thanks for helping ....i have no idea if my diet is healthy or no lol so... BTW i am looking for major weight loss like 100lb is my diet on the right road?

Holy smokes. And not in a good way. You're doing three hours of cardio a day on THAT????

You HAVE to eat more than that ... and healthier. Why the no eating after 4? Why so few calories? No veggies? No healthy fats?.

Seriously now .. at your weight that's a dangerously low diet. You should be eating around 3500 calories a day in order to lose weight at a healthy and reasonable rate. You should be eating a lot more veggies, more protein, and some healthy fats.

Start off by reading the sticky posts in this forum. You really really really need to fix your diet and soon or you're going to damage your health and your metabolism.

I totally agree with Kara. I am a female weighing 120 pounds and I eat WAY more than that in a days time! 445 calories is dangerously low, for anyone!!! Especially for someone of your height and weight...and with your high level of activity!!!

Please educate yourself and soon...like Kara said, before damage is done to your body and its metabollism! Good luck...

I agree with all of the above.

To put this into perspective, I am a male weighing 175 pounds and I eat 4 times more than you per day to lose weight. you can not maintain life at 500 calories...

i eat by portion size...on the lable...i eat breakfast lunch and dinner so i think i need a more calorie rich food...

Noooooo .. you need to eat more healthy food.

A portion size is a GUIDELINE not hard and fast rule. You need to eat more calories, and that means that in many cases you can eat more than a single portion.

Add some fruit to your breakfast and maybe some yogurt with your cereal. Or a couple of scrambled eggs for protein.

Add some protein to your snack. Have the clementines and a couple of pieces of string cheese. Or a serving of almonds for some healthy fat.

Add some veggies to your lunch, not just a hot dog and bun. Have a big salad or some veggies and dip or something like that.

Have another afternoon snack - an apple, some veggies, a cup of yogurt, something.

Ditch the whole "don't eat after 4" thing - there's no reason for it. And have a HEALTHY dinner, not just a cup of soup. There's nothing wrong with soup, but pair it with a healthy salad. Or have some grilled chicken or fish with veggies and a grain of some kind - brown rice, quinoa, oats, couscous, something like that.

Have a snack after dinner - some air popped popcorn or some low fat yogurt.

Dieting doesn't mean starving yourself. If you continue to eat so poorly you will damage your metabolism and stall out your weight loss.
