Pretty much, here are the do nots: fried food, pop, ice cream, and if you have to eat fast food, make it grilled chicken sandwiches (without the sauces) and salads (with light dressing.)

Or you can do the smart thing and stay away from fast food restaurants like McDonald's and Burger King. Go to a sandwich place like Subway or Quizno's. They have a larger variety of foods that are healthy.

Yeah definitely quizno's and subway (just don't do the subway diet I'd really like to beat that guy down) are the best as far as fast food. Just keep the eat clean attitude. No fried food's, no soda's, dessert's etc. and you'll be fine.

You are best off cutting out fast food all together. Pile your sandwiches high with veggies, stay away from any desert type food, little debbie's, etc. I would also replace your sit ups with crunches instead. Figure your BMR with this, and plug it into the HBF on the same page to get a pretty good idea of the number of calories you should be eating:
http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

To lose 1 pound off fat you must create a 3500 calorie deficit, either through burning those calories with exercise, cutting them out of your diet altogether, or both. 3500 calories / 7 days in a week = Cut 500 calories off your number from the HBF to lose 1lb a week, cut 1000 to lose 2lbs a week, etc. It's recommended you don't try to lose more then 1 or 2 pounds a week, or you won't keep it off.

and eat smaller portions so that your stomach (the organ, not the fat layer in front) shrinks down to a more normal size. if ya feel hungry or "need a munchy" drink 2 large glasses of water.

should I eat something for breakfast or not?
What would a whole day of meals look like for me?

[phatphil]

Yes, you should definitely eat breakfast, the easiest way to keep your body satisfied is a small meal every couple hours. Get the total number of calories from the link I gave you above that you need for a day, divide this up between about 6 small meals, with close to the same number of calories in each.

Phil, I'm impressed with your knowledge regarding diet and working out.
