A ballanced diet needs your calories to come from: 50% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 20% fat. This varies of course when you have metabolic health problems or excersize a lot, or if you are very short/tall. Make sure though you get at least 20% protein calories a day.
Protein and fat is what most cells are made off. Have you ever seen the starving kids in africa and thei huge bellies despite them being stick-thin? That is the result of too little protein in your food and you can get it at any weight.
Aw.... sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon!

Thanks Astrophe! I have underactive thyroid too, well non functioning actually, I was diagnosed at 17years old How do you find it affects your weight loss?
As a different approach, may you be pregnant? I *really* hate being asked that, but some vegetarian friends of mine, when preggers, really had those cravings.
It very likely was the impending cold, though. I hope you feel better soon!
Hi It is unlikely, me and my husband already have a 2 year old and are not intending to have another for at least another 3 years! Whilst nothing is impossible I seriously doubt it, I am mid cycle at the moment so I would also not have thought that I would be experiencing any symptoms of that, I've never craved egg before lol! My first I craved mc donalds burgers and beans on toast my 2nd chocolate cake and chocolate milkshake (he still loves these things now so I guess he really wanted them!) Thanks for your reply, as I say I am really not expecting that to be the case but I will let you know in 2 weeks ish time lol!
