I am looking for some advice as to whether I eat too much or not! I have basically been dieting for the last 4 years but now I have had enough and just want to eat normally. However, I always seem to be hungry and I’m paranoid that I am going to put on loads of weight but I really don’t want to diet any more. I basically eat whenever I am hungry and have what I am hungry for, but still pick some reduced fat options as it just makes sense. This is what I ate yesterday as an example. Do I eat too much???

Breakfast: Muesli and unsweetened soya milk.

Snack: Fruit and nut bar (counts as one portion of fruit – 150 calories).

Lunch: Carrot and reduced fat hummus sandwich on seeded bread.

Snack: Apple.

Snack: Packet of baked Wotsits crisps (100 calories).

Dinner: Pasta with homemade tomato and vegetable sauce and a small sprinkling of reduced fat cheese.

I am eating healthy food to try and lose a little weight. I have been doing this for the past three weeks. In the first week I lost 3 pounds, which I guess was just water weight, but for the last two weeks I haven't lost anything at all. I am starting to get frustrated and really want the scales to start moving!

Breakfast: No added sugar or salt muesli (50g) with unsweetened soya milk (200ml)

Lunch: Low fat houmous and carrott sandwich on wholegrain bread with an apple and tangerine

Dinner: 1 portion of wholegrain carbs, 1 portion of lean protein plus 3 portions of veg, followed by a tangerine.

If I get really hungry I may snack on some dried fruit or healthy nut butter but try not to.

I also do 1 hour of running twice a week and 30 mins of stepping twice a week.

Do you think I am eating too much for weight loss? Any advice welcome!
