Man, I used to be able to skip lunch and lose 5 pounds. I'll tell you like I tell my sons...don't let it get away from you because when you reach a certain age, it's going to be extremely difficult to get the weight off. They say that happens at age 40, but for me, it was around 50+ when it started getting difficult to drop weight.
Your month is basically what I'm eating for months at a time now. Well, not entirely true. I mostly skip breakfast, or have a boiled egg (70 calories), and for lunch steel cut oats with a teaspoon of peanut butter and a teaspoon of honey (227 calories). In between I rotate eating an apple, a pear, raw carrots, or occasionally a banana. For dinner, though, I eat what my wife cooks. USUALLY it's not too bad, but sometimes it is. It's slow going. I am usually around 350 calories until dinner time, sometimes as much as 500 calories, but no more.
You'd think I'd be losing weight like crazy with that calorie intake, but I'm not. And that includes running about 10 miles a week, too. Then again, I am 60, and it's just tougher now.
