Your body needs more fuel to keep your workouts going. Please start your own thread as to not confuse response to your question with OP's question. Lunch - chia pudding with homemade mango ice cream (1 cup frozen mango and just enough milk to cream it) and homemade nutty granolaĭinner - 1/4 roasted aubergine, 1/2 roasted small courgette, 1/2 roasted pepper, 1 Quorn fillet and a small amount of cheese, in a BFree wrap, with sweet potato wedges. Now, I've had a look at that calorie calculator thing and it's telling me that actually, I'm eating way fewer calories every day than I should be.so why the hell am I not getting any thinner?īreakfast - 1 scrambled egg on 1 slice Genius Toastie loaf (I'm a coeliac) I know exactly what I eat and when and yes, I've had slips where I've had a slice of cake or whatever but I always slim my portion sizes or the food itself so I am at least less than 10 over my calorie limit for the day (exception being a meal out a couple of weeks ago).

I CANNOT seem to get any thinner and it's driving me insane!!!! I'm not one of these 'secret eaters'. I'm 5 foot 5, 9 stone 4 and a UK size 12. I've been ill for a really long time so I'm pretty new to the exercising aspect but I'm lost.

I've been eating around 1200 calories a day for about 4 weeks now, and exercising at least 2-3 times a week (combination of speed walking, elliptical machine, light weights and some jogging). You'd probably find you could eat 1500 calories, not be hungry, and lose weight happily. Most people will struggle on 1200 calories in my opinion. Maybe start by logging your NORMAL daily diet for a week or so to see what you've been eating so far, which can be a bit of an eye-opener. If you are hungry then the chances of sticking to any weight loss programme are slim. Try this calculator to get some ideas on what to set your goal to, as MFP tends to throw out 1200 as standard.
