Hello!
Names chuck. I have a weight issue at the moment and I am looking to lose the weight. About one year and a half ago i was about 260lbs. I started a new job which was very physically demanding and dropped down to 225lbs. Eight months ago i was laid off from that job due to lack of work. I then decided to get my class a cdl license and become an over the road truck driver. Currently i am still truck driving and have gained that weight back. I am limited to exercise... walking is the only thing i can really do easily. I just started trying to diet about 3 days ago with a six meal a day diet and some walking. Im wondering if you may have any suggestions for me on food or exercise that could help me get back down to my goal weight of 225lbs.
Example of one day of meals...
Breakfast- oatmeal and banana
Snack- 250calorie protein bar and a handfull of raw almonds
Lunch- grilled chicken sandwhich on whole wheat bun
Snack- raw vegetables.. mushrooms, celery, carrots
Dinner- something healthy and loe on calories and carbs wherever i stop for the day
I take about a 30 minute walk a day (which you will probably telle to increase a lot)
Age- 28
Height- 6'4''
Current weight- 270lbs
Any suggestions or tips?

as far as a diet goes, try this one out:
Meal 1 - 1 cup oatmeal + 3 whole eggs + 3 egg whites + chopped green pepper/onion (optional) + 1/2 banana
Meal 2 - 25g protein bar + handful of almonds (what you had here is fine)
Meal 3 - 6 oz chicken breast + 1 cup black beans + 1 cup raw veggies + 1tbsp olive oil
Meal 4 - 1 cup raw veggies + 2 oz cheddar cheese
Meal 5 - 1 cup cottage cheese + 1 tbsp peanut butter + 10 almonds + cinnamon to taste
Optional replacement for meal 5:
4 oz of beef, 6 oz of chicken, or 6 oz of fish
1 cup veggies (no starches like potatoes/corn/carrots/etc)
1 tbsp olive oil
