hi, id like to eat healthier..

Question
hi, i am 18 and i want to join the air force. ive been trying to get in shape for basic training, and i want to know what a simple eating plan for me could be. i tried looking at the cook book things, but theyre too complicated so i just bought slim fast meal replacers. i was eating special k cereal in the morning, a slim fast bar for lunch and like a sandwich for dinner and pretzels for snacks. however, id still be really hungry! what is a simple meal plan for me to help me be energized, full, and still be healthy and loose weight? also, was i not eating enough? oh and im 5'8 and 165 pounds. is this considered over weight? what is the best weight for me?

Answer
Sarah,

Your ideal weight is probably around 145, though I think it depends on your age, body type, etc.

My suggestions for eating can be found here:

I'm a firm believer in moderation, and I think the more fresh fruit and vegetables the better.

Good luck with Basic.
