Am I eating Right??

Question
QUESTION: Hello,
I am wondering if you can give me some food ideas of what to be eating while I am training and losing weight.  I have heard a lot about food that makes you bloated...and would like to stay away from those (especially during bikini season).
What is your opinion on smoothies or protien drinks...like from Booster Juice.  I get one a day (sonic soy), and I am wondering if this is a good idea or if I am harming myself?
Also, I do not eat a ton of protien (usually because of time restraints limiting me from cooking meats), is this going to really harm me?
On a regular day I have:
Breakfast-Meal replacement bar or smoothie
Snack-fruit
Lunch-salad (just veggies and a little cheese, vinagerett dressing)
Snack-fruit or veggies
Dinner-sub (subway 6" turkey) or stir fry (usually shrimp)
How does this plan look?? There are days I eat more than this..and days I eat less depending on what I am doing that day.
Could you please let me know if what I am eating is good? And also could you give me some ideas of what else to eat if you don't think this is good?? THank you and sorry for the extended question!!


ANSWER: Hi Amy,

Too much protein, too much packaged junk.

Have a banana and some raw nuts, no bars, etc. You might as well just eat the wrapper.

Is that real cheese or processed cheese food?

I am afraid to ask what a snackfruit is, I will hope it is fresh raw something, or dried unsulphured and unsweetened.

Answer
Whew! I had this vision of sugary fruit strips that came in 12 packs of plastic wrapped brite coulored yuk. Euw.

You make your own protein from amino acid that are in almost anything.

Avoid refined sugar, refined flour, processed, microwaved flavored packing material that nothing but a human would mistake for food.

Just go for real food, whole grains, fresh, raw produce.
