    There is so much cholesterol in eggs! That is clogging your arteries and asking for high blood pressure!

    My answer to everything is go vegan. You can't go wrong with fresh or frozen fruit and veggies. No oils, refined carbs, agave, and fake foods such as vegan cheese or meats.
    80/10/10, raw till 4, you're good to go.
    So much incorrect here that I laughed so hard I peed a little.

    Just a little.

    Exactly. I think I peed a little as well. Eggs and oils are not the cause of high blood pressure. Also, trying to force your vegan views on someone else who didn't ask about the vegan lifestyle is seemingly rude. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the vegan lifestyle more about morality than healthy choices? At least that's what 90% of the vegans I know tell me. Fats are not the enemy. Meat isn't the enemy. Cheese isn't the enemy. Eggs and oils certainly aren't the enemy.

    I thought being a vegan gave some sort of special powers, everyone I know who is vegan apparently is closer to sainthood or the truth of life.

    breakfast. 1/3 cup porridge with blueberries and no fat yoghurt
    lunch, turkey, spinach and lettuce sandwich on helgas low carb bread and a banana
    snack...blueberries and yoghurt
    dinner...2 boiled eggs with salad.

    is this ok? what should I change if anything
    and I also workout about 4 days a week (les mills classes, swimming etc)
    Thanks

    Please eat more, it doesn't really matter what. You should be eating 1200 plus probably some exercise calories.

    It's unnecessarily low in calories. You won't feel fine for long if you continue to eat that little.

    You meals seem rather small so if you do smaller meals as your main meals, you should have decent sized snacks as well. You can do those small meals, but what you eat in between should be substantial with protein and fiber.

    When you say salad, do you just mean lettuce? So lettuce with eggs and I assume dressing? I LOVE salads (for taste - I get very annoyed when people tell me there's too much "stuff" in my lettuce). On my salads, I have things like: cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, brocolli, mushrooms, variety of beans, corn, oranges, avocado, egg, olives, etc. with some form of protein (usually seafood). Try not to just leave salads empty because otherwise, you're just eatting lettuce and dressing.

    It is very hard to judge if the meals listed are ok because the caloric values aren't shown.
    Perhaps you can open your diary so we can see an overall log for the past few days?
    Also, are you weighing your foods and measuring your liquids? Basing the calories on what the package shows is not accurate...

    too little calories... especially if you are exercising as well.

    Your body is going to do the opposite of what you want it to do... your body will go into starvation mode and hold on to everything that you eat...

    You need to eat your calorie goal in order to get your metabolism started. Some weeks when I eat the exercise calories (within range) I earned I have lost more weight in weeks I excluded exercise calories!

    No it won't. Starvation mode does not exist.
    Metabolism is what it is. It won't stall.
    They wont be able to maintain the habits they are using now, and will gain weight back + more once they start to eat normally... but the body won't hold weight.

    I've got 6 hens I eat eggs virtually everyday or cook with them. The only
    Thing wrong with eggs is how chickens are
    Mistreated in commercial factory's. eggs are
    Meant to nourish a baby chick for a few months.

    Haha! I see what you did there. ;)
    Most of the vegans I know are pretty humble about life. They understand that not everyone should be vegan unless they understand the decision behind it. By the way, by morality I mean having personal moral oppositions to the way certain foods are created.

    This is not enough food.. you need to eat more. Increase the quantities, add more dense foods, foods you like to eat. Make sure you are enjoying your meals.

    If you say your target is 1200, and you are eating only around 850 as you stated, I am not sure what kind of advice you are looking for here.

    Ehhh. No.

    Eat meat, cheese, dairy, chocolate, ice cream, hell... ANYTHING you want as long as it fits your calories of the day.

    @MagicalWaifu spare the advices when your own profile says that what you look for is: "Bones, a thigh gap, and happiness"

    Helen is right. The blind shouldn't be leading the blind across a busy highway.



    OP... more food. Like others have said add some nuts for fat, add some beans in there for fiber and protein. Carrots and sweet potatoes are two of my favorites.
