I'm trying to loose 20 pds & i like food alot. I've been trying to eat healthy snacks during the day. We have a garden so I've been eating fresh strawberries from there. Today I probably ate a pound or more of em.

30 min JOG then

BREAKFAST : Brocolli, 3 egg whites, half banana/strawberries, slice of lowfat cheese

SNACK: Plantains, slice of lowfat cheese

LUNCH: chicken soup, lots of strawberries, 4 unsalted crackers, slice of lowfat cheese

I've basically been snacking on fresh strawberries all day

Is this healthy or high in calories or Sugar???

Seema	the sugar from strawberries is fine, they are natural sugars plus the strawberries provide your body with other needed vitamins and minerals.

$$$420$$$J Money$$$420$$$	Hmmmmmmmm, that's too much food to eat if you are "trying" to lose weight. Why don't you slow down on the berries fatty?

soccer521	I love strawberries. I ate like 50 yesterday. I guess its ok to eat alot as long as you dont eat alot at one time.

Monica	I found this website that is a calorie-counter for strawberries and I just thought it might help. Best of luck! Website: http://www.thecaloriecounter.com/Foods/900/9316/Food.aspx

~♥~happy_giggles~♥~	Well it's not that bad, its not like eating four pounds of candy, but little by little the sugar level is going to add up to a big number, but overall it's pretty healthy. Good job!

sportsguy00963	no weight loss there

MARY S	NO PROBLEM JUST BE ON ALERT FOR ACID REFLUX UND WHY CHEESE 3 TIMES A DAY? YA GOT DYAHREA? I SAY YA NEED A FEW NUTS ..UND WHAT ABOUT TOFU OR Soy????? BOLT UP THE DIET WITH SOME FISH UND LESS CHEESE UND BE MODERATO WITH TEH STRAWBERRIES...REILY..IT OUT OF CONTROL I THINK....UND TEH PETSICIDES?

Nick	thats a pretty good diet but it could be better. if you eat too much of any one food it WILL be bad for you. its not like weight watchers where there is free foods because it is a proven fact that if you eat too much fruit or vegetables it will have the same effect as a cheese burger. good luck

I'm not the one to ask...	sounds like you are working your butt off!!!!!! and give me some strawberrys! I think that if they are fresh then you have nothing to worry about and there is the jog......I think that you are doing great!

tee2	Well I have stawberries on a daily basis in a smoothie but I think your going overboard. Why don't you mix it up a bit and eat different fruits. Pears, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, these are all high in fibre which is good for you.

megansm1975	Everything in moderation. A cow gets fat eating grass..right. A pound of strawberries is alot. They are very good for you...just not that many.

cynara	You should eat a variety of foods - some people can become allergic to some fruits & vegetables if they eat too many of a particular kind.

Aleah B	Strawberries are good, but I wouldn't eat that many of them maybe 3-5 in the morning. ALso, to lose weight oatmeal is really good in the morning, and that is great to cut up strawberries into. I also reccomend fruits like melon, cantaloupe and definitley blueberrries-which would be great for oatmeal too! Good Luck! : )

jimmys babi girl	You should eat smaller meals if you want to loose weight. And instead of the normal 3 meals a day, use 6. Strawberrys are good for you, but to much is not...they could actually reverse your hard work, much like anyfood. =) SO keep it easy with the strawberries and best of luck with your weight loss goal!!! <3

Jenny C	No thats a great diet Plan, I would try doing weight watchers or eating special K cereal really helps. Weight watchers is great because it is based on points, and you set a goal of how many points you can reach per day. Like my goal is 15, that means that I can only eat foods that add up to 15points for the whole day.

slickmickeygal	mix up the fruit. apples, bananas, melons, grapes are all good. also have veggies. carrotts are a great snack. and dont forget about dinner!!

Aaron & Amanda B	sounds like your doing good keep up the great work strawberries are a good snack but you might want to mix it up a bit like instead of eat-ting the strawberries you might want to try blueberries or grapes if you can get apples and cut them in slices or an orange that is a good way to go ! on the strawberries or other fruits I would limit to about 30 a day not more then that and don't eat them so fast slow is better then you will fill full! oatmeal is good in the morning if you buy the ones with the different types of flavors! skim milk is good and orange juice is good vitamin C!

Gabriella C	Strawberries are not bed. But you should definitely not eat more than a pound in on sitting. Try eating about 4 or 5 strawberries instead of a pound.

Joe Jonas's future wife	if you have too much of anything you can get a stomach ache or you could gain weight. try to eat a little less of those things. but definately dont stop eating, you don't want to end up in the hospital. It is really high in calories, and strawberries already have alot of sugar in them, so i guess that would add more sugar, or too much sugar. I'm sorry, but I would eat a little less, but don't go on one of those pills to make you skinnier, or loose weight. I actually think they are just being lazy. I would try to workout a little bit more. Get yourself into shape. My dad runs 12 miles every day on the track. He listens to his ipod when he runs so he doesn't have to listen to his own breath running out. At first when he ever started running he got really tired and didn't run that fast. Now 1 year later and he is really into shape and, well you know what I mean. I really hope I helped!

Hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi	I say just right : )

Superwoman	the cheese killed it

DLW	half a cup of raw strawberries has about 50 calories and 4 of that is fat. there is a lot of sugar about 7g per serving. Strawberries are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Folate and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C and Manganese. but A large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars. a pound of strawberries is a little much if you are trying to diet.

royalbird	All things in moderation. That's the key to being healthy. If you do too much of anything, even if it's a good thing, it can backfire. But, I'd say fresh fruit is probably a good snack, just don't overdo it. If you're that hungry, you need a snack that is more satisfying, something with protein. Strawberries won't make you feel less hungry. But, I'd love to come over and have some fresh strawberries--I LOVE strawberries--they are my most favorite food. They don't grow where I live...

luciousbbwkitty	There are good sugars and bad. Fruit sugars are natural so of course they are good for you. But wow! A pound of strawberries? Slow down and try other fruits. Also, The diet Plan you are on only starves your body. You will end up gaining the weight you are losing back when you resume regular eating. You can still have lean meats in your diet and lose the weight But! Cut back on the strawberries!

Psyco Hugger	Strawberries are good but not in excess... try to combine with a different fruit.... maybe some apples... pineapple.... :) Good Luck.

SNOZRT	jeeeeezus!! you F@T A33!!!! omfg!!! 1pound! they should eat u!!

beano	Gillian McKeith's books say lots of fruits and veggies are good and that you should stay away from breads, cheese, and red meats. have all of the fruits, veggies, fish, and beans you want!

Miss terry	its a pretty good diet but you have to remember that strawberries like all fruit contain a certain amount of sugar so I would limit them to maybe 2 small portions a day about 10 small berries at a time

sagemettle	Strawberries are a healthy fruit, but too many is till too many calories. Berries generally have less sugar per volume then some other fruits such as bananas but they'll still add too many calories. 3/4 of a cup of whole (not sliced or trimmed), raw berries is one serving and will have between 60 and 80 calories. Depending on how you measure. So other than the strawberries the meals you put in are pretty good. Plantains should be eaten in moderation too and make sure they aren't processed with sugar.

Tiffany	simple answer...too much of ANYTHING isn't good for you. so yeah, you should probably lay off a bit. Even though they are fabulous!

Roo Dancer	Strawberries aren't a bad snack, actually their pretty healthy but, they are high in sugar so eat them in moderation--good luck = )
