I don't know what to do anymore

Why in the world are you only eating dinner 1 day a week?!?! Are you worried about the time of day you eat - because that's a myth. It doesn't matter what time you eat your food, if you are at a calorie deficit (healthy one) then you will lose weight.

I agree, I do not think you are eating enough at all. You need to eat above your BMR and below your TDEE.

I eat 3 meals a day and sometimes 1-2 snacks a day. I'm eating 1688 calories a day. I'm losing weight. You need to fuel your body properly if you want to lose weight. Your body needs 1200 calories to continue to function properly. If you eat only 1200 and burn say 300 calories a workout then you are only giving your body 900 calories to function. You need to eat those 300 back. It will still be at a deficit.

I will try and track my food on here from now on. But I honestly don't believe I'm not eating enough. Last year I signed up to a program eating 1200 kcal a day and having the support of a nutritionalist. After 9 months, I still haven't lost anything.

Most of the time I'm not hungry, I've got cravings but I'm not hungry. As I said I work away from home, so I can't cook for myself and I don't know how the food has been prepared. Therefore it's hard to guess how many kcal something has. Also when you go to the buffet, I takes a lot of willpower not to eat anything else but veggies. Therefore I don't go for dinner at all. It's different when I'm home. But unfortunately we travel a lot and therefore eat out a lot. But I thought if I get into a good routine will at work, it will help me to keep it up at home. Well, not working so far...

I honestly don't know what it is, I think I still eat too much and exercise too little but there's only so many hours in the day. I'm just at a loss and whenever I do go and see someone, they tell a different story what I should and shouldn't been eating.

I thank you for all your replies!

I don't see how you could eat less. Take the advice you are getting and eat dinner. You are eating less than 1000 cal per day from what it sounds like, and how is that working????

Um, please start eating dinner every day.

Yes, this! You need to make sure you are eating 1100-1300 a day, seriously. I can't remember your height, if you're above 5'2" then at least 1200-1300

I take it you live in Australia? I worked FIFO for 13 years in Western Australia, so I know what you are talking about. I agree its hard to handle the full spread buffets and eating healthy on a mine site, especially when the foods are all heavily oiled & fried with limited fresh options and having no idea whats in the food and limiting what you put on your plate.

I ended up cooking meals at home on my break, freezing them and taking them to work in a cooler bag and storing in my fridge/freezer in my room or in the crib room at site. If you travel heavy normally when going back and forth to work, ask the flight girls to allocate you a larger luggage allowance to compensate. I used to heat my dinner up in the mess every night and eat with everyone, so that I didnt feel like I was being unsocialable.. You would be surprised how many people ended up following my lead. Breakfasts and lunches for the most part I could find something to throw together. I just found that the more I could stay away from bringing a plate up to the buffets, the better off I would be.

Lite n easy could also be an option for you. They are all pre frozen meals, you could get them flown to work as freight on the flights. Then you could almost stay right away from the buffets altogether. Theres no thinking, you just take your bag to work and eat your food throughout the day. Take your dinner to the mess and heat up in the microwave. Easy!

You really need to start eating properly though. Not eating dinner is really bad. Changing your habits even just a little bit, will make you feel better before you know it. Keep positive and try something new. Obviously what you have been doing in the past, isnt working so what have you got to loose?

Start by eating a meal, even a small meal at dinner time!

*sighs* My advice was to pack a lunch, but you have all these reasons why you can't do A or B or C. And if you keep doing the same thing you're doing, you're not going to change.

Figure something else out, find a new solution, but starving yourself or eating salty, greasy food on the daily isn't going to help you either way.

you are starving yourself, and your body is trying desperately to hold onto what it can......according to the BMR calculator someone referenced earlier, your resting energy expenditure is 1494 calories, add in little to no exercise and it's 1792 (takes energy just to live, walk around, etc). add in light exercise (1-3 x/week), it zooms to 2054 calories. Eat more. You're not hungry because you're starving. recalculate your goals, eat more, and I bet you will start seeing results.
