Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | sorry so long, deciding to post for help

Hello everyone, I have decided (with Shell's suggestion) that I will try and start posting my meals here. I just started using fitday and have realized how much it shows where I am lacking and what I need to change. I am hoping that by posting here as well you guys can offer some advice and help me out along the way. I need to get going on an SFS cause last one wasn't suitable so I am trying Prodiem. I would also like to lose some weight, although I don't even know what my exact weight is because it flucuates so much. Here was today as sad as it is, yesturdays was so much better because I didn't work till 1 so I got so much more food in me by afternoon.

Breakfast: Applesauce cup, water
Lunch: Toast with jam, fruit snacks, and 2 oatmeal cookies, water
Snack: RKT, water
Dinner: Tortellini and a small piece of garlic bread
Snacks: Rice pudding, Tried a couple tsps of Rice Dream Frozen Dessert but wasn't too happy with it

, peaches fruit cup

Excercise: I am on my feet 8 hours a day, full time at work, constantly moving.
Gym: 25 mins on Elliptical, 30 circuit training, 20 mins lifting, ab excercises on mat and more water

I am really struggling with trying to get enough food in me,let alone get my breaks when I am at work. So I don't get enough to eat during the day and 5 o'clock hits and I come home and chow down. When I input my food and activities on Fitday I can really see what is going on!
With my work I input that in activities, should I be or does anyone else include this in their count on burnt calories?

Most days I am meeting or under the calories I need to lose weight.

Calorie level to maintain current weight is 2309
Calorie level to lose weight is 1809

Today according to fitday what I ate was 1608
Calories burned was 1195 (678 of that was from putting in 7 hours of standing, walking at work)
518 from gym and working out.
I'm confused? what do I do with this info?
