Question
I'm asking you this question because you said you can research and I am not very computer literate. I have been suffering from bulemia for about 2 years and I am trying to break the cycle. I did go to a residential treatment center about a year ago and there I developed a meal plan it is as follows,
Breakfast: 1-2 oz protien, 2-3 grains, 1-2 other, 1 fruit
snack: about 200 cal
lunch: 2-3 0z protien, 2-3 grains, 1-2 other, 1 fruit, 1-2 veggies
snack:about 200cal
dinner: 2-3oz protien, 2-3 grains, 1-2 other, 1 fruit/dessert, 1-2 veggies
snack:100-200 cal
is there an easy way for me to come up with an actual menu? It's too difficult to calculate each meal when my schedule is to tight! thank you so much
This is too easy! My web site outlines a meal plan that's pretty much in keeping with this.

Your protein should be measured according to your body weight and grams of protein. About 9 grams per 20 lbs (or 1 gram per kg). There is more about this here: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/protein.html

Expertise
I have lived it and survived it. I know every excuse, reason, thought, feeling and rationalization - and I'm going to be very honest in my advice.
Experience
I've lost (& gained)HUNDREDS of lbs over a lifetime, more than 30 years of "professional dieting". Presently a counselor for sufferers of eating disorders, a nutritional advisor and spiritual counselor (Reverend,doctor); I've been on every diet there is and used the most bizarre weight loss products you can imagine. I am FORMERLY obese, anorexic (several times), bulimic MOST of the time - and maintaining size 4, with no gimmicks, devices, programs, pills or supplements.
I currently investigate the diet industry on behalf of consumers who do not need to be ripped off while struggling to be healthy. I WILL expose them all and I WON'T be intimidated, bullied or bought. My advice is for cost-free options. I have nothing whatsoever to gain from my recommendation(s). I make no money from my website and I sell, promote, endorse NO diet/health products, programs or devices. You'll also never see me on the receiving end of a hidden camera report...but you can be assured, I won't quit until I've exposed those who are out to take advantage of you.
It's a matter of choices. We need to stop complicating things.
