why dun just eat half boiled egg or boiled egg and mash it up like an egg sandwich (but DUN put mayo) and put the ham on top and toast. btw, what bread are you eating? if can get whole grain variety might be better?

btw, you only ate brunch and dinner? only 2 meals?

the brand not really important for bread. just the type of bread. go for wholemeal/wholegrain breads instead of white bread. maybe you wanna try the new gardenia breakthru bread. taste wise is ok la.. not as good as the white bread tho. but its better for you to meet your goal.

ok, if you wanna lose weight, its about achieving caloric deficit. not starving yourself.
eating 2 meals a day would qualify to starving yourself.
the way to lose weight is this: burn more calories than consuming (ie, a caloric deficit)

here's a better way to work towards a diet. start with getting the figure for maintenance calories. then minus out 500-1000calories from that figure. that is the total amount of calories you need to consume daily to lose weight.

now you have that figure, you divide that into several meals. recomended is 5. means you eat every 3 hours or so... WHY? is because when your body gets food, it will continue using up energy, meaning your metabolism keeps on running. when you starve your body, your body adapts to the starved state by using up LESS calories for daily activity until it gets food. get it? so its better to spread out your meals so that your body keeps on burning energy.

and as your body adapts to the overall lower calorie diet, then you progressively decrease your calories.
by cutting out a huge amount of calories from your diet will shock your metabolism and you'll hit a plateau after a few weeks into your starve-yourself diet. at that point, you'll get depressed and think "dieting sucks, it don't work"
So, diet the RIGHT way. read up the pinned diet thread for more information. knowledge is the key to a good diet.
Good luck

when i put 1000 cals. it was ment for the severely overweight. you case is not that bad. so cutting out 500 calories should be enough. don't go 1000. thats too much, you'll actually lose muscle also.
but i think you get the idea of it already eh. just look at nutritional info of the food b4 you eat it to count the calories. other stuff can try to go here to count: www.fitday.com

but that website can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
