Trying to lose some weight… been trying to be good but not sure and never know how to count calories etc.

Today I had:

breakfast/lunch:

  • 2 oat coffees in the morning
  • Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey
  • an apple and about 5-6 strawberries
  • 1 cereal bar 78kcal one

dinner:

  • 1 glass of rose
  • goat cheese about a third so ~50g
  • mixed leaf salad
  • 4-6 plum tomatoes
  • walnuts
  • dressing (bit of drizzle)
pudding:
  • 1x strawberry Actimel
  • 30-35g dark chocolate

any thoughts? TIA

That would feed me for at least a week but I'd add a massive salad to it.

Where are the actual meals?

It doesn't sound like a huge amount of food, tbh, although it does sound nice with strawberries, wine, cheese and chocolate! Could you sustain that level of eating every day?

It seems quite a lot of UPF which won't help.

That’s seems like a lot of sugar and hardly any real food

TennisLady · 01/05/2024 22:46

I’d be starving if I had that for dinner.

bloodyplumbing · 01/05/2024 22:44

I don't think that sounds like enough food

Id recommend using an app to track. That doesn't sound like a sustainable amount of food food for most people though - ok for one day but not as an ongoing lifestyle change, which is what you need to lose weight and maintain the weight loss.

You need to be calorie counting. It's the only way I've ever been able to lose weight, it's just not possible to guess. There are apps you can download.

Download nutricheck there's a 7 day free trial I've had it two weeks and lost nearly 10lbs calorie counting and 30 min walk 3-4 times a week
