Is my nutrition ok if I want to lose weight? What are some good burning fat foods?

[Anonymous]

Breakfast:
1) Green tea with 3 slices of toasted whole wheat bread, 4 almonds.
2) 0.1% fats yogurt with 2 slices of toasted whole wheat bread, 4 almonds.

Lunch or breakfast: It changes. I eat parboiled rice, chicken, fish, whole wheat bread, green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, etc), mushrooms, lentils, peas, salad, tomatoes, potatoes, eggs
and as of grease I only use 1 and a half teaspoon of olive oil a day

Snacks: fruits like oranges, apples, kiwis, green tea, almonds, a salad, cereals

I use the MyFitnessPal app by under armour to track my caloric and nutritional intake.

Honestly, your breakfast sound largely devoid of any nutritional value. You'd be better off with 1 or 2 slices of toast with avocado or an egg white and greens omelet, or oatmeal (made with water) with chia or flax seeds and Berries.

To lose weight you wantlow calorie, fibre rich and protein rich foods. Healthy fats are also essential, such as fats from fish, flax/chia, avocados and olives.

Good rule of thumb is to keep your meals between 300 and 500 calories and if you must snack, eat fibre and protein heavy snacks such as apples with a small amount of nut butter, a handful of nuts (careful - 1/4 cup is about 150 calories), black bean baked goods (awesome brownie recipe below that'll sate your sweet tooth), or granola (be wary of store bought granolas, they're often full of sugar).

I follow a blog on Facebook called eat clean. They have lots of great recipes and stuff. I also do a lot of baking with recipes from sugarfreemom. com and skinny taste.

Healthy-ish Brownie Recipe:

Ingredients

½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup crushed walnuts
1 (19 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
2 eggs
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant coffee
3-4 tablespoons liquid honey

Preheat to 350 degrees
Process all ingredients in food processor until fairly smooth
Pour mixture into greased 8 by 8 baking dish
Back 30-35 minutes (usually perfect at 35, but check at 30 with toothpick)

Works out to just under 200 calories per brownie. You could use dark chocolate chips and/or less honey for fewer calories and a lower sugar content.
High in fibre
Almost 10% DV of iron
Low in fat

3 slices of toast? why 3?

just do the standard 2 and add 1 egg and some egg whites to that.

lunch is fine, just go easy on the rice. some people tend to eat literally an entire bowl with their meal, and thats just too much. rice is also easy to eat, so they consume a lot in 1 sitting.

Okay thanks for the suggestion. I usually eat 100 g of rice, that should be a normal portion I think

[BertMacklinFBI]

what might help keep your portions on track is buying those microwave rice bowls, they give exact amounts and are around 300 calories per bowl, so you can eat half or the whole thing knowing you won't go overboard.

[BertMacklinFBI]

that is if portion control is an issue from time to time but it seems like you're fine

[iFarted]

... That's why me and my people will never reveal they abs D;

[BertMacklinFBI]

[iFarted]

[BertMacklinFBI]

Looks great, two things tho
-switch yogurt for Greek yogurt (compare the sugar and protein, you'll see why)
-no need to add fats and oils as a female. (Guys: you do tho)

Keep it up, focus on long term motivation, focus on overall caloric intake too.

4 almonds? LOL 4 almonds? Almonds are healthy but 4? lol wtf

Yeah your diet is perfectly healthy. I think raspberries help you burn fat.

[Asker]

is 4 almonds too much?

[ATPPC]

No lol it's so little I'm just wondering why even bother.

[apple24]
