What he said. What you listed looked like a lot, then I looked at it again and realized a lot of the foods you're eating aren't very calorie dense at all :-(

Up your cals.

Basically, all day, you ate 2 pieces of bread, a can of tuna, a chicken breast, a cup of fruit and a cup of vegetables..


you need to read up on nutrition

Meal one looks more like a meal two. Have a traditional breakfast. eggs, oatmeal. And the 1 half can tuna thing is deff not a good thing. With the little amount of carbs you are eating you should be eating alot more protein. Eat the whole can. Take away the slice of bread in your third meal and sub with a half cup brown rice actually change the third meal all together and have the rice with vegies and chicken.

Also at ur weight how in the world can you go the day without passing out. A handfull of grapes, seriously? That whole meal should be added to the salad in the next meal. Can you honestly go 3-4 hrs after only some grapes and a bell peper. Change ur entire diet. You will never see a diet like that in any magazine or website that is giving a diet plan I promise you.

Wheres the protein? Every meal should have some protein milk, cottage cheese, supplement, meat add a protein source to each of meals
