Honestly it sound like too little. Here are some other great food optionsBreakfast:1/2 small bagel with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter2 slices of mulitgrain toast with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter 1 cup of cold cereal (with 5 grams of fiber or more) with skim milk.GrapefruitBananaOrangeScrambled egg whitesYogurtLunch:Have a salad or a vegetarian soup with your watermelon and rice cakesDinner:Be sure to include lots of fresh veggiesTips: don t eat the same thing everyday you ll get bored and it will be hard to stick with your diet. A glass of milk is 8oz (1 cup) not the whole big glass, 1200 calories a day is a good number to plan your menu around. Keep a food journal, keep track of what your eating/drinking, what time and how many calories/carbs/fats/protein your getting. Remember to drink lots of water. Don t completely cut out fat your body needs it to break down certain vitamins and minerals. Also be sure your getting enough protein (cheese, eggs, peanut butter, beans). It is possible to lose weight and not feel like your starving your self :)Once that 25 min of walking feels easy, up it a little or start running. Biking, swimming and rollerblading are also great (and fun) excersises.Good Luck :) and have patience.BTW: check out this website put up by the USDA. It has many great tips for healthy eating and losing weight. http://mypyramid.gov/
damn that s a little food. i d fall over if i ate that little. eat healthily and exercise more. walking won t do anything...you ve got to get your heart rate up. aerobics, jogging, punchbag and gym circuit. but don t start off hardcore and die or something. lol. but you ve got to sweat a lot and get your heart rate up. no you aren t eating too much with this diet....you re 16 you shouldn t be cutting calories too drastically. being a vegetarian, you need more protein to grow properly...being a vegetarian is dumb in my opinion.
Glass of skimmed milkslice of wholemeal breadGlass of pure apple juiceYou need to add more protein. Eggs, high protein cereal (like Kashi), quinoa, even canned tuna are good examples of what you could have for breakfast that have protein. (I don t know if you re a vegetarian that eats eggs and fish or not. Some are.)lunch : glass of skimmed milk, 3 small slices of water melon 2 low fat low calorie salt and vinegar rice cakesGlass of pure fruit juiceAgain more protein. Beans are good (chickpeas, lentils or black beans). Keep in mind that rice cakes and watermelon are high in the glycemic index (http://www.glycemicindex.com/) and should be eaten before or after exercise.Dinner - small quorn burger - 69 calories with a 152 calorie wholemeal bun with lettuce, small amount of onion and tomatoGlass of skimmed milkAdd more vegetables. Broccoli, red pepper, carrots, green beans, etc.Small fruit salad of red melon strawberry and apple with small amount very low fat natural yogurtMake sure the yogurt is low sugar. You could use plain then use honey, maple syrup or stevia to sweeten.Overall you should be eating more protein and vegetables but keep it up. You ll get there. Good luck.
