If I have a omlette for my tea with 2egg yolks and 4 egg whites?

You will not necessarily lose weight on a diet if you do not know how many calories you eat in a day, and do not know how many calories it takes to maintain your present weight.

Obviously, in order to lose weight, you must eat fewer calories than it takes to maintain your present weight.

And if you avoid fattening foods, but eat TOO MANY calories, you will gain weight.

Here are two sites to help you.

The first site will calculate for you how many calories YOU need each day to keep your weight. Try to eat 600 calories LESS that that a day. ONE day a week, you want to eat TO your maintenance calories .. just to fool your body so it doesn't slow down its metabolism (and you stop losing weight).

The second site will tell you how many calories are in all foods that you might eat. Make sure to count everything .. even a dab of butter of a drizzle of salad dressing. For instance, find out the calories for 2 poached eggs, for the bread, for butter/margarine on the bread if you used it. And for the protein shake.

You want, first, to see if the package tells you how many calories there are in whatever serving size. If there is no package information for a food (such as with eggs), then use this site:

For a diet to be successful, you MUST plan everything the day before. Decide what you want to eat tomorrow, then figure out how many calories that will be .. then adjust tomorrow's good plan if you have to drop some of the foods out so you don't eat too many calories.

And then .. the next day, do NOT eat anything that you did not plan for the day before.

You will also find it easiest to STAY on a diet if you eat 3 smaller meals a day, and 2 snacks.

Eat 1/4 of your daily calories for breakfast, lunch and supper and always have some protein in it (since protein keeps you full longer).

And eat the remaining 1/4 of your daily calories divided up with half as a mid-morning snack and half as a mid-afternoon snack.

Also, avoid eating white bread, foods with while flour and/or sugar in them, and chocolate. These foods end up making you hungry a lot sooner than meals without them .. AND they trigger cravings that make you HATE dieting, and make you more likely to cave in and eat something you shouldn't.

You will find that if you go for 2 weeks without eating these "bad" foods, that your craving for them either diminishes or goes away altogether. They seem to have some addictive quality to them.

But remember .. it's not whether or not a food is fattening, but how many calories you are eating.

Remember too, that you NEED some fat in your diet .. your body is always replacing cells as they die, and fat is part of the content of the cell wall for these cells your body is building. You need to eat some fat, but not nearly as much as we get in our normal eating.

Daniel, answer me this, before I tell you if they are fattening. Are you also working out with this diet? Do you go for 5 to 10 klm jog, you doing weights, tread mill?

No.
