To ask for your help to sort my diet out

[Worthygirl]

Aibu to ask for your help to lose weight.

I exercise a lot but am not losing any weight and I am fairly sure the ‘80% diet, 20% exercise rule applies to me’. I am virtually vegan apart from eating eggs so I think my diet is too carb heavy (and also too crap heavy!)
This is what I have eaten today:

• 30g oats with raisins, cashews, a chopped up apple, oat milk & soya yoghurt
• lentil & tomato soup with half a baguette
• fruit flapjack
• veg chilli with vegan cheese & a slice of bread
• 2 rich tea biscuits

Is this way too carb heavy? I am 45 so finding it harder to lose weight anyway & at the moment 5:2 (which worked before) just makes me feel unwell so trying to eat a balanced diet.

Am I getting it really wrong?

I'm the same age and just about the same height and weight as you and when I worked out my TDEE for maintenance it is 2000 to 2200 for light to moderate activity and it sounds like you at least meet this activity level unless you never move apart from your exercise sessions.

If you're really only eating 1300 calories a day your weight should be going down well so I'm not sure where you're going wrong. Could be the bread and carbs unfortunately as what you've listed as eating looks like hardly anything to me, it's certainly a lot less than I eat and my weight is stable.
