Hi guys, I am seeking for a diet plan for male, about 181 cm and 100 KG. I am posting here because I really want to lose weight. I am also working in office time.

I am looking for a non extreme diet plan. Those kind of eat only fruits and vegetables for whole day is kinda hard for me.

I am looking for those diet plan that are light and not so suffering - I am okay with sandwiches for morning and etc.

I am also looking for exercise diet plan. Since I am overweight, extreme exercise like jogging 1 hour a day will be hard.

There's no need for those fancy diets or what not . Just track your calories upon eating your meal , yes you can eat whatever you want be it a burger , a whole bottle of oil , etc... as long as you track your calories . However, don't go overboard , a small plate of noodles MAY contain alot more calories than you think (the oil , seasonings , etc..). Before you do so, ensure that you KNOW your TDEE .

Use this link, it gives an APPROXIMATE value.
http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/

What's a TDEE ? In layman's term :
The amount of food you consume (measured in calories) that DOES NOT alter your body weight .

Eg: Ben's TDEE is 2000 cals , if he eats 2000 cals per day, he won't lose or gain any weight.

If Ben decides to consume 3500 cals per day , he will gain weight (fat and muscles) and end up a fat ass.
If Ben decides to consume 1500 calories per day, he will lose weight (fat and muscles)
It's the AMOUNT of food you consume that matters , NOT the CONTENT of your food . This is to achieve your weight loss/gain goals , NOT a step to make your lifestyle healthier or what not (there's no guarantee)

In simpler words , eat whatever you want as long as your caloric intake is reached based on ur goal . BALANCE is the key.

Mine is about 2000 cals based on the calculation in the link given. I would need to consume about 15% lesser - 1700 cals a day or maybe lesser...any good diet plan for that?

I know avoid fried food, avoid a lot of rice, avoid nasi lemak, avoid oily food. So I tried to come out with my own diet plan...can you guys give some opinion?

Breakfast - Was thinking oat but I don't like oat so change to something butter roti?

Lunch - Nasi campur with less rice or hakka mee or porridge or mee kari?

Dinner - This is the part I am having problem. I eat heavy for dinner (Fried rice, fried kuay teow, big portion of mee soup and etc) And I usually eat with my housemates outside. Any good food when eating outside?

Yea I understand that concept but I am not good at calculating calories and most of the time I do not even know how much calories in the food. I am looking a diet plan so that I can follow and without calculating much. With that diet plan, I can adjust a bit here and there.

It's fine to consume rice . Heck , there's no worry in consuming carbs at all. You CAN lose weight even though you're eating those "unhealthy" foods. What matters most is the calories you consume .

Like I said earlier , it's the AMOUNT (calories) of food you eat , NOT WHAT you eat .

All those salad , bland chicken and rice is bullshit. You can eat oily foods, high carbs food , etc.. AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT .

For starters, you need to understand what calories and how to utilize it.

EXAMPLE:
A plate of chicken-breast rice (typical chinese stall) is around 600cal+

So, if you were to lose weight (according to your TDEE 2000), you will have to consume 3 plates of those to get about 1,800cal.

It doesn't matter what food you need to avoid, as long as you know how much cals are there in the food you consume.

Eating out is gonna be a headache to count calories for sure but you could probably get rough estimates by googling.

So yeah, cook your own food so that you have control what goes into your tummy smile.gif

There are so many apps out there to keep track of calories, one of the best would probably be My fitness Pal!

P/S: if you're a huge sugar addict, it's best to keep that to a minimum as they take up huge loads of calories but yet doesn't even fill up your tummy. Thats why refined sugar is also called empty calories smile.gif

Not sure if I am a huge sugar addict but 3 meals a day - each meal also got a drink with sugar like milo, coconut and etc. Cooking my own food will be hard cause I live with my house mates and we usually eat out side. So I am trying to figure out which food has the least calories; which is a headache as I need to go Google before I order the food XD

So far what I had in mind is:

Breakfast - Sandwiches or roti with fruits juices like carrot milk without sugar
Lunch - Wan tan mee, Loh mee, Kari mee, porridge or nasi campur with less rice
Dinner - Headache as I usually eat heavily for dinner; I am thinking of...mee soup, telur ayam bistik + nasi, white rice + soup + meat and sweet&sour pork rice

What do you guys think? Can reduce calorie intake ma?

Try to eat complex carbs like oats, whole grains instead of refined carbs like white bread/buns as they contain a lot more fibre which helps keep you full longer. Pastries or breads may also be high in margarine which are usually high in trans fat, which is not good.

Eat rice instead of noodles because of the fibre in rice.

But wait, you should cut down on carbs IMHO and eat more protein and healthy fats (yes those damn saturated fats in the meat) instead. Protein and fats are more filling.

Keep track of your calories. You said your TDEE is around 2k, I guess you don't do exercise? You can try a 200-300 caloric deficit, try less if you fail.

If you constantly feel that you're always hungry and always exceeding 2k, cut down on carbs and sugar (if you insist on carbs, eat more complex carbs), eat more protein and fats.

Yea I seldom exercise. Maybe I can try to jog for 30 minutes - 3 times per week. What food has complex carbs or protein and healthy fats?

Calorie count comes with experience, just be a little patience and continue your regime.

To keep it simple, just use your palm size for generic counts

This would be helpful to you

We advocate flexing eating.

If you still want a diet plan, just google for some diet plan where they have 12 meals of chicken breast/tilapia fish.  doh.gif
