Hi good guys and gals of Cyclechat,
I am looking to be enlightened by my good friends on what I am doing wrong and why despite my efforts my weight is neither going up or down and I’m not seeing any Noticeable changes to my body shape.
My typical daily diet is something like this;
breakfast is one of these three options
A) bowl of porridge oats and a tablespoon of golden syrup with skimmed milk
B) bowl of bran flakes with a yoghurt of some kind in lieu of milk. Usually onken fat free vanilla yoghurt or an Aldi caramel yoghurt(artisan ones)
C) two slices of toast, one with butter and one with jam.
Thinking the problem here is too much sugar? To try and fill me up I have also been eating a banana and a cup of tea with skimmed milk or a black coffee with 2 sweetness.
For lunch it is usually something carby like pasta or cheese on toast as it’s quick and I am also feeding three children. Think spaghetti on toast, tomato soup with a slice of bread that type of thing.
Tea time usually consists of a balanced meal with vegetables, protein (quorn or chicken or lean sausages as don’t eat beef) and a dessert such as strawberries or tinned peaches and pairs. Occasionally I’ll have some custard with it.
On a evening I’m doing Joe Wicks PE 3 times a week and getting 45mins to an hours riding in twice a week (avg 16mph - 10-16 miles ish).
As my youngest still wakes up in the night I find my belly is rumbling in the evening. A glass of water usually sees me through to 7am when I start the day.
I have a sedentary desk job and throughout the day I have about 5 cups of tea or coffee with skimmed milk.
I’m currently 10st 13 and 5ft 7 with estimated body fat around 20% (mid rift is a bit pot belly) so I am just in top end of my BMI with 4/5lbs to play with. 32 inch waist and a 35 inch hip. I’d ideally like to get down to 10st which is the middle of my BMI.
Is my sugar intake to blame at breakfast and/or too many carbs?
