My parents are concerned that I do not eat enough. I do seem to be losing around 2 lbs a week but I'm not sure why. I am sure I eat 2000 calories a day.
I have:
Bircher muesli (0% fat natural yogurt, strawberries, 1 cup of whole meal oats, ground almonds, 1 tablespoon peanut and cashew butter)
Lunch: chicken breast sandwich with Philadelphia cream cheese, tomato and lettuce side salad,
potato salad, beetroot, homemade flapjack Made with oats, butter, agave syrup, apricots, raisins and cinnamon.
Snack: fat free natural yogurt, beef slices.
Dinner: wholemeal pasta, extra lean beef burgers (homemade), homemade tomato sauce using herbs and tin of tomatoes.
Dessert: fruit salad and 2 nutri grain cereal bars.
Drinks: tea, coffee, water, 2 skinny lattes. No sugar in my drinks.
To me that seems like a lot of food and I have quite big portions. How can I be losing weight on that?
I walk around 5 miles a day at a brisk pace for exercise.
AIBU to think my parents are being unreasonable to think I need more calories and my weight loss is probably nothing to worry about?
If I lose more I will go to the doctors but in terms of my diet, I think it's absolutely fine.
