Is this a good plan?
Hi everyone! :hug:Just wondering if my eating plan for today sounds healthy.
So far for bf I had: I had two apples, 1/2 cup kefir (it's like yoghurt), and 5 triscuit crackers (100% wholewheat). Lunch I plan on: eating 1 cup of a vegetable curry with beans and lentils no bread Dinner: I plan on having a slimfast vannila pwoder shake 5 triscuit crackers |
Are you a vegetarian? Either way, I think you need more protein than just the lentils at lunch. Try cottage cheese, or hard cheese, or eggs. Or if you aren't vegetarian - lean chicken and fish are great. Our bodies need enough protein in order to burn fat. Just my 2 cents though.

It does not look like enough calories. Is this something you planned for yourself or did you get this advice from a book, magazine etc.
Are you trying to follow a specific plan (which includes calorie counting). Remember this is a lifestyle change - if this is not a way of eating that you can keep up for the longterm it is not going to be successful. Lori |
I cannot tell for sure exactly how many calories per day this would be...because I don't have the calorie information for the curry that you are eating, or for the yogurt.
My estimations, however, are that this plan is about 900-1000 calories a day...which is a little too low. Are you calculating your calories at all? Are you exercising? From what I see, you should try to have a bit more variety-not have this same thing every single day. Maybe try and add 200 or 300 calories a day to this, and make the calories a fruit, and another protein source. |
Now that many of you had metined I was lacking some calories so I threw in some more foods yesterday. So my calorie intake went up to 1300. Anything lower than a 1000 cals can not be good. Today since I plan on doing some house work I plan on making my calorie intake 1,500.
