Cutting fat, protien, or carbohydrates (sugar) out of your diet completly is dangerous. Just FYI.

-Serious blood sugar crash I think, I slept for 2 hours at that point-
7:00ish I had a small bowl of chili since that's what my friend wanted for dinner
Between 7 and 10:15 I had to fight myself to not start snacking on food - I ended up munching on some corn flakes.
Eventually at 11 I went and got a chicken caesar pita.

How small is a small bowl of rice crispies? What kind of milk did you use? I would suggest that you have 1.5 cups of food, part rice crispies, and part fat free milk. What kind of cheese and tortilla did you use in your quesadilla? You should get fresh mozzarella, and use yellow corn tortillas. Did you say you're on a diet, and then you're drinking a diet coke? While it obviously doesn't have sugar, it's one of the least healthy things you can put into your body. Aspartame has been proven to be extremly dangerous. Chili can be extremly healthy when you make it yourself, but the canned stuff is usually pretty bad. Natural fats are alright, heavely processed fats should be avoided. A chicken ceasar pita is good, so long as it's real caesar dressing, and it's used sparingly. You shouldn't eat after 2 hours before bed.

If you're going to snack, grab fruit, veggies, or unsalted walnuts.
Being on a diet does not mean going hungry. Don't starve yourself.

EXCELENT. Wanna shoot for two? Maybe make that hour an hour of basketball instead of walking.

Apple = quick energy and apetite supression. Orange = massive viral resistence and all the vitamin C you could ever want. Go down the produce isle and grab whatever catches your eye. If you're anywhere near a Jamba Juice, a juice place with some of the best smoothies in the world, go check it out. If not, I can supply you with several decent recipies that I've been perfecting over the last year or two.
An hour of walking a day might not be enough, just fyi.
