Prob stepping out of the spirit of the thread…can I ask…

Some of you seem to eat so little, or skip lunch, or dinner..how do you do it?! I’m now thinking my sensible eating days aren’t even close to where I need to be to be slim again! 😞

I promised I wouldn't mention weight/ size etc but I've put on 4kgs in a week.

I'm kind of horrified. Hoping it's mainly water and I will try and be sensible tomorrow.

Today went to a Pakistani/Punjabi restaurant for late lunch, so 10 of us shared...
Starters-
Chicken tikka
Sheek kebab
Lamb chops
Paneer
Garlic naan

Mains-
Dry meat (lamb) curry
Keema (minced lamb curry with potatoes)
lamb biryani
Tarka daal
Tinder curry (pumpkin)
Roti

4 glasses white wine

Then had a cold slice of mushroom pizza about half an hour ago.

Yeah, diet starts tomorrow. Haha.

Yesterday I had
Porridge for breakfast.
Homemade sweet potato and parsnip curried soup with 4 slices of baguette.
Sainsburys chocolate chip shortbread cookie.
Roast chicken dinner. 2 glasses of white wine
Sticky toffee pudding with blueberries and whipped cream.

Breakfast today is fresh bread and plum jam and some raisins
Lunch will be the black bean soup with hard boiled egg and an apple, probably bread with it
Dinner is hazelnut roast, carrots, peas and jacket potato.

Yesterday:

Homemade smoothie (banana, 1 date, almond butter, 1 tsp raw cacao powder, skimmed milk, ice)
Chicken and avacado sandwich seeded bread, cucumber and tomatoes
Frozen pineapple
Homemade red lentil, pepper, tomato, onion, carrot and garlic soup. 1 slice seeded bread
A few peanuts

3 coffees with skimmed milk

Wouldn’t normally have bread x 2 in a day, but that’s what we had!

Breakfast this morning was soya yogurt with granola and a drizzle of honey

lunch is leftovers from yesterday so I have pork, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, mash potatoes, carrots and peas

lasagne with veg for tea

going to try and be healthier so aiming for snacks through the day to be an apple, pear or babybel if I get hungry between meals

I'm obese and need to lose about four stones so I'm doing a lot of fasting and low carbing as that's what works for me. I just can't get away with any other pattern of eating. When I was slim I was only eating one meal a day and perhaps an apple for lunch. It sounds bad, but I'm naturally fat and need to work at it in order to stay slim. I don't eat until around 2pm and then nothing after 6pm. Once you're used to it the hunger goes away as long as you avoid most carbs - bread, biscuits, pasta, cake, cereals etc. Salad fills you up and keeps your stomach happy. Protein curbs your appetite. Healthy fats do as well.

People need way fewer calories than they think they do, especially if they're not that active, which I'm not at the moment.

Thank you, @brytersky , you make perfect sense and have given me food for thought (Mike drop!)

I now possibly have the answer to why it just keeps piling on, I’ve been a 3 meal a day-er as long as I can remember (not when I was young and very thin!). I’ve also noticed the very low incidence of alcohol.

Im just getting over Covid so hoping I can capitalise on the tummy shrinkage and use this thread as inspiration

just a crumpet so far today but I couldn't sleep last night so had two helpings of chicken biryani... one at 3am and one at 6am....

oh well... off to give advice on the diet thread about losing weight

@DontLeanOnTheKeyboard I know what you mean. I promised not to bring up my own worries about weight/ size and did just that.

It's just not worth comparing yourself to others when there's so much else going on. Some people will be very active, some obese and on a weight loss plan. Some have all sorts going on, we don't know or need to here.

If you wish to lose weight then tracking calories, to see how much you are eating, then you can meaningfully reduce. I'd say cutting down carbs is a good way, but it's for another thread. Keep posting your meals and everyone is different. : )

Breakfast - a bagel with cream cheese
lunch - mushroom soup with croutons
snacks- banana and niknaks
dinner - peri peri chicken skewer and rice/quinoa mix with roasted peppers and red onions
4 coffees and a couple litres water

B: Bowl of Kellogg's Raisin Wheats with skimmed milk
L:Chicken sandwich, Quavers, low fat toffee yoghurt
D: going to have a Tesco ready meal chicken in mushroom sauce and add extra veg
Will probably finish with a bowl of lidl amaretto ice cream

I need to add some crystallised lemon and a little Kinder chocolate thingy.
And I'm doing roast potatoes not jacket, because why the hell not.

Post gym breakfast of grated apple, 0% fat greek yoghurt, protein powder, oats.
Lunch of vegetable stir fried rice with some salad and half a boiled egg.
One Nice biscuit.

Breakfast 11am - skyr, mixed seeds, honey, spoon peanut butter, mixed berries, cup of tea x2

Lunch 2.30pm - leftover tomato/mozzarella pasta bake

Pre gym classes snack this evening - 5 x dates, 2 squares dark chocolate, cup of tea

Dinner will be jacket potato, tuna mayo, rocket, celery. And a large glass white wine.

Lots of water throughout day.

I think I eat a lot compared to some, but I exercise 1-2 hours every day. I average 2000 calories a day but am in a deficit.
