Hi all

been looking at what i eat throughout the day to see why my weight loss has stayed the same these last couple of weeks

i am on 33 pp and i use these as follows

breakfast - 6pp
lunch - 10pp
dinner 17pp

between each meal i snack on lots of fruit.

does this look all right to you all or am i eating too much for dinner how do you all spread your points throughout the day
 
Without seeing the finer details of a days intake it is difficult to assess.
So are you saying that the only things that pass your lips other than meals and fruit are within those points?
Do you never have an unaccounted cup of tea or a snack that isn't fruit.
When you say you have a lot of fruit, what is a lot?
What are you drinking throughout the day? Have you never gone over your points during the week. How many of your extra pp have you had?
 
U cud be eatin too much fruit, my leader said last week that the previous week they had a talk and anyone who was eating lots of fruit cut back the following week and started losing again, she had said that even though fruit is zero points it still has calories and shud only be eatin if u are hungry and not just for sake of eatin something.. suppose it makes sense xx

i only use my weekly points for milk for my tea each week so max 10 weekly's other than that i have water norm about 2litres a day.

yes no other snacks apart from fruit i normally have a banana with breakfast apple morning snack and 4 satumas afternoon snack. the crisps i have are 2pp which i have with my lunch each day but this is included in my 10pp same with a cereal bar i have 2pp

have never gone over my points

the only other food i would have is ww jelly for pudding each evening.


this is why i'm looking for help i feel i have been eating well no sweets/treats at all apart from chicken kebab once a week on weigh day but all pointed for i have even cut out butter and use philadelphia to butter my bread with

can you write down an example diary of last week? What you ate every day and quantities? I can't guarantee we can help you, but a lot of heads think better than one!

Ditto above. It is also estimated that people under report up to a third of what they have actually consumed. It may be worth for a week writing everything down BEFORE you eat it. 10 pp for milk for a whole week doesn't seem that much to me unless you are only having a couple of teas a day. Do you measure it and are you religously weighing everything even though you may feel you know what say 28gms of philli looks like. Are you eating lots of veg and bulking your meal out with good quality fuel? Just some ideas
