Hey Everyone,

I just logged my food for today and I would love to know what you think of it.

Thank you.

therealangd

Nope. I don't see anything either.

did u put that up just to have a go at people? Sorry if ur not, but since this is ur first post, and u have only one day of foods that add up to ~500 kcal, it just seems a bit like a trolling post.

I think whoever has that profile filled in tomorrows food diary instead of todays, so u have to click forward. But im pretty sure this is just a drama thread.

Its okay

She's got it on Tuesdays. Must be UK or some such.

Anyway, that's a great diary -
if you're anorexic.

Hopefully, this is out of the ordinary for you and I also go through spurts where my caloric intake is too low and you're just hitting a low cycle as well. I'm not a huge proponent of "starvation mode" so I actually looked at what you ate vs. just the calories and a glass of carrot juice isn't dinner.

I'd really like to suggest that you eat substantially more, especially if you're active.

If you're going to run at 1200 kcals per day, try a 500/400/300 rule. Have 500 kcals for breakfast, 400 for lunch and 300 for dinner.

you are definitely not eating enough...and if that pic is of you on your profile you are already skinny! There's no reason for you to be eating that few of calories...even if you hate exercise, you will be better off eating more and adding in some exercise.

You can eat your calorie goal and still lose weight. Eating only 500 calories will make you sick.

musicgirl88

whoops on the triple post, but gives me a chance to say that it scares me that you said today was a good day for you. If you honestly think all you need is 400 calories, you are on your way to an eating disorder.

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT eat 500 calories per day! yes you will lose weight, but you will also cause long-term damage to your body and make it soooo much easier to gain weight.

Must be in a different time zone. Still Monday here. Anyways, your Tuesday is completed and that's a pretty strict calorie intake. Not sure what your daily calorie intake used to be but, with just 500 calories a day your body could go into starvation mode.

melaniecheeks

Agreed, that's not nearly enough food.

The bacon and egg breakfast is pretty good, but I'd have a bit more than just fruit for lunch - maybe some cheese and crackers along with it, or a yoghurt?

Carrot juice for dinner - well, that's a starter. Then add in some lean grilled meat and a side salad.

And have a handful of nuts mid afternoon.

1. Is that you in the pic? If so you don't need to lose weight. Perhaps you want to build muscle, but getting thinner should not be your goal 2. That is not enough food. You shouldn't eat less than 800 kcal and that's not even advisable. Ideally you should eat between 1000 and 1200 kcal TO LOSE WEIGHT. Not to build muscle or even maintain. If you are a runner then you should be taking in even more.

CaptainGordo

Certainly, you expected everyone to tell you that you're not eating enough... right?

DesertSunsetRain

You will lose weight eating 1200 calories a day. Whatever MFP has your calorie goal set at, is what you can eat every day sitting on the couch doing nothing and still lose weight.

Please eat more.

kimmie185

You have to do some activity if you expect to lose weight. It's just how it is. Activity is also healthy for your heart, body, and mind. Depriving your body of much needed nutrients will end up biting you in the butt later and can lead to serious health issues.
I do 1000-1200 a day and try to never go below 900.

- Your calories are not high enough. Take care of your body and give it the fuel it needs to go through the day.
- There is not enough protien in your diet. Protien promotes healing and weight loss. Aim for a high protien, low fat, low carb diet, I've seen lots of healthy success with this. I aim for at least 60 grams of protien a day and when I meet the goal, my body feels fantastic! Good protien sources are turkey, chicken, lean meats, beans, and cheese.
-You did good on the egg in the morning, they are a great protien source and gets your body moving! Bacon you can substitute for Canadian or Turkey for a high protien, low fat meal.
- Grapes are good for vitamins, but not a good fuel source. Add a protien.
- Drinking your calories is not a good idea, especially on carrot juice .... Could have eaten a good meal for 180 calories and gotten better nutrients.

Don't starve yourself, it's not worth it I promise.

Anyone can do this for one day. Let's wait until she has a week or two filled out and review.

You are not anywhere near eating the amount that you should be. just under eating will hurt more than help. you should up your protein intake and eat simple sugars like fruits and veggies before working out. you will get a natural energy boost and the protein in your diet will repair your muscle. you will increase your gains exponentially. cardio is key. i have found that 100 meter sprints in sets cut fat faster than distance running (dissertation by my college professor). i like to do 2x100m 4x50m 1x200 with full recovery (1 lap) in between each sprint done

How tall are you?
If you are 60kg there is a really good chance your BMI is already in the healthy range and that if you lose any more you will be unhealthy.
I think you need to a lot of research to understand what is a healthy lifestyle. There is a lot of crap on these forums, and a lot of good advice as well. But if you are completely new to understanding what is healthy you may not be able to tell the difference between the 2. So i'd recommend reading a book and stay away from anything like Akins, south beach diet etc. Perhaps something like the CSIRO diet if you are in Australia.
Alternatively go get a checkup at the doctors or see a nutritionist and ask them specifically to discuss with you what is a healthy diet and get them to weight you and measure you for fat %.
I suspect they will tell you that you are already at a healthy weight. you may benefit from more exercise though to tone up. More muscle improves your metabolism.

Just think of this - if you starve yourself now trying to loose weight, you can really screw up your metabolism for later. The minute you eat something bad (and you will, as your body won't be getting enough nutrients so will eventually create a uncontrollable urge to binge) and then you'll eventually put back on whatever you might have lost, and possibly more as your body will think it is in some kind of famine and needs to bulk you up for security.

In your photo you look beautiful. Don't ruin your health.

Take care.

Funny - your post and food are almost exactly the same as another newbie "look at me" troll from last week.
*rolls eyes*

Oh by the way you appear to have 40 kg as your goal weight.
If this is, please go to a doctor. You will hurt yourself.
Skinny isn't worth ruining your life for.

MrsCon40

The big green number at the bottom says you're 731 calories short of your goal.

You need to eat 731 more calories.

If a 1,000 calorie a day deficit is good, a 2,000 calorie a day deficit is NOT twice as good. Actually, it's twice as bad. Your body will rightfully assume you're starving it and it will hang on to every calorie you consume like it'll be the last.

Eat more.
