Hi guys,
I am trying to lose weight. I only do light - moderate swimming during the weekends.
I just don't want to get yo yo effect in terms of my diet and would like to check if this eating pattern is okay.
For morning:
I usually take something heavier, like rice or noodles.
Afternoon:
Something with soup, less oil, or sandwiches
Night:
(Meatless) Salad, yoghurts, eggs, soups.
The foods are something in that range, and also I am cutting down on meats, mainly taking fishes, reason is because my eczema heals better when i take less meats and I don't have to rely on steroids to heal.
So is this eating pattern ok? Will i have yo yo effect?
How many calories are you eating in a day? Not sure? Learn how to count and you will be amazed at how much you need and how much you eat a day.

Hi guys, so recently I decided to finally once and for all lose all that unnecessary fats lingering around in my body. I weigh in at 84 kg's and my height is around 175 cm's.
So I started out with a simple 5km run everyday at around 9pm ( I do it at night because I'm busy with Uni most of the time )
And I've already reduced my rice intake by a lot. I only scoop rice according to the size of my fist and started to eat more veggies, meat ( chicken, fish etc) and also started to drink more water frequently rather than going for processed drinks and all that.
I've read a bit ( albeit confusing ) anout calorie counting and macronutrients and what not and its a bit too overwhelming for me 😅 I do hope one day I could get to that level in which i could understand fully on how the entire thing works but now currently I was wondering whether the plan that I've already set for myself is lacking in anyway especially for a beginner like me?
Any thoughts and comments about it will be appreciated!
If you do not count calories portion cutting works. What if one day you have achieved your goal and you want to maintain? How much you should eat by then? Start learning how to count. It will benefit you in a long run.
