What I did to curb my evening hunger was have a bowl of cereal with skim milk in the evening. It didn't effect my diet goals at all. I lost a total of 70 pounds over 70 weeks. Its good you have a menu and meal plan. Thats what I did for each day of the week. It takes the cravings away if you can see on paper what you are suppose to eat and snack for that day.
Do you live in northern california?If so I'll come over and help you.How can I make my diet routine more effective?
you certainly have the right idea with spreading meals over small meals and limiting portion sizes. however, i think you might be taking in too little calories, and not enough protein and fat. maybe add in 2 eggs in the morning, or natural peanut butter toast. it's ok to have a big breakfast since your body has been on a 7-8 hour fast due to sleep. maybe add in some nuts or veggetables to some of your snacks (i like baby carrots and cherry tomatoes cause they're easily accessible). as for dinner, just include some lean meat like chicken, fish, or lean beef to go with whatever veggie and grain you want. i also think it's ok to have a small snack before you sleep, especially if you're a late sleeper like me. maybe some oatmeal with milk.
Whatever diet you undertake, it will only work if you feel full and content most of the time. Otherwise, you'll easily fall out of it and back to your bad habits. So try eating five small meals/day instead of big meals.
For dinner, try grilled chicken caesar salad or Baby spinach salad with sliced grilled chicken or steak. I also like fish with some brown rice and steamed veggies.
For work out, try to make it fun. Studies show that people get bored with their workout routine after 90 days resulting to going back to their old habits of not exercising.
Good luck.
