dinner tuna with fat free mayo(or chix breast) on whole wheat, bowl of

First step - you need to quantify what you eat - calories, carbs, fats,
protein
see
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

then you would have a baseline - you would know if your are having adequate
protein. we would go from there

how much protein do you eat/swallow? I have a mouthful you can have.

Based on what you've said, I'd add some fat to your diet. Replace the
fat-free mayo with the real thing or at least a low-fat version, have
some red meat or fish, take a healthy oils supplement. Fat in your diet
does not necessarily equal fat around your middle.

Know that if you're eating at maintenance, you'll need to cut about 500
calories per day to drop some weight, but first giving a more balanced
diet a try.

Just my opinion.

Thanks. I have always had some aversion to having much fat intake. I
will look into it.
