I'm doing weight watchers but I want to make sure my overall diet is healthy so I'm avoiding processed stuff and added sugar wherever I can.
Specific things I'm concerned about:
Am I eating too much fruit?
Is there enough protein?
Am I getting enough veg?
Breakfasts:
Porridge made with semi-skimmed milk (1 sachet of quaker super grain stuff)
As above but with a banana/ strawberries maybe twice a week
Half a wholewheat bagel, an egg and 1tsp tomato ketchup (reduced sugar version)
Lunch:
Salad. This week it's 25g full fat goats cheese, pomegranate seeds, beetroot, salad leaves, chopped mint and chopped parsley then 40g giant cous cous. I have this with balsamic vinigar and 1/2 tbsp olive oil as dressing.
Last week it was the same dressing but the salad was half an avacado and 1 rasher of bacon.
Dinner:
Roast meat with 2-3 veg, potatoes gravy. Roast pots and parsnips done in the acti-fry.
Chilli and rice (60g dry weight of rice)
Spag Bol (60g dry weight of pasta)
Fish (once a week) usually breadcrumbed white fish (hake, cod, coli etc) with actifry chips and peas or salmon fillet with rice and veg
Stir fry (chicken or prawn) with a packet sauce, usually teriyaki or something and egg noodles
Pork chops, 2 veggies and potato
Same as above but chicken breast
Snacks:
Usually 2 pieces of fruit, so an apple and an orange around lunch time
100cal popcorn (1.2g sugar per portion)
If I have smart points left at the end of the day I'll have a glass of wine, I've also had ben and jerry's icecream (weighed out!) and weighed out some chocolate too.
I'm morbidly obese currently (that's hard to admit) and I*@m* looking to make long term changes.
I've eaten like this for 2.5 weeks so far with no issues and I've currently lost 4lbs.
Is it ok? do I need to add anything? If I eat like this for a year am I going to damage my metabolism or mess up my body in anyway?
