I just started running on saturday. Am trying to lose my stomach!

I alter my diet too. The thing is i would like to know if am doing the right thing here's my diet schedule:

Breakfast
3 french toast sticks
eggs (scrambled)Serving size:size of the scooper they use to scoop icecream. regular sized scooper.
bacon or 2 sausage patties
hash brown
water

Lunch
well, they serve different things for lunch and dinner at my school everyday but, I'll tell you what I had today.

Pasta with grilled chicken pieces
collared greens and corn
salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and a little bit of ranch dressing probably a bit over a tablespoon.
water

Dinner
stir fry with rice
string beans
water
that's what i had for dinner tonite

From the first day i started running, with every meal i ate i had vegtables along with it. so am i off to a good start? With one of the meals i had wheat bread too. It was dinner.

My snacks well..........

After excercise, i eat a pack of oodles and noddles. start my execercing at 6:00PM and end at 7:00PM. around 9:00-10:00 I eat the noddles then i go to bed around 12:00am

Another question i had to ask is it ok to at least have to plates of food per meal? They serve us such little portion sizes and you end up not full. I have cut my plates of food down to 1. It was so hard. Am i doing the right thing as far as dieting? can i still eat what i want, like for example as long as it is one plate of food? or do i have to quit all the way? so confused

I hope that am making sense.

bacon or 2 sausage patties
hash brown

===all of those are what your "suppose" to stay away from.
High High fat/Oil/Calorie content in that breakfast...
why dont you just have a bannana, and a cup of oatmeal.

Lunch
well, they serve different things for lunch and dinner at my school everyday but, I'll tell you what I had today.

Pasta with grilled chicken pieces
collared greens and corn
salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and a little bit of ranch dressing probably a bit over a tablespoon.
water
=== pasta is high in calories/ -what sauce (high fat)- ranch= high fat..
why dont you make a low calorie sandwhich composed of 2 pieces organic wheat bread/ deli slices/ lowfat cheese/ mustard.

My snacks well..........

After excercise, i eat a pack of oodles and noddles. start my execercing at 6:00PM and end at 7:00PM. around 9:00-10:00 I eat the noddles then i go to bed around 12:00am
=== snacks should be SMALL.. before you exercise, have a high energy piece of fruit; bannana, orange...
do not have fat..

Dinner
stir fry with rice
string beans
water
that's what i had for dinner tonite
== stir fry= fat. rice= high calorie -brown rice good white bad.

your diet is not a diet. you have high fat- your eating the wrong things..
You want to stay away from fat. also- stay away from fast acting carbs such as white rice, pasta, and white bread... Also- some fruit have high sugar which equals high energy, and fast acting... so best fruit to consider not before exercise would be lower in sugar... apple... or fruit that hasnt ripened yet.

I would HIGHLY stop eating the food that other people prepare, and start off by making everything yourself. You have to understand this: it takes about 3 hours on a treadmill to burn off a 150 calorie cookie... going at a 4.0 incline 1.0 pace.

Low Fat. Good Fats. Lower GI index carbs. Water. Low Sugar. Fruits/Veggies.

Dont eat after 9;., stay away from meat at night also.

i am 17, and self taught. Please, do not eat anything like that and consider it being "healthy".
