I signed up for fitday.com this evening, entered what I ate today (which was a terrible example because I had meetings all day and did not have my normal salad for lunch. Point is I realized my caloric intake was like 1700! But now I am wondering what should I be eating? I know what foods are ok on induction but can anyone PLEASE give me some sample menus for each meal? I have so much to lose I can not afford to gain any until I figure this out!

Please help me!!!!!!
Thanks
Given your weight, I don't think your calories are too high. If you post a few complete menus (including quantities for everything) in the "Review My Menu" forum or give a link to your public FitDay account, we can take a look and make suggestions.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
