    is this because you plan to only eat that one meal all day?

    to calculate the calories you would want to enter the 5 eggs (size), weight of the oil used, weight of the chicken breast. add any sauces, toppings or whatever else you used.

    but yes that would be too few calories for the day big time.

    Why why why would that be all of your food for the day?

    Yes, 729 calories is way too little. Based on the "brah", I assume you are male. Unless you are incredibly short, the MINIMUM recommendation for males is 1500 calories per day. Most men actually need much more than that and can still lose weight. Use food diary here to actually log your food and help you reach your calorie goal. You don't have to eat again immediately if you are full, but you should be able to eat something calorie dense like nuts, peanut butter, dairy, etc. later to get more calories.

    Beyond calories, that menu is sadly lacking in variety and nutrients, which you need for good health and growth. You should be eating a wide range of foods (and a lot more of them).

    Why did you post in Nutrition?

    Are you trying to bulk?

    Maybe post in the Gaining Weight section.

    Wait a few hours and have a salad and an apple and something other than protein.

    I am confused as to how that fills you for an entire day? Are you only eating one meal?

    If that is truly filling you for an entire day, you need to look at other food that you don't find as filling, but has more calories. peanut butter is a good example.

    If you mean this is your pre-workout meal and you intend to eat more later you are fine.

    Seems trollish then.


    In case I am wrong I don't believe that you are physically incapable of eating more food than that in an entire day. If you are you need to see a doctor. I won't start on balancing your nutrition better because I don't think I am wrong.

    That's not enough calories.

    What do you mean by stunt growth. How old are you OP?

    Yeah, how old are you?

    Because 900 calories per day is even too low for a one year old.

    So did you eat more to make up for it then? And are you making sure to eat more than 1500 every day plus your excercise calories?
