It seems logical actually what you are doing. Plenty to eat throughout the day, which is the important part! Maybe one more tiny treat just before bed.

Breakfast is really your most important meal. If you want one larger meal for the day, breakfast is when to do it. Don't worry about the breakfast being too big. I'm always hungry first thing in the morning, and it gets my metobolism going for the rest of the day!!

Good luck.

That sounds like a totally tasty and healthy breakfast!

um no?

just have 2 weetabix with milk, or a hot cross bun with a yoghurt - soo much easier than those exact measurements.

too many carbs and not enough protein, all meals should be protein based to keep insulin levels stable.

Nooo...... a good way is to, for breakfast, eat a big one, a medium sized lunch, and a small dinner. :D

I really like the sound of your plan here, sounds realistic. 300 per meal providing its healthy food sounds really good

nice one ;-)

it really just depends on how much you need to eat.

that would be a HUGE breakfast for me, cuz i'm tiny & don't eat that much at one time.

lv is right, trade something for a whole egg or two in the morning. Protein is essential and females are notorious for not eating enough. the minimum is 1 gram per pound of bodyweight but going higher is better. divide that by how many meals you eat in a day. The frequent meals are good and you are on the right track. 1500 calories might be a little low unless you are a petite girl. try not to go more than 500 calories below maintenance. Overall though this is a great diet plan compared to what most people do to themselves on this site

That is great. have a healthy snack before you go to bed such as a small apple, carrots sticks, baby carrots or something else. Don't forget to drink water 8-8 ounces glasses of water daily.

Too many people are overly focused only on the number of calories consumed. Though it's important to know how many cals you're getting, it's equally if not more important to get your cals from all macronutrients (proteins, carbs, fats). Your food choices are pretty good in the example you give for breakfast but there's not much protein there, mostly carbs which will be detrimental for fat loss. There should be an equal if not more amount of protein (try including some egg whites cooked in olive oil and save the almonds for a good snack later in the day).

Looks like you're roughly on the right track (without knowing what your other meals are composed of) with your diet, just could use some tweaking.
