hi well im trying to loose weight.

i'm 23, male, 5ft 12inc 266 pounds

for breakfast i have 2 pieces of weetabix with semi skimmed milk and a banana with orange juice. sometimes i have 2 eggs on 2 slices of brown toast instead of weetabix.

Dinner i have a apple and sometimes a ham sandwich on brown bread.

lunch i have rice or pasta with chicken or fish

supper i have either a orange or apple and 2 weetabix again with orange juice.

i drink at least 4 pints of water a day aswell.

everyday i take the dogs for a walk for 30mins - 1 hour 30mins and i do about 15 mins of exercise (sit ups/press ups etc)


will this help me loose weight or am i doing something wrong? :)

Well, it's not necessarily WHAT you eat, but how much calories you intake. You can lose weight with pizza as well as brocolli. The pendulum swings both ways, so to speak. (Obviously brocolli is better for you than pizza though.)

I inputted your stats into the Calorie-Count calculator and

" You burn 3400 calories during a typical day. Remember that this estimate is based on your body weight, height, age, gender, and your average level of activity."

Since you're trying to lose weight try to eat between 2700-2900 calories daily.

hmm so i worked out how much calories i eat a day and its around 1500 and i always feel full, so what do you suggest i should eat to get upto 2700 calories a day because that seems like alot.

Nuts and seeds.

High in calories but still really healthy.
