Hi all, this is my daily diet routine..
I'm trying to lose some weight here ( I'm a student and I walk around a lot )


This is my eating routine (weekdays)

Breakfast:
Bread ( chocolate cream) or 1-2 packet of oat biscuits
Milo

Lunch:

Small portion of white rice + some vegetable + 1 stick of hot dog

Dinner:

Same with breakfast


**I usually exercise around 4-5 time a week, mostly jogging only since it is easiest way ( for 30-45 minutes)
** I also always drink plenty of water
** For weekend, I eat at home and usually eat bigger portion than in weekdays


Can anyone drop some comment regarding my diet whether it is suitable to lose weight?

Thanks smile.gif

remember to eat more fruits. To increase ur vitamins and mineral intake.
U need more carbohydrate too.
Say no no to hotdog. It is heavy in artificial stuff - u know what i mean. Replace it with other protein - white meat, eg: egg, fish and chicken.

Thanks you for your comment smile.gif
But, what do mean that I need more carbohydrate?
Do I need to increase my rice portion ?
What should I do?

Besides that, it is ok to take eggs? Because the eggs sold in the cafe is fried and oily...

Sry if ask too much...newbie here...>_<

For your breakfast - I think you're consuming too much sugar. And can you elaborate what you mean by "walking around a lot"?

1. Chocolate cream bread - the cream is fattening and full with sugar. Replace this with white bread or oats+milo or boiled eggs+milo. If you can, take your milo plain.
2. Oat biscuits - instead of taking this, why not take oats instead? Oats biscuits are nothing more than commercial cookies/ biscuits where they add a couple of oats and market it as "oats biscuit". It's excessively sweet, unhealthy (processed) and oily. Avoid biscuits/ cookies if you're planning to lose fat.

It seems that you're consuming sugar and fats (with the same food for dinner as breakfast) double in a day. Doesn't seem so good, does it?

Lunch
1. Hot dog? Aiyo~ any idea how hot dog is made? they blend meat, fats and some other parts (possibly internal organs - which is edible of course) together and insert them in a 'skin'. Yes they taste good but absolutely bad for health, especially since it's processed meat.
2. Recommendation - instead of eating hot dog, take steam or oven-baked chicken. Or, just tofu + vege & rice if you're okay with it. Throw in an apple if it's still not enough.

Bottom line, you're not eating enough yet each choice of your food are high in calories. In fact just eating few biscuits and 1 bread each for breakfast and dinner, you're somewhat "starving" your body from vege, fruits and protein - all the other nutrients necessary for a balanced body. Trust me when I say your current diet is bound to fail and instead of losing weight, you might even put on some weight.

What I think/ recommend:
Breakfast- milk + eggs/ milk + oats/ cornflakes + milk or eggs / bread+eggs etc (you get the idea, do whatever combo you want) if bread + jam is too plain, you can always toast your bread to make it tastier

Tea break - a piece of bread/ an apple/ a banana

Lunch - brown rice or white rice/ noodles, vege, meat/chicken/tofu/ egg (protein)

Tea break - a piece of bread/ an apple/ a banana or simple a cup of oats. Sometimes I take a small cup of cornflakes + plain milo

Dinner - brown rice or white rice, vege, meat/chicken/tofu/ egg (protein)

Supper - (if you must) 1-2 slice of fruits

And that should do nicely. Reason? You've got carbs, protein, fiber and even sugar all covered in a balanced manner. This is just an idea for you to kick start, feel free to improvise or replace some of the items as it suits you. Have fun and throw in chapatti & tandoori chicken at times. Pizza? Why not! But just 1 slice  Anyway different people have different eating habits. On days I plan to go to the gym, I actually have 2 tea breaks in the evening. One would be around 3+ to 4pm and another time at around 7pm - before I hit the gym. It's because I need energy to keep me going when I workout.

Also, on days I want KFC - I go for it. Just that I limit the number of times I eat it (eg. only once a month) and watch what I eat - chicken breast with no skin. Yet i'll make sure that I can only cheat if I'm going to the gym that day. Suppressing your appetite is not going to help in long run. I've tried that and it bounces each time. So eat what you want but plan ahead.



Thank you so much for the reply...
I really do appreciate and will take your recommendations to improve my daily diet..smile.gif
The term of 'I walk around a lot' means that I usually walk to my campus from hostel everyday.

1) But, for morning, I couldn't take milk as I have some sort of allergic to it..@_@
It is ok to take the milo + oats only?

2) Does tea break is optional?
Since I'm still a student and our break is quite short, I usually just skipped tea break or buy yogurt / vitagen

3) and, for lunch, since I only have the option of eating the foods that in cafe and they always cook oily types of food such as chicken curry, fried egg etc....
It is ok if I take : white rice + vege + fried egg/chicken ?
I cant make in my room since I only have water heater in my room and I have class again in the afternoon....

This is my newest daily plan, please help me correct it if it is not suitable

Breakfast : Milo + 3 tablespoons of oat OR 1 slice of whole grain bread + jam + milo (instant)
Lunch : 2 1/2 scoop of rice + large portion of vegetable + fried egg or meat
Dinner : same with breakfast ( + fruits that is easier to keep such as apple,orange )
