Is this a healthy diet?

Breakfast looks okay, but you could include some protein to boost it. Lunch looks very light on, why are you having another breakfast for lunch? Look at having something more substantial.

That's a lot of chicken or fish you are having at dinner to make up to 700 or 1000 cals...In fact I doubt you would want to eat that much fish or chicken in one sitting.

I wouldn't say its balanced at all..one one serve of dairy, very little fruit and veg and by the looks very little fat.

Suggestions: Include some protein with breakfast, maybe a boiled egg? Lunch: What about a meat and veg soup and roll or a rice or pasta salad with some chicken added to it. Add a piece of fruit and/or yoghurt. Dinner: Reduce the protein serving and spread the protein over your other meals.

You also need some good fats in your diet....at least a couple of teaspoons of healthy fat/oil.


I had a look at your food diary, if your diary is correct, you are under eating by a lot of some days...you won't be doing yourself any favours under eating. You will lack energy and be hungry and this will likely lead to binge eating because your body will be craving nutrition.

Not convinced by those breakfast biscuits for lunch. How much sugar do they have in them?

I don't think so. Why not do some mild exercise so you can increase your intake a little... A brisk walk 3-4 times per week will do your heart good and you really don't have to do a lot... Walk with friends, etc. Just do some activity you enjoy... Seems like a lot of cereal.

I'd love to see you stick to that for more than a week. Hahaha. Not sure why everyone here is getting hung up on sugar- there's absolutely nothing wrong with it unless you're diabetic and, quite frankly, given how little calories you're getting in general your body will need the quickily derived energy.

Oh, and yeah, I said you're hardly eating enough- you predict a minimum of 600 calories worth of basic meat and veggies? Assuming you have a single standard portion of meat, well do you know what 300-400 calories worth of vegetables look like? Not gonna happen. Don't be afraid to add some sustenance- some rice, quinoa, pasta, bread! Anyways, don't get hung up on torturing yourself by sticking to a certain selection of orthoexic foods. You could lose weight on donuts (and still have perfect blood work.) It's all about the deficit.

Looks like those figures are a running tally and way too low to be a sane one. Well, maybe sane if you're closer to 3'5 than 5'3. My stomach is growling at the thought of that diet.

FoodieMotion, I agree, I have no idea why people think that cereals and "health bars" are healthy at all...

Wheat Bran (87%),Sugar ,Barley Malt Flavouring ,Salt ,Niacin ,Iron ,Vitamin B6 ,Riboflavin (B2) ,Thiamin (B1) ,Folic Acid ,Vitamin D ,Vitamin B12

salt, sugar, malt favouring + wheat ... not my idea of healthy

Totally this! And the skimmed milk! People need fat! Go for whole milk, preferably raw.

Just read this on the net: "...According to a 2007 study conducted by the University of Hawaii, epidemiological data suggest that consumption of lowfat and nonfat milk may be correlated with an increased risk of localized or low-grade prostate cancer tumors, whereas whole milk was associated with decreased risk..."
