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
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

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?
