Can someone look at my diary?

Drinking certainly isn't calorie free. Making better choices in food intake help. I know how you feel, I sometimes have the same problem. I try and plan my meals ahead of time so I am not scrambling at the last minute and just grab whatever to eat or worse, have to buy food from the cafeteria, which there are healthy choices, but it is difficult when something else looks really good. hope this helps some.

It looks like with the exception of a couple of high calorie snacks or meals, the food you're eating are good choices. If you cut out the alcohol, you'd probably be good. Overall, it looks like you might not be eating enough. I saw several days where you skipped breakfast and only had coffee. Make sure you have a healthy breakfast every day. And I agree with ginabgdc - you might want to add more protein.

Thank you I know I need to up the protein and less carbs, I do drink water throughout the day and only water mostly except for a little bit of juice here and there mixed with water, but I don't log it, but I agree more water!

I have a hard time getting the right balance of protein and carbs, too. I found that having a protein shake for breakfast (made with almond milk to avoid all the sugar that's in skim milk) helps me get those back in balance. As an example: I usually have my egg white omelette for dinner instead of breakfast because I'm backwards, and the protein shake for breakfast instead of yogurt or oatmeal means I can have a piece of whole grain toast with it and still be good on my carbs. It means I'm less hungry at night, and it really boosts my protein for the day. I was almost always 30 grams short of my goal and now I'm reaching it.

You eat a lot of processed foods. Maybe more fresh cooked foods with less sodium.

You need to fulfil your daily calories, you're falling very short on a lot of days.

Hi Shreyja,

I agree with those who say you are not eating enough. Maybe eat around 1400 cals a day. You sound like you are excercising a lot so no need to up that - infact you are doing loads - well done you! I also agree that missing meals is not helping - that sends your body into starvation mode just like eating too few calories. Someone mentoned eating less carbs and more proteins - I agree - especially if you are eating more carbs at night but have you considered switching your meals around? It works really well for me! I tend to make sure I have a good sized breakfast. I then normally eat my 'dinner' for lunch (meaning a big meal with carbs) and by dinner time, I will have worked off the carbs. I then have a small meal at dinner - Like a soup/salad or yogurt and fruit and maybe a wee bit of chocolate if I still have the allowance. That way all the calorie heavy food is being worked off during the day for sure. Saying that, not everyone likes eating dinner at lunch but it deffo made a real difffernce for me.

You sound like you are uber committed so I'm sure you will succeed no matter what :-) xxx

I'd add sodium to your display. Looks like some of your choices are very high in sodium which makes you retain water.

I agree with those that say you are not eating enough. Try and eat about 6 times per day. Raise your protein and lower your carbs. If you are burning 500 calories a day when you exercise then you can up your carbs on that day to complete your workout strong. I think you are probably retaining water looking at your food choices. Have you tried a good thermogenic like Oxyelite Pro, that might also help you burn more calories if you feel that is necessary. I am more concerned about the number of meals that you eat though. You can up your metabolism greatly by actually eating more. Your food choices have to be good though! Listen to the good advice some people are giving you and you will be good!! Good luck!
