boiling water on toast. Deffo yum

REALLY ??

Looks to me like you are short of fruit and veg too. At least swap the cornflakes for muesli (homemade is easy) with dried fruit if you don't like fresh. Smoothie instead of lucozade. Smoked salmon at lunch now and again instead of always egg. Not sure what there is in crumpets other than carbs.......in fact I don't know a great deal but think the diet needs a radical overhaul!

i bet your glad you asked now Tom

I just hope blurredgirl doesn't see this.

Jimba is right, although I would say it has NO fruit and veg.

It's high in junk - especially junk carbs (high GI wheats and rice, even the brown rice is still relatively high).

You need lots more protein, and try to get your carbs more from fresh veg than the grains.

Your weight will soon fall off.

7am

Cornflakes & Semi Skimmed milk, Crumpets 450 Calories

A complete waste of an eating opportunity. Eggs are simple and easy, as has been suggested. Muesli is good. Look at ways of getting more fish protein in your diet too. Kippers are bit overly processed though!


10am

4 pints of water

I drink a lot of water during the day, too. Mainly through habit developed as the best way of avoiding migraines.

Shortbead 300 Calories

Nasty. Snack on some nuts or something.

12 Noon

Graniery French Bread with Chicken ( Salad Cream Light )500 Calories

Try to avoid bread/made up sandwiches - too much salt, and general nastiness.

Try some chopped up carrot bayonets, and a bit of chicken or fish. Some tomatoes and a small lettuce can also be good and just as easy to obtain.

4 Pints of water

6:30pm

250g pasta with black pepper & jelly pot sugar free 350 Calories

No nutritional value here. Just junk carbs from the pasta.

8:15pm

Cornflakes & semi skimmed milk 300 Calories

Cut down on the bread.
Eat some fish at least twice a week
Chicken, plus other lean cuts.
Much much more vegetables. Always try to have two types of something green.
Drop down the amount of pasta, rice, bread etc. (potatoes don't seem to figure in the two days above)
Swap the carbs for either leafy green stuff (broccoli, kale, spinach etc), introduce some pulses (lentils, beans etc)

You'll find it easier to recover, loose weight etc.
