Am I eating enough?
I have been losing weight quite quickly since I gave birth over 5 months ago (not breastfeeding). I am eating pretty much what I used to eat before having a baby and maintained my weight. Now, the same diet means the weight seems to be dropping off me. I don’t actually want to lose anymore but struggling to understand why this is happening. I am very tall (5’11) and currently weigh 58kg. Pre pregnancy, i probably weighed around 61kg. I haven’t done any exercise post baby but generally walk an hour or so per day, maybe sometimes more. I used to do more than this though never excessive exercise.
Tell me if I am eating an unreasonably small amount and unable to see it!
Breakfast - Greek yog, raspberries, mix of all bran and granola (handfull of each) - have this most days
Lunch - slice of sourdough, avocado on top, salad with feta and greens (other days - soup or scrambled eggs)
Snacks - an apple per day, plus usually a biscuit or slice of cake, 2 coffees with almond milk
Dinner - often pasta, often salmon, veg and rice, try to eat red meat 3 x per week as iron is low. Usually simple meals with a protein, veg, carb.
After dinner - glass of red and dark choc
I am a creature of habit and rarely deviate from this unless we eat out.
