Am I consuming enough food a day???
First of all your food intake is extremely low. You are not consuming enough calories for your body to function properly each day. You are eating Less than 500 calories a day. This is too too low. Non active woman in your age group should be consuming1200-1500 cals a day. Active woman in your age group should be consuming1400-1800 cals a day. Very active woman in your age group should be consuming 1600-200 cals a day. If you are trying to lose weight, well, its not going to happen, because your body is going into starvation mode and will store fat , rather than burn it for future use. the best way to go about it is to eat 6 small meals a day, if you wana go veg, theres nothing wrong with that, just make sure that you are getting your protein from other sources such as lentils, legumes, kidney beans etc, as your body needs protein in order to help you burn fat. A rough example of what you could be eating a day is; Brekkie- Banana with soy milk + 2 sl wholegrain toast and a spread of your choice. Mid morn snack- 2 thick ricecakes spread with low fat cottage cheese and tomatoe + fruit. Lunch- Bowl of chicpea salad. arvo snack-200gr tub lowfat youghurt, mixed with 2 T mueslie. Dinner- Stirfrie veggies, served with a handfull of pasta. Snack- Handful of unsalted almonds or macadamias + fruit . Drink 2 and a half litres of water a day. Make sure you excersise 5 times a week. You can have 1 day of the week where you can eat junkfood, this is your rest day. But be sure to go back to your healthy eating plan the next day.
