I eat a sub every day from subway. I get a footlong that has 800 calories. I eat half for lunch, half for dinner. A bowl of oatmeal for breakfast- 400 calories. Plus a serving of pretzels-100 calories. So in total, 1300 calories a day. I work out 4 days a week and burn 450 calories. I wiegh 142 lbs, and i'm 5'7. Will i lose weight with this plan or do i need to cut more cals?Will i lose weight with this diet?
You're on a good start, but you can do a lot better.
Try to aim for 1600 calories and eat every 4 hours, 400 calories each meal. You didn't say what kind of sub you're getting, or what toppings, so I'll assume it could be the absolute worst subs they have, the tuna salad and meatball subs. Those are full of fat and calories. If you plan to keep eating the subs, you need to stick to the healthiest ones you can find, and pile on the fresh veges. Lean meats are fine. Stay away from fatty sauces like mayo. Choose the whole wheat bread over the regular white bread.
You need to balance your diet though. I've been on the Flat Belly diet for a few months now and have lost about 15 pounds on it (I've been on and off the diet). It's very easy to follow and helps give you guidelines as to what you should be eating to stay healthy and lose weight at the same time. Here's an example of what I eat from day to day.
Breakfast is oatmeal with fruit and milk. I love adding dried cranberries to my plain oatmeal. It adds vitamins and natural sweetness at the same time.
For lunch, I love a 3oz can of tuna, usually the albacore, mixed with a little Italian salad dressing with crackers or whole wheat bread (tuna sandwich) plus steamed carrots (no butter) or fresh fruit.
For dinner skinless chicken breast, grilled or baked is the best. Or a lean fish like Tilapia. Add more steamed veges and maybe some brown rice, about 1/2 cup.
I love smoothies, so for dessert, I like to make my own using 1 cup of skim milk, ice cold, and 1 cup of frozen fruit (strawberries, cherries, blackberries, blueberries, or even pineapple). You can even mix and match the fruit. Add a little honey for a bit of sweetness, and blend in your mixer. While it's not as smooth as your average smoothie, it tastes just as good and takes a while to drink so you feel full quicker.
You also need to work out, which you already do, several times a week. Change your workouts every few weeks or else your body will get bored. And don't forget to drink LOTS of water. It's healthy, no calories, and keeps you hydrated throughout the day, as well as helps keep you full too. Good luck!
I need to know how tall you are before I can estimate the calories. 1300 seems like a reasonable range, and it's great that you are exercising. The important thing is that you get lots of veggies, 2-3 servings of fruit in a day, plus adequate protein. If you control your portions, eat till your full and no more, and don't eat right before bed you should lose weight. Just give it time, at least a couple of weeks to start seeing results. If you don't see results in that time, I recommend going to a nutritionist who can help you tweak your diet to get the results you want.
EDIT- just noticed that the 57 is 5'7...i read it as 57 years old, sorry, my advice still stands, but 142 is not bad for 5'7", it's not overwweightWill i lose weight with this diet?
It's not just about calories.
It's about a balanced day of all the main food groups, and avoiding trans/saturated fats. You don't have to limit yourself to the diet you are currently having. Choose from a variety of possibilities of vegetables, fruits, lean meats, etc.
Add fruit to your oatmeal in the morning and a cup of fat free milk.
Instead of pretzels, snack on celery sticks or carrots.
For the foot-long, have whole wheat bread, avoid mayonnaise, etc.
Im 5'7 and 135. DONT EAT A SUB EVERRRRRRRY DAY. MAYBE TWICE A MONTHHH!!!!!!!!!

Does this sound like a healthy meal plan?
Breakfast -
2 scrambled eggs, slightly salted.
half a slice of rye bread
small bowl of watermelon
water bottle
Lunch -
Subway 6 inch
wheat bread, ham and american cheese. toasted.
lettuce cucumber and ranch.
waterbottle
Snack - 90 calorie honey nut special K bar
a waterbottle
That was my day so far, tell me what i should improve or replace in what i ate for other days. And what should I eat for dinner, and a night snack? Thanks.Does this sound like a healthy meal plan?

wouldn't be so healthy for an every day mealDoes this sound like a healthy meal plan?
It sounds good so far but try not to make subway a regular thing, as healthy as it is compared to most fast food it's still a 'fast food'. It's good only every once in a while :)
You got fruit and vegetables in there which is great, good job on eating wheat bread too!
For a night snack you should try a single serve yogurt, look for a low calories brand. I know light activia is only like 70 calories and for dinner get some more vegetables in there! Maybe a yummy chicken salad?
If your craving something sweet you can put a chocolate pudding in the freezer and it taste just like chocolate ice cream but it's only around 110 calories :)

Is this healthy for a person?
Is it considered disordered eating if a person has 1 medium-sized apple for breakfast, and 1 subway salad wrap (with no meat, cheese, dressing, salt/pepper, extras) for dinner, plus cardio and strength training for an hour and a half a day? Would that person lose weight?Is this healthy for a person?
Most people don't realize how much waste can be trapped inside our bodies. Experts estimate that most people have 10-15 of waste trapped to the inside of their colon walls. Imagine how unhealthy this is with all these toxins sitting inside us. Oprah had a guest on her show that talked about how we need to make sure that we clean our bodies of this rubbish.

healthy? no. i think that would effectively kill me, personally. a body needs fuel, especially with all that exercise.

How much have i eaten today (calories) 10 points!?
OK i just want to know because i'm curious.
breakfast:banana
recess:half a cheese sandwich (white bread)
lunch:ham sandwich full (white bread)
how much have i eaten so far because i want to eat a vegetarian subway roll tonight. 6"How much have i eaten today (calories) 10 points!?
To be honest no one on this forum can say, because you have eaten different amount and portion size of that food so we would have no clue. BTW theirs an app called Loose it for iphones and ipod touches its good it gives you a rough amount of how much calories you have consumed rust me :).
Try fatsecret.com to work it out. We can't tell you because we don't know how big the slices of bread were, how thick the slices or cheese or ham were, whether the bread had butter or margarine on it, or any dressings.
You also need to account for any drinks.How much have i eaten today (calories) 10 points!?
Did your sandwiches have anything else on them? If so, your calories will be higher. According to mypyramid.gov you have only eaten 492 calories so far.
banana 110
1/2 cheese sandwich 100
ham sandwich 200
these are approximate and I am assuming there was no mayo on the sandwiches.

Do I have an eating disorder?
I think I am a little on the chubby side but most people say I look anorexic. Most of the time I skip out on breakfast which a lot of people do but I barely touch my lunch. It is just a pick fest. I don't exactly eat what you would call a supper every night, sometimes I don't eat because my mom will not cook for me (long story). So I usually eat a whole bag of popcorn at exactly nine o clock and go to bed. Today I had breakfast for the first time in a long time but my mom wasn't going to be able to make lunch so I baked 24 chocolate chip cookies and ate about 2 of them in the course of an hour and a half. I was planning on having supper with my mom tonight but things came up with her and I just told her to forget about it. She offered to get me Subway or Mcdonalds but I refused. Now I probably won't eat untill nine o clock tonight with my bag of popcorn. Then today will repeat itself tomorrow. Sometimes I don't eat because I feel sad, maybe I just have weird eating habits.Do I have an eating disorder?
Hi Sweetie Pie!
First off - props to you for even thinking about this, being concerned about your behavior and seeking out information. For some people just this step alone is very difficult!
Secondly - I have some serious questions to ask of you. How old are you? How much do you weigh and how tall are you? Is your mom a single mom? Does she drink or use drugs? Are there other family members that live with you? Do you have a guidance counselor or a teacher/ professor you feel comfortable talking to? I am asking because it sounds very much to me like this isn't about eating. Sounds to me like something serious is going on between you and your mom - or just with your mom and its affecting you.
Your old enough to use the computer so your old enough to use a microwave and there alot of healthy things that can be cooked in a microwave (veggies, lean cuisine frozen dinners and stuff). But then - this really doesn't seem to be about eating. Sounds to me like you are wanting your mom's attention and for some reason she is unable to give it to you the way that you want it. Please do me one favor - don't let this get acted out through your eating!! Anorexia is a VERY serious mental illness and it literally KILLS 20% of the people who suffer from it. That's one out every five people with anorexia. Whatever is going on at home - your right, it's probably pretty bad and seriously in need of some attention and help. You DO have the power, no matter how old or young you are - to get the help you need without trying to control a bad situation through restricting your intake of food. Please talk to an adult that you trust and feel like you can really talk to about whatever is going on at home with your mom and you.
To answer your original question " do i have an eating disorder?" You did not give us enough information to give a firm yes or no.
I wish you the best and if you really need help because you don't trust an adult please call the National Youth Crisis Hotline 1-800-448-4663. You can take care of this!!

I suggest seeing a marriage and family therapist in your area. You can find one in your area by going to the website aamft.org and clicking on therapistfinder.
You can read more about me if you go to norcata.org and click on Board members. My name is Lisa
I think you have unusual eating habits rather than anorexia. Anorexia is a very dehabilitating disorder- an complete obsession with food and weight, and an irrational reaction to it. People with anorexia are disgusted with themselves and the food they should ingest.
Firstly, people shouldn't say you look anorexic- they is completely offensive to you. Try to eat more healthily, you're just filling your body with salt and sugar and you'll end up quite ill. I don't know how old you are, so I can't say whether your mother is being irresponsible, but you seem pretty on board, so I think you should start sorting out your own healthy and nutritious meals. Also, drink plenty of water, especially now to flush out the high toxins you probably have in your body through eating so much sugar and salt.
Welldone for reaching out and asking for some advice.
It's okay to eat little if you keep your body stocked up on vitamins and nutrians. most of these are provided at breakfast in cerial and milk.It is not an eating disorder but I would suggest taking a daily multi-vitamin so there are not any bad affects on your health from your poor eating habits.
Sounds like obsessive compulsive almost. It also sounds like you're sad...which can lead to a lack of appetite. Just remember that every time you're skipping a meal, your body stores more of the next meal you take in because it goes into starvation mode. The best thing to do is to eat 3 small meals and snacks in between those...that helps keep your metabolism up!!
hey hun! i suffered from an e.d. and that was kindof ow it started. you might be ok right now but i would FOR SURE get some help with that before it gets bigger and harder to control.
OK..................COOK FOR URSELF!! CUZ I WOULDNT SAY U HAVE AN EATING DISORDER BUT U HAVE WEIRD EATING HABITS NOW NO MATTER WAT... START COOKIN FOR URSELF AND EAT MORE EVEN IF U DONT FEEL LIKE EA TING!!!!!!!!
Well, it does sound like you could eat more. But you definetely don't have an eating disorder. Next time your mom offers you fast food, take it. Even if you don't want "fat, greasy food" you could still eat. Especially since SubWay has that new fitness meal. And at McDonald's you can get salads. Start eating breakfast, and lunch, even if it consists of something small like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And don't just eat popcorn at night. Eat a meal. If your mom won't cook for you, try to whip something up yourself.
I do hope that helps you.

Is this a good amount of food for wieght loss?
breakfast: cereal with 2% milk.(about 200 cals)
lunch:baked hot chetoos(120 cals), a few pieces of pineapple (school luNch sucks.
dinner: 2 slices of lemon cake,half a chicken subway sub with ketchup,friut punch was(90cals), an apple.
how many calories ? is this enough?
i exercised for 40 minutes, 235 cals, 1.5 milesIs this a good amount of food for wieght loss?
Try eating more raw food. Raw fruit for breakfast is great for most people. If you consume dairy, I fruit smoothie might be a great option for you as well. This is really quick, easy and nutritious. Drink lots of purified natural spring water. Try to avoid processed sugar and flour like breads, cookies and cakes. Calories are not as important and eating real, unprocessed, nutritious food.
Awesome! Glad to help.
it will work for a couple of days or weeks... depending on how patient you are. but after that patience has gone your going to gain a lot more weight than you have now. try a fair weight-losing style... try this:
1.set a goal
2.start today
3.no shortcuts
4.find your inspiration
5.be happy
example:
1. lose 5lbs in a month (a moderate goal)
2. i'm going to cut off eating junk food or eat less of it. shop for fruits and veggies. balance my eating habits with meat. stagger my eating times (eat around 5 times a day, breakfast being the largest meal and dinner being the smallest meal) in addition to that, try eating dinner before 6pm. and eating a large breakfast can be difficult at first... its kind of something that is practiced. and... exercise around 30 minutes a day (as simple as walking, jogging) and make sure you eat something before and after the exercise, don't exercise empty stomached and make sure the replenish yourself with lots of water... drink 8 glasses of water day or more, preferably... it will help a lot!
3. no shortcuts! don't drink water and not eat anything. or exercise and not replenish yourself afterwards
4. i'm losing weight and gaining lean muscle because i'm impressing my crush... or doing it for my children, for my family, for my friends, for me!
5. be happy... after all that hardwork... always have some fun time. maybe after losing 5 lbs (your goal) celebrate by eating a burger :) and fries :) then start again to step 1 =)
you should be having atleast 1500 per day and if you are excersiing you should have even more
Well,in order to lose weight,you have to burn more calories than you eat. Bearing in mind that you burn around 60 calories per hour(that's one calorie per minute)when you sleep,and you also burn calories by just doing regular,everyday things. But the exercising obviously helps. You're diet seems alright to me,just keep eating a variety of foods,and exercise a bit more(about an hour a day)and you should get good results. :)
-Lynna
You r doing opposite. Your BF should be heavy and dinner absolutely light.Calculate your BMR and then see how many calories u can eat.
the key is to use more calories than you take in. i would cut the lemon cake out of diner, and the ketchup out of the subway sub, and add in like a peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and i would run for an hour, or 3 miles a day, whichever is faster.
You need at least 1500 calories a day to stay healthy, and if you're an adult, you'll be losing weight with that intake too, if you do 40 minutes of exercise.
I'd recommend changing your grocery shopping habits, and you'll eat better, guaranteed. A subway sub, cheetos, and fruit punch are all things to avoid, except to treat yourself. Buy more fruits and veggies. Vegetables are very filling, and don't have a lot of calories, and most importantly they are nutritious and good for you.
