For example you could have an omelette with some low fat cheese and veggies and whole grain toast for breakfast, a turkey or chicken sandwich with whole grain bread and some veggies for lunch, and a chicken and veggie dinner, like you said. Try to work different food groups into meals. I used to do the eat once a day and snack thing too, and I couldn't lose weight doing it. When I switched to three meals a day, it helped because I snacked on junk food less and when I did sit down to eat, I didn't eat as much. Anyway, sorry I couldn't help about the exercise! Good luck!
