in moderation.
Usually the percentage of our energy intake derived from different energy giving nutrients is considered.
Tips for a healthy diet
*
Reduce the quantity of fats and sugars added to foods in cooking, or at the table.
*
Choose fewer foods that are high in sugars (eat less candy, sweet desserts and soft drinks).
*
Choose lower fat and lower Sugar foods from the other five food groups often.
