Fat as Fooooooooookkk

Post up your height, and what you would eat/drink in an average day.

You need to workout your daily calorie requirement (read the stickies at the top) and base you diet around consuming less than that.

Then you need to figure out exercise, but tbh, it's all about less calories than you need.

Height is 5ft 10

And today i ate

Breakfast:

Rice Krispies with low fat milk

Lunch:

Scrambled Eggs with two rashers on french Baguette with tea.

Dinner:

Lunch Box from Chipper (3 pieces of chicken and chips)

Tea:

Bar of Choc, about 10 biscuits and a cup of tea.


10 cups of tea during the day two and would always have a biscuit or two with them

I'm eating more than i normally do at the moment cause i'm stressed about stuff but that stress will
be finished in like two weeks.

Is that what you regularly eat at the moment?

Do you eat any fruit or veg? Any foods you hate?

What about sugar in your tea?

The only good thing there is the bacon and eggs tbh

Do you cook at all?

Not the regular i'd usually eat a bit more healthy than that. But i'm stressed at the minute and
find that makes me eat more and uncontrollably.


Don't take sugar in the tea or on the Rice Krispies. (Do in coffee but dont drink much coffee)


I still live at home and family are all fat too so thats where the encouragement is. A lot of Chipper and
take away knocking around some nights and its hard to refuse it when its put in front of you.

I love fruit, usually cut up a pineapple and melon and keep it in the fridge and have some
for breakfast but i haven't had time in the last few weeks.

I will cook whatever you tell me to sort this problem. If it involves eating nothing but soup for the next
six months to get things back in check i'll do it. But i need help

Ok I'm not the best person on here to advise you, but I can help you make a start.

In the nutrition subforum here, there is a sticky thread about nutrition 101, here's a link. Read through at least the first few pages, and work out how many calories you need on a daily basis, then work out a food plan so that you start eating less than you need and start on weight loss.

Rice krispies or fruit on their own for breakfast are not great. Would you consider something like bacon and eggs at breakfast or porridge, or boiled eggs?

You need to start eating lots more vegetables, especially green leafy veg, but include pretty much all veg, peppers, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, brocolli, rocket, spinach

Could you have e.g. a premade salad at lunch that you make the night before? I used have a chicken and cheese salad with rocket, peppers, carrot, red onion, spinach and sweet potato at lunch. Or soup that you could make up at home during the weekend and keep in the fridge during the week?

For dinner you need to have protein (meat/fish) and veg, LOTS of veg, should be half the plate

If you must have the tea, find some alternative to the biscuits Or perhaps start drinking water.

You could have some dried fruit or nuts as snacks during the day?

That's very basic advice tbh, more on here will be able to give you more info

And also don't assume low fat is good fat, sugar replacements are used a lot in low fat products. Fat is good for us, we need it as part of our diet, and it doesn't pack on the pounds, too much bad food does
