Is this is a decent diet or am I still snacking too much?

[maveta]

I want to lose approx 7-10lbs of baby weight (10 ideally but I´d be happy with 7) in about 6 weeks - 2 months. I´m still breastfeeding and I like my food so I´m not wanting to do anything too drastic but I DO want the weight to come off. I can´t afford to buy more clothes, I just want to fit in the ones I´ve got! I´ve been pondering my food intake and while I don´t want to cut calories too much because of feeding (and because I NEED TO EAT! lol) I am trying to cut out the rubbish. I´m planning on going for a 30min jog 3 times a week (only just started this week so only gone once so far!). Today looks like this:

8am Breakfast - Small bowl choc muesli and very little milk. Milky coffee.
11am Mid morning - orange juice zapped up with some frozen fruit (red berries/peach etc)
2.30pm Lunch - grilled meat and salad or veggie stir fry and a bit of rice or similar. Low fat yoghurt for dessert.
4pm After siesta - decaf tea and mini muffin
6pm 2 slices of cheese and a quely (small hard savoury biscuit-thing)
9pm Chicken noodle soup or raw veggies with houmous and a couple of slices of cheese/ham maybe some salad if I can be bothered etc
Maaaaaybe a sugar free jelly portion for dessert.

Now I really really like my sweet stuff and breakfast is the only thing I won´t change. I´ve already cut down from a big bowl to a 40g portion and have cut out a lot of the junk snacking I was doing throughout the day. Does this look like something approximating a healthy diet or am I still eating far too many calories? Does anyone know?? Any pointers or advice appreciated! I can´t eat dinner earlier because that´s when dh gets in and it´s really important that we eat together (same goes for lunch).

WHy not try peeling and eating an orange at 11.00 it takes more calories for your body to break it down.

instead of sliced cheeses try a mini babybell light only 46 cals afternoon siesta try a wholemeal scone or a handfull of nuts instead of mini muffin try some nuts with morning snack too

okay, thanks for the suggestions, seems like I must be more or less on the right track then.. well, I guess we´ll see when I weigh myself! lol. cheers.

Instead of the mini muffin at 4pm and the cheese at 6pm,

• Have a bigger, healthier snack about 4pm- wholemeal pitta with reduced fat houmous and loads of raw veg sticks? Or wholemeal toast w/ houmous / honey & sliced banana / reduced fat peanut butter? It might keep you going longer -

• Then a proper dinner at about 7pm, and nothing later in the evening (when your body works harder to digest food)

loveangel, that´s a good idea, might do that then and have one snack instead of two late afternoon, will give it a try.
