    So I like to consider my diet has been fairly healthly of late but a friend of mine who works our rather a lot told me I was eating too much fruit

    This is my average day. I measure of my meals for interest reasons.

    Breakfast (9am)
    Melon Melody + Rubex Multivitamin
    Watermelon: 100g
    Galia Melon: 80g
    Honeydrew Melon: 310g
    Wheat Grem: 30g
    Cal: 200 Calories.
    Lunch 1 (12 Noon)

    Fruit Salad
    Golden Delicious Apple: 165g
    Nashi Pear: 165g
    Strawberry: 100g
    Fresh Lemon Juice: 5g

    Cal: 252 Calories.
    Lunch 2 (3pm)
    Salad

    Dinner is a bit random atm cause but its generally healthy, I try not eat rice, pasta, bread & potato at all (About 800 Calories). Apart from the fact that I have a calorie restrict diet is this a good diet ???

    Way too much fruit! Why are you eating fruit for two meals?

    Because I find Melon a refreshing breakfast in the morning. That or Fruit & Fibre is my breakfast with super milk.

    Just to cover the melon stuff, I quater the three melons, then half the quarters & thats what goes in most the time.

    I have a apple & pear and 3 strawberries for lunch, I cant see how thats excessive ?

    I eat fruit because I find it refresh and gives me a boost when I am studying plus I figured it was better than a bottle of coke, hot chicken fillet roll & a bag of tayto :D.

    As a matter of interest give me some ideas for my second lunch please.

    Why are you eating less than a 900 calories a day?? You are literally starving yourself!

    Nothing wrong with fruit but you are eating to the exclusion of healthy protein and fats.

    You are eating one tiny meal and two tiny snacks, this is something you will either fall off of in less than a week or keep on with it in which case would qualify as a disordered eater.

    How much are you trying to lose, what's your height and weight?

    No no, I eat a dinner as well dont worry about that. Reason I havnt posted my dinners is because Im trying to figure out what things I need in my diet to have a good balance.

    Any views on this would be great btw. I'm figuring some chopped up Almonds, Hazalnuts & walnuts would be a good source of natural fats on top of my fruit salads, plus that would bring the calorie content up to about 500ish which is a aim. What yah think ?

    eat porridge or museli every morning , have 5 small meals a day with reasonably healthy ingredients and do some light excercise and u'll never have to worry about tying your shoe laces again
