      - so what do you eat? there's a lot of whole grains and lean protein in there. and, aside from the snacks, not too much sugar. ok, the snacks do look bad. but otherwise?

        np: you do know that "iced coffee" is coffee with ice, right? The calories depend on what she added.

      - if it was as she said a "small" burrito, it needn't have had a lot of calories. I wasn't thinking chipotle-sized.

- it's fine. It's not the world's most optimal diet, but provided that the burrito was indeed small, I'd say you're in an OK calorie range. Just get some vegetables in there.

- that's a pretty high carb lunch, which is why you're getting tired in teh afternoon and jolting yourself awake with the coffee & sugar. Eat a salad w/protein for lunch, fruit and some protein for snack. You'll feel better.

    - stay away from the refined carbs, then (the wrap on the burrito, the candy bars, sugar in your coffee). Stick to complex carbs and pair them with some protein. Also,eating smaller portions throughout the day rather than 3 big meals can really help.
