So as it says in the title I just started here because I am trying to my luck again at dieting and exercise. I have had a few set backs due to my extreme sense of taste, which limits the food I eat because there are very few things I can keep down. Also, had a cyst which had to be removed and the surgery used to removed it caused back problems which stopped me from continuing the diet and exercise regiment I had set for myself before hand. Before my regiment was pretty straight forward, but probably not the best but I lost weight fast, I would say I did it for 2 months and lost 62 lbs, which isn't that much I think because bigger people lost weight faster; and cutting all fried foods and coke completely off helps and straight into 5 miles a day of jogging. But I figured I would share this as just a way to vent. I was just hoping to get some suggestions from anyone that is willing to share, so I will post what I am trying to do and please everything is welcome.
I am over 25, weigh somewhere around 390 (big guy), and 6'2.
What I plan on doing is, in the morning:
Try to keep a snack at the office, because most of what I found says that 4-5 small meals a day helps more than 3 big meals:
Lunch will be pretty hard as there isn't many meats I eat:
Another snack:
Dinner is also difficult and before I normally just kept this to whatever I wanted, but much small servings and also incorporated, yes again, apples or grapes. I also have some supplements to help with the main vitamins I won't be getting.
For exercise this time though I will not be jogging as for me it feels like it does more harm than good, and as I said before the lower back surgery I had to have the cyst removed has made it so I have trouble standing for long periods of time, especially if it involves strenuous activity like jogging. I now have a recumbent bike, and I can tell you I wish I had done this sooner it is much better on my knees and especially on my back. Instead of weights I plan on using resistance bands, there are also much easier to carry anywhere and can work extremely well as I used to use them for tennis and soccer.
As I said before, anything is welcome, critiques, tips, changes.....anything. And sorry if this isn't the right place it was hard to choose from.

What I plan on doing is, in the morning:
- 3 scrambled eggs
- 2 pieces of bacon
- something along the lines of either grapes, apples, zucchini, or maybe celery (haven't had it in awhile so need to try some to make sure I can).

Lunch will be pretty hard as there isn't many meats I eat:
- Sliced turkey sandwiches (this is probably the most I can do)
- again mixed fruits or vegetables
- Or I could try salad but I haven't had it in a long while so needs to do some tasting
