I want to lose about 50 lbs, I've started exercising an hour a day, eating better, I stopped eating ice-cream and other sweets, stopped eating cookies etc. And the scale (after a month) hasn't budged. I sleep well, I drink half a gallon of water every day, exercise for an hour a day. I count calories in my fitness pal...when I am very realistic and weigh everything in advance the app says I consume about 1600 calories. I just don't know what to do anymore to fix it and lose the weight I need to lose. Can someone help me out and giveme tips?
Example of a usual day in terms of food: Breakfast:
- small cup of plain full fat yoghurt
- 2 cups of diced strawberries
Lunch:
- 2 slices of whole wheat toast each with a fried egg on top.
Dinner:
This changes a lot, but I often make:
- stir fry with rice,
- egg drop soup,
- whole wheat pasta with loads of veggies and only homemade sauces,
- whole wheat tortillas with veggies and chicken in them.
Dessert:
- a cup of a chocolate dessert at 250 calories, I love ending my days with something sweet and this is easy to eat and not too calorific.
Exercise: I have an exercise bike I use, I cycle 30 km on it for a workout and always try to improve my time, I wear a fitness tracker that tells me my heart rate is between 130 and 150 during exercise and if I believe the band I burn between 750 and 800 calories per work out.
I'd be lying if I said I don't have cheat days, on friday night I watch a movie and eat a pint of ben & Jerry's but the low calorie kind at 660 calories a pint.
Where could I be messing up? I think it's my dinners where my portions may be too big.
