My bmi is 34 ive lost 3stone 5lb in 13 weeks seems loads to me I wanted to lose it slow but all came of me I were eating 6,000 a day before just crap and never really bothered till now. I think I lost so much cause I eat so less it says I should have 2039 - 2621 kcal
To lose 1-2lbs a week that to me sounds to me to me if I have a treat day I put 2lb back on I'm having 1,600 calories a day any points or ideas am i eating enough to lose 2lb a week.

All that comes up to 1,600 calories

OP, you keep posting on here and people have given you advice but your posts are very rambled and confused. You’re losing weight too quickly, which is what you have been told. That doesn’t sound like enough food for someone of your weight and if you starve yourself now, you won’t be able to keep going until you reach a healthy weight.

Unless you’re heaping on the Mayo or eating loads of go ahead biscuits, that typical day isn’t 1600 calories either. More like 1200. You won’t be able to keep it up, especially if you’re also running 4 days a week.

Also, with respect, this is ridiculous. If you’ve managed to get to 18 stone by overeating 6000 calories a day, of course you can eat a little bit more to make sure your body gets adequate nutrition and gets to a healthy weight.

@Leanandmean31 is right about the advice. Have you changed a doctor? You were talking about some pretty questionable advice before.

Are you sure you are not misunderstanding the doctor due to language barrier? I assume from some of the typos (I myself used to do long time ago) English isn't your first language. If you are not 100% sure what the doctor was sying you can take a friend to translate.

Your food came to
Breakfast 120 (if original kellogs) + 45 cal per 100ml milk
Lunch tuna 60 + 30 mayo + veg 100? Probably much less though
Dinner 500?
Snacks orange 70? How many did you have? 2? That's something about 110.

That's way bellow 1600. Way bellow unless you had lots of biscuits. I am on 1500 most days and eat way more than what you listed.

Have you had a dietitian? GP can recommend you and you could get some advice, because you just don't sound healthy.

katey2020 · 22/11/2020 16:20

Do you have to be so rude ino what the Dr said. I only asked for advice my first language were England and live in England. I wont be using this site again

SchrodingersImmigrant · 22/11/2020 16:26

I didn't mean to be rude, nor were any other posters. Your posts are frankly really concerning. If there is something you shouldn't use, it's the doctor who told you to eat 600 calories...

katey2020 · 22/11/2020 16:51

Dr didn't tell me to eat 6,000 that's what I were eating before I got to my worse then I realized I need to stop and re think and eat healthy I eat between 1,500- 1,600 a day now but nhs bmi says I should eat between 2,039 -2,621 calories

Leanandmean31 · 22/11/2020 17:33

I didn’t mean to sound rude, OP but your posting style is very erratic and you don’t seem to be taking advice on board, which is why I mentioned it. If the NHS website tells you to eat in that calorie range, then do just that. I don’t understand what the issue is. It’s a long slog losing that amount of weight and while it might be tempting to cut right back on calories, this is not sustainable in the long term.

In terms of how you can improve your eating:
Breakfast: special K is just empty calories and sugar. Try scrambled eggs with veg, smoked salmon on rye bread or porridge with berries and a few almonds instead.

Lunch: if you’re doing lower carb, have full fat rather than low fat Mayo. Maybe add an egg in as well. If not lower carb (which is probably best if you’re doing a lot of exercise), have some potato, oatcakes or a slice of rye bread.

Dinner: either have more burgers and veg cooked in oil or add some carbs to make the meal more substantial. Try to have some protein - fish, chicken, tofu etc and plenty of veg.

Snacks: go ahead biscuits are full of sugar so try something like hummus with carrot sticks, a handful of nuts or full fat Greek yoghurt with berries.

That sort of diet, combined with regular exercise will keep you satisfied and able to sustain over a lengthy period of time. I don’t know what your goal weight is but if it’s say 11 st then you’re in for quite a long journey so anything faddy is unlikely to work. Also, it needs to be a way of eating that you can continue for life.
