Hi,

I would just like to know if my habits are healthy or not?

Breakfast - 1 multivitamin, Yakult, Either a bowl of plus antioxidant cereal or a liquid breakfast up and go.
Lunch - Subway 12inch chicken fillet multigrain, cheddar cheese, lettuce, carrot, onion, olives, fat free honey mustard sauce
Dinner - Mainly a healthy choice meal (400 cals or less)
Snacks - about 6 tablespoons of fat free yoghurt, 1 cup of v8 juice everyday, 8 peices of dark chocolate 70%

My gym routine involves 20 mins bike warm up then roughly 30 mins of weights then 20 mins bike, and this is before dinner.

Is this a healthy lifestyle?? my 8-5 job is a desk job so im sitting down all day but i park my car at least 5 mins walk away and walk to it during lunch.

Is it possible with this lifestyle to maybe sneak in a few alcoholic beverages on a saturday or friday night?? and work it off the next day?? haha

    Sodium comes from any foods that aren't made at home, and also processed foods.

    I agree with those saying there's a lot of sodium.

    Subway is FILLED with sodium. Their sauces, cheese, meats, etc. Healthier fast food but still not the greatest.

    The healthy choice meals are also loaded with sodium. Anything processed, frozen etc is.

    Maybe try cooking more?

    If you are eating the proper amount of calories you are good but I'd lower the sodium a bit. Drinking enough water?
