Concentrate on what you eat... Your calories intake is really low...
You don't want to starve yourself.. you want to give your body energy to burn more calories by eating the right food.

A digital food scale and a note book are two of the most important tools you can have for weight loss.

Weigh everything you eat. You might be kidding yourself on calories.

Write down everything you eat. Go on-line and see what each item's caloric value is and add up your daily totals.

Writing things down does more than tell you how many calories you take in; it acts as an accomplice to your will power. You are less likely to cheat if you write things down.

thanks alot Nokie and packard.

Im currently recording food diary on fit.com.

I had a high protein supper last night and this morning i was feeling a little sluggish no energy. is this co incidence?

[HipposPlod2]

I had 40g chicken breast,2medium carrots,4slices of home made beetroot,and green beans.
2hours i had 1/4 cup of peanuts.

another concern is that peanuts a very high in fat.that serving has 214kj with 18g fat,7.9g carbs,8.6g protein.this cant be good?is it?

Lesplease you can respond whenever you can.Im not going anywhere,i will be patient. good luck with the exams.

[HipposPlod2]

and i thought fat was just FAT.so many fats yho.lol.yes you right. that portion has 9%monosaturated fat,5.2polysaturated fat and 2.5%saturated fat.

I dont see anything about transfats.where else are they normally found(WHICH FOODS)?why is it bad?

[HipposPlod2]

Fully hydroginated oils are trans fat free (but are generally too solid for use). They blend the fully hydroginated oil with regular oil to get the right consistency.
