My friend is 40 and complaining she can't lose weight. Yet her diet is as follows (She told me as was looking for advice )

Breakfast- A few squares of chocolate or a low fat breakfast bar with a cup of tea.

Lunch- A few pieces of toast with spread, crisps and a chocolate bar.

Snacks- Usually a bit more chocolate

Dinner- Fish, chips and peas

Evening- more chocolate, another packet of crisps and a snack size cheese

She has irritable bowel syndrome so this explains the lack of fibre.
Just trying to help add in suggestions for her. She is 5'3 and 9 stone but used to be a stone lighter.

I mean like... There is pretty obvious solution...
Swap chocolate and crisps for something actually healthy?

Track calories and she will soon see that her diet is terrible. No wonder she can’t lose weight if she’s having chocolate for breakfast.
