What do you eat in a day?

[UnlimitedCake]

5 foot 4 and I weigh 10 stone. I want to ideally get down to 9 stone as that is where I am most comfortable. I am in my mid 40s and aware that if I go too thin my face will suffer. My BMI is in the heathy range and I am a size 12 on the bottom and 10 on top.

What I have eaten today -

Breakfast - Two pieces of Wholemeal toast with one banana and butter

lunch - one tin of tuna with cucumber, tomatoes, one boiled egg, a few grapes and a spoon of hummus

A treat - 4 celebration chocolates

For tea I will have a similar salad with lettuce, tuna, cheese, tomatoes and hummus.

I bought some slimfast shakes but they are rank 🙈

Yesterday

B - 2 slices of buttered wholemeal toast
L - 2 egg omelette, satsuma and quavers
D - pasta bolognese with mascarpone stirred through, broccoli on the side

Today

B - porridge with berries and cinnamon
L - will be 2 x boiled eggs with 2 x wholemeal toast and a satsuma
D - cheese and beans jacket potato with coleslaw and side salad

No snacks or treats 😭

I am 11 st 2, 5’5 and a 12-14, more towards a 14. I have been on 1500 cals a day for a fortnight. I get married in June and would like to be my ideal size weight which for me is a size 12 and around 10.5 stone.

are you not starving??
It seems quite carb heavy and needs more protein and a lot more veg as you're probably not even hitting you 5 a day.

I'd say you're drinking too much water, new research suggests we don't need that much, especially if you're not heavily exercising . There is a fad at the moment for huge water bottles with gradients on them. Too much fluid can upset electrolytes. X

So far today

Tea, yogurt, walnuts, dates and a kiwi

Later will be pot roast chicken and veg

No doubt at some point I'll have some toast with butter and a bowl of cornflakes if I get peckish. This will probably be my lunch actually as nothing planned

Oops I tell a lie I did have a random small bowl of left over goulash with a bit of rice because I woke up really early feeling hungry and wanted to eat some filling food.

If you clench your fist that's the portion I had due the random timing

Every other day or so at the moment in the evening I have one or two of red Lindt Lindor Truffles.

Yesterday I had

Coffee, tea, yogurt, nuts, dates

Packet of kettle sweet chilli crisps

Goulash and rice

Cornflakes

Lindt chocolate

During the week I fast for most of the day and eat between about 5-6pm. At the weekend I eat between 1-6pm (so I can get an empire biscuit and BLT from my current favourite cafe while walking the dog).

Yesterday I had two pieces of toast with peanut butter at 5:30ish, then a MASSIVE bowl of tofu and bean chilli with salad (mostly lettuce and tomatoes), almost a whole avocado, corn chips, grated cheese and yogurt (I'd run out of sour cream). Other than that, just black coffee and herbal tea.

I'm 5' 7" and weigh 66 kgs

Breakfast - Vanilla skyr with blueberries, strawberries, mixed seeds, drizzle honey.

Lunch - Beetroot salad with red pepper, cucumber, tuna mayo, hard boiled egg, balsamic vinegar

Dinner - will be homemade butternut squash & carrot soup with some sour cream & seeds, maybe a slice of toasted sourdough and some cheese. Chunk of dark chocolate.

Snack - cheese scone

Drinks - 2 litres water, loads of tea with milk, 1 diet coke

I exercise daily, average 15k steps which I get in cardio classes &/or walking. I try to eat lots of protein to support all the exercise I do, and find I feel good with limited carbs / upf but I am not too strict and do sometimes eat quite a lot of junk! I try not to eat more than around 2100 cals a day. I rarely drink alcohol. I've maintained this weight for 6 months and feel strong, toned and healthy. I'm the fittest I've ever been, in my mid 40s. Hope I can keep it up!
