Your moving in the right direction with the eating every 2-3 hours. 5-6 Smaller meals a day helps speed up your metabolism. Having a good exercise routine is great also, but in order to get where you want to go you are right, you have to have a solid diet. This site has boatloads of info available to you on both. There's a thread in the specific diet and nutrition forum called "diet thread" that in very insightful, read thru it carefully. You have a very attainable goal. The quickest way to get an answer to your question is to doa search for it at the bottom of the page. Most have been answered before in great detail. If you still need help, clarification or just looking for support just post your question or whatever in the right forum on the baords. Again, welcome to FT and good luck! -------------- Seize the day!
