As far as diet goes, it's hard to plan for someone because you don't know what foods they like (or food allergies!). You can probably go to the Food Pyramid website or google it or use some search engine and type, "how many calories should I get" I used this one website (below link) and to lose one pound a week, you can eat 1,546 calories a day.
But if you would like an example, this is what I'm doing... at the moment. My plan changes every week (sometimes every couple days lol). My exercise routine and the things I eat change depending if I am getting bored with it.
Breakfast options: (anywhere from 6 am to 7 am)
*granola bar
*dry cereal
***exercise: yoga for 15 minutes (like 6:15 or 7:15...whenvever I get up)
Lunch options: (changes; it's been a later lunch like 3 ish; I'm in Tennesse on vacation and been pretty busy)
*veggie burger or
*soup and a slice of bread or
*salad or
*pasta or
* pbj (my fav) with either an apple (I like apple juice or apple sauce better) or banana
***exercise: yoga for 15 minutes at around 4 pm ish
Snack options (around 4:30-5:30):
*apple (don't really like apples, so I just have juice or apple sauce) or
*grapes (once again, I just like grape juice or
* peas or
* something! something small and healthy of course!
Dinner options (time changes, but I don't like to eat too late):
* whatever there is for dinner or
* veggie burger or
* soup or
* lasagna or
* quiche.....just find something healthy! :)
***exercise: another 15 minutes of yoga at 9 pm
*** and somewhere in the day I like to run (or walk) which takes me anywhere from 10-15 minutes. No running on Saturdays or Sundays.

Yoga is a life-science; rather than just an exercise, yoga is a way of life. The true practitioners of yoga will live and breathe in yogic methods every waking – and even sleeping – moment of their lives. And it is true that yoga prolongs lives only when it is done in the right way. That is the reason simply understanding the various steps of yoga and trying to contort your body in an apparent imitation of what you see is not enough. Yoga is not just about putting your legs on top of your head and your shoulder between your legs – it is more about spiritual ascension and letting the mind relax. This happens only when each aspect of yoga is conducted perfectly – from the correct way of breathing during the asana to the clothes you wear when practicing yoga.Practice of yoga entails doing various types of body positions, ranging from subtle poses to more complicated ones. That's why it is necessary to consider the kind of clothing to wear during yoga practice so that you can get the most out of it. The main thing to consider is comfort.

Cotton blended with hemp is also a very good choice. It is also important that yoga clothes must not be in too bright colors. That can distract from the meditative approach of the science. Go for whites and pastel colors, at least for the tops. Short and long clothes do not matter. Most people are quite comfortable practicing yoga in their shorts, but there is no harm if long pants are worn, provided that they do not obstruct the movements of the body. Consider wearing shorts. This way, you can see if you knees ankles and feet are properly aligned when performing yoga. Men might wear T-shirts with loose fitting necks and short sleeves. Another option is the tank tops. It is important that the tops are not too loose or they will make movement difficult. These can be ideally complimented with shorts or loose pants held by a drawstring. Women have a large option of yoga wear, from bras to tank tops to tees. They can compliment them with shorts, capris, drawstring pants or even skirts if they are comfortable with them.How you look in your clothes is also important. Knowing that you look good in your clothes will make you feel more positive about yourself, and a positive outlook can help you succeed in Yoga. Now it is not a big deal, as you can go online shopping to find out which suits you more.
