Could someone experienced please check my diet?

Hi guys,

I'm a long time spectator of the site. Just a few details about me
Age:24
Weight: 80kg
Height: 176cm

I have started this new diet for the new year and I am getting mixed opinions from friends...I would like to confirm that what I am doing is right?

My meals consist of the following (with approximate calorie values)

Breakfast 7am
Egg + fish Sandwich = 360 cal

Lunch 1pm
Pasta = 450 cal

Snack 6pm
Apple = 80 cal

Total = 890 calories.

In terms of excercise i go for a jog for 30 mins every other day. I also do crunches and set ups every other day.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Horrible. A diet that low in calories will lead to a fucked up metabolism and little to no weight loss in the immediate future.


Read the stickies in this section.

You're only going to do yourself damage on that kind of diet!

My girlfriend is losing a little bit of weight ready for our wedding and bearing in mind that she's only 5ft and 67kgs, she still eats more than you in order to get a 2lb weight loss each week!!

Thank you very much for your advice guys...From reading some threads on here in the past I was under the impression of the simple equation "Energy in = Energy out"

My diet was so low in calories because it was based on the above equation...however it seems it is a little more complicated than that.....I will certainly read up on this a lot more on this site...some of the links in the sticky thread do not work, can someone fix this?


Thanks!
