Default i eat salad everyday for lunch and im not losing weight

decent sized salad, just basic salad mix from costco, no meat. about 3 tablespoons of low fat dressing @ ~45 calories a tablespoon. estimating no more than 4-500 calories total for lunch

dinner is random and can't be more than 1000 calories

so 1500 calories a day and i see no results, i should see a pound loss every two weeks?

drinking lots of water?

foods high in salt will make you retain ... start drinking 8 cups a day and you'll see the weight fall off.

You are only eating twice a day and 1500 calories? Nope not gonna work your body is storing every bit of what it is going to need until the next feeding which is obviously some time away.
