This is what i ate today .....

This is what i ate today during my weight loss regime.

**Break fast: **
Freshly squeezed orange juice + Boiled egg white (110 + approx 40 calories = 150)
**
Mid-day: **
Green Tea with half spoon sugar (approx 30 calories)

Lunch:
1 cup hot & sour soup (approx 100 calories)

**Evening: **
1 apple + 1 guava (50 + 25 = 75 approx)
1 cup tea with 1 table spoon sugar (approx 40 calories)

Total: so far = 150 + 30 + 100 + 75 + 40 = approx 300

Am i on the right track for losing weight? height 5 3, weight 66kg.

Re: This is what i ate today .....

Can you sleep at night with eating so little?

Re: This is what i ate today .....

yes u r on the right track but if u can keep it up...... i plan to be on a liquid diet everyday but then i cant resist food hahahah, i m still eating very healthy though,,, good luck how much r u trying to loose btw.

Re: This is what i ate today .....

u need to eat more calories in ur diet cuz 300 calories for a person whose height is 5"3" is no good u wil gain all the weight bac wen u start eating other foods

Re: This is what i ate today .....

I am guessing that you are not doing any physical exercise. Please re-plan your diet. You will simply become weak and perhaps even ill.

Re: This is what i ate today …

o my GOD so little food u can have 700 calories its totallly okay dont reduce it to so much.:no:

Re: This is what i ate today .....

That's not a diet, it's starvation.

Try having more carbs in there. Maybe some bread for lunch, otherwise you will have no energy.

Have you lost any weight?

Re: This is what i ate today .....

you should aim for at least 800-1200 kcal everyday, like others said you are starving yourself. This is only going to decrease your metabolic rate (metabolism) which means your body will store more fat and burn less (only reason you loose weight is because there is so little to store) and when you start eating your body will continue doing that and the result will be gain back all the weight lost and MORE!
Please eat a healthy diet with exercise (aerobic and strength)

!!!! mannnn....this is not dieting. You must have a balanced diet inclusive of cereals, fibres, vitamins, proteins and little carbs.

This way you'll lose more muscle than fat and after a month or so your skin may become loose, blackness beneath eyes, lips will turn dark brown and hair will start falling...!!

Include atleast 2 rotis and dal in lunch and 1 roti at your evening meal in your mentioned programme. On every second day (alternate day), include a serving of oatmeal / kheer in the breakfast.

best,

Re: This is what i ate today .....

Actually i havent starved myself. I feel full after having this all. The thing is what i am eating has very less calories but fills my tummy enough like the soup, egg and the fruits.

As everyone said i should have some carbs and proteins, i added a roti with salan at dinner time. So approximately 650 calories for yesterday.

The problem is i dont have time for any exercise due to my work demands. I am sitting 12-13 hours of the day, sleeping 8 hours a day. I dont seem to find any time for any exercise. How will i lose weight if i keep sitting, the only way would be to eat as much as i want but less calorie foods like vegetables and fruit. The soup has all veges & fruit i take it direct. One thing that i feel is lacking in it is intake of milk.

Re: This is what i ate today .....

^ You can have milk with cereal.. or some warm milk a little before bedtime.

Total: so far = 130 + 30 + 150 + 170 + 75 + 120 + 30 = approx 710 calories in the day

Re: This is what i ate today .....

Like WIPER said you need to add roti/chawal (carbs) to ur diet, if you dont you will loose muscle mass. Add altleast one slice of toast to each of your meals, this will still be low carb (about 105g) and you wont store it as fat. This will add about 250 calories (according to what my bread nutrition facts are), totalling to about 960cal. You should add some milk or yogurt as well.

Re: This is what i ate today .....

canadiangirl is right daffy duck, you should add cereals into your diet.

Re: This is what i ate today .....

thats not dieting- its starvation! you're destroying your body!

your body needs appx 1200 calories a day to FUNCTION.
