Is this healthy for weight loss, please read :o)?!


Question: Is this healthy for weight loss, please read :o)!?
I've just quit smoking so to keep myself occupied I've become obsessed with what I eat, but even with all the "online" tools out there I find it hard to know what is and isn't healthy - plus most of them require money which I can't afford!

So for breakfast I had porridge made with skimmed milk and a cup of coffee with a splash of skimmed milk!.
Lunch was a small portion of last nights left over risotto (risotto rice, mange tout, salmon and some stock) with a salad which was lettuce, 5 cherry tomatoes, portion of cucumber, and 3 spring onions, and half a teaspoon of low fat, low calorie dressing, and a glass of orange juice!.

I also drink about 4 pints of water a day!.

Approx!. how many calories have I consumed!? How many should I have for dinner!? Is this healthy!?
And will I lose weight eating like this!? I normally eat a lot less but I'm feeling hungry due to the cigarette cravings!!!

Thanks

Answers:
Well done for taking the plunge!

That menu sounds very healthy!. As you only had two meals I can't imagine your daily intake being over 1,500 kcal!.

Have three meals a day, porridge is an excellent way to start the day because the food takes longer to digest and keeps you fuller for longer!. Avoid sugary snacks which will give you a quick fix and burn off quickly leaving you craving more and introduce more raw vegetables and complex fibres such as brown rice and seeds into your diet!. Don't be afraid of snacking on some raw carrot sticks and a bit of low fat mayo or a coupleof unsalted nuts!.

You're well on your way and the money you save can be used for treating yourself once in a while for your dieting success!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well done you but watch out for the need to eat all the time
you can not go wrong with plenty of fruit and veg and chicken fish
nibble on carrots when you feel hungry
i would suggest seen your doctor for more advise on the stopping smoking and ask him to refer you to a dietitian for help on
calories and food intake and tips
good luck and well done you Www@Answer-Health@Com

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!. Eating a carb - packed big breakfast is a safe way to losing weight because carbs and proteins avoid the need of fat
