nope..but you deff need to eat a bit more breakfast since that's the most importand meal of the day and what your gonna live on the entire day or atlast a big part of it, lunch some meat and vegestables, you deff wanna avoid sauses and messy stuff, you know what I mean, avoid black burnt food ( geifs cancer ) drink milk ( I fyou can bear the taste ) you need vegges and and fish, you also need some potatoes and the like, pasta etc be carefull with those tho since they might add weight but remember that its not hot with girls that are like sticks, girls should have a little curves (like rihanna for example) eat dark pasta with grains and stuff and its pretty safe to eat a fruit or two b4 18:00 and if you feel that your tired and stuff its most likely cus you don't get enough potatos / pasta (and stuff like that don't know what its called ) in yourself

The cereal is only 78 calories. You don't specify how much milk you are using or the kind of fruit... Fresh strawberries might only add 30 calories to that, while something canned in a sugary syrup might ad more. one cup of milk is around 100 calories... So taking a wild guess you are eating approximately 200-250 calories for 2 of your meals each day and skimping on dinner. That sounds way low. You need to eat at least 1200 calories per day.

Meals shouldn't be repetitive, so you should try to mix it up & it doesn't sound too fun

Instead, do something like this--

Breakfast: Bowl of oatmeal(made with cinnamon) with fruit mixed(like bananas, blueberries, strawberries etc) in it and a slice of whole wheat bread and peanut butter on top or a cup of greek yogurt

snack: fruit or veggies or a handful of almonds with a cup of greek yogurt

Lunch: Tuna sandwich or a wrap with turkey/a veggie/cream cheese

snack: cottage cheese with fruit or a salad

Dinner: whatever your mom makes. To make it healthier, try to make 2/3 of the plate veggies along with either chicken, fish or lean red meat

You're like the same BMI as me. You don't need to lose any weight to be in the correct BMI, but you can still lose some weight and stay in he correct BMI.

I would try to get some more food groups in there. Unless dinner always includes a vegetable, meat, and dairy you'll be missing food groups. And if you exercise I would eat just a little more than what you have planned there.

Yes, dieting is awesome. Keep it up! As long as you are dieting right, keeping your metabolism up.
