Hello, Few months ago I succeeded in reaching my weight goal but now I still feel like I could gain weight anytime soon. I only eat under 1000 calories each day and I feel bad for what I've ate.
I only eat in the morning and after, breakfast and lunch, no dinner. Using fitday to track my calories I've become too compulsive to count my calories. The scale is not helping me either, even if I eat under 1000, the weight tends to flunctuate up to 3kg and this scares me.
Sure I can fit a size 31 jeans now, but I'm certainly not happy with my eating habit.
Edit: Yes, I'm serious Darth Vader, sorry if my posts is offensive. Look at my previous threads.
Heh, ok just making sure.
First off your diet is complete SHIT and you are 16 years old. So now you've completely risked your health for how you look. You need to find your maintenance caloric level and SLOWLY go back up to it. You need to eat the right amount of calories... will your body gain weight? Maybe, but it will even out once you restore balance to your metabolism...
you've got virtually no fiber in your diet
no fruits
no vegetables
my bet would be excessive sodium from all the processed foods your eating...
Spend some time with teh stickied threads iin this forum...
YEP... read. Then when you are finished, read it two more times. You are talking to two VERY successful people who have gone through the SAME shit you are trying right now. It isn't worth the damage you are doing...

i wouldnt call myself successful - i'm no where near where i could or should be.. but that's not mastersync's concern...
MS's issues seem to run far deeper than what he is or isn't putting in his mouth... but instead what his head is telling him...
and ya gotta fix that...
My point wasn't to toot our horns... but just to let him know we've both been down that road before and it's better to hear it from people with experience rather than people with just the knowledge of nutrition (if that makes sense).
And stop... you are VERY successful. Are you completely at your GOAL? No, but you know how to get there and are doing the right things to get there... so that in itself is successful. You are in the 150+ club... if that isn't success, than you just called me a total failure.
I don't think we can EVER fix people's heads either... getting them to read some information and letting them take away what they will is up to them. We can only try to point them in the correct direction.

My diet is fairly repetitive but works for me... I take in about 2000 cals a day but that is still a caloric deficit with my BMR and daily activities.
Oatmeal is GREAT, rolled oats pretty much. There are even ones out there called Weight Smart Oatmeal, perfect stuff.
Peanuts, Almonds... I weigh everything out, so I have a serving of those at least once or twice a day... becareful those add up quickly at 170 cals for 28 grams. But they are a GREAT source of fat.
I make my own chili or turkey sandwich on whole grain breads and 2% cheese. Low fat yogurt, low fat cheese sticks, carrots for lunch.
94% fat free popcorn is a GREAT whole grain treat, 210 calories for the whole bag.
Kashi Cereal has a lot of good choices, I like their Original Go Lean or Go Lean Crunch... great sources of fiber which you need, with a bit of skim milk.
These are just SOME examples of the stuff I eat everyday, I know Mal has a ton of great foods she eats too.... <cough YUCK cottage cheese cough>

Peanut butter and apple or banana w/ some cinnamon ona whole grain tortilla is a great to go breakfast -- filling, protein, fiber -- lots of good stuff..
