Hi guys, my weight is 76kg with a height of 165cm. Currently age 23. My bmi is already considered as overweight. I'm really worried that I will be obese when I start working. Any similar case with mine that has successfully lost weight?

My current diet is
Breakfast - Biscuit/Bread with kaya with a cup of Nescafe or Tea
Lunch - White rice with gravy + Chicken + sometimes egg
Dinner - Rice with Chicken and Vege
Sometimes gila will have Mcd for supper. Once a month.

I cycle to class. So currently that's my only work out.
Usually sleeps around 1am and wakes up at 8.30 am for class. Do this contributes to my weight too? - Not really. Unless you feel you are not getting enough sleep.
1 more thing, i found out that i sweat a lot easily. Especially when eating spicy food. Sometimes I cycle to class. Waiting for it to be empty. Stand outside for 5 minutes only, the back of my shirt like soaked with water already. -.- sign of overweight? Definitely not. I know some skinny people who sweat a lot as well. As far as I know, there is no correlation between how easily you sweat and your BMI

How to improve my diet guys? Help! Is it okay if i change my lunch to bread only? Start working out? Increase your meat intake while reducing your rice + gravy intake?

Does that log include your snacks in between?

E.g. food that you binge on between breakfast and lunch or in between lunch and dinner (if any)

I don't feel that I am not getting enough sleep. So that's out of the question.
If I just wanna slim down (not getting 6 pack definitely), cycling and basketball everyday is sufficient? Because in my uni, cycling is my main transport. lol
About taking more meat and reducing rice + gravy, I'll be google-ing on that. Didn't know that meat intake wil help in weight lose.  biggrin.gif
Snacks in between
Breakfast and lunch - biscuit (again), sometimes maggi
Lunch and dinner - none

Lol, it's not that eating meat will help you lose weight.

Protein has a higher TEF (thermal effect of feeding) compared to carbohydrates. I don't want to bore you with the science and nutrition terminology but basically what it means is that, most of the time, you will expend more energy trying to digest protein compared to carbs. For simplistic sake and not over-complicating things, I'd put it simply as an increase in metabolic rate.

Also, I would cut out that maggi. Take a look at the nutritional information of a packet of maggi. Ain't worth it for the satiety it provides. But then again, to each their own.
