    That's really not enough for anyone to help you with. Loosing weight depends on what you eat as well as the exercise. So it could be enough, then again it might not be. you have to look at the entire picture.

    What do you mean with healthy diet? If you have a calorie deficit, then yes. If you use it as an excuse to eat more (even healthy foods have calories), then probably no.

    Oh i understand well this is my diet on an average day:

    2 weetabix semi skimmed milk

    Sandwich (2 slices wholemeal bread rocket spinach watercress, tuna onion cucumber)

    70g (uncooked weight) brown rice, onion chicken about 40g, chopped tomatoes, peas

    I refrain from snacking between meals: this is quite normal for me...is this high calorie or not? :)

    Just start out filling in everything in your account. If you log all your food and exercise you'll see how much (less) you have to eat.
    Good luck!

    Fill in your food diary and find out how many calories that is. Go from there. Eating healthy is great but lots of people remain obese eating healthy food to excess.
