Eating + Weight

[mike475]

About 2 weeks ago I realised that I was like eating when bored kind off, not majorly though. And since then I've only actually ate when I'm hungry. So it was

Breakfast (sugar puffs + added sugar)
Break (banana)
Lunch (sandwich)
Dinner (whatever mum cooks)
and some times a chelsea bun later.

This week I've been on half term, so I havnt stuck to the thing above, but I havnt gone for like biscuits and that all the time. However I look like I've actually put on weight, and the scales show I've gone up nearly half a stone (in the first week I lost half a stone); but overall I'm heavier then I was before I started this thing.

In the morning I do 21 push ups and 21 sit ups and a minute on 2 x 5kg hand weight things.

Can anyone try to explain please why I've like put on weight yet I'm eating less?

Cheers

muscle is heavier than fat i think, so you've probably gained more muscle.

Scientists say you can gain weight due to stress?

And, you should do excersise when you've had sugar, otherwise sugar turns into fat.

What's the point in trying to eat less and perhaps lose weight if you're going to add sugar to what you eat? :S

Good point, cut down on sugar and it'd be ok..

you may be eating less but what you're eating is high in calories and saturated fat

can you explain clearer please?

what exactly are calories and saturated fats?

[Jay.]

Your eating too much unhealthy things.

Too much sugar.. You've gotta cut down on the bad things.

Sometimes if you dont eat alot your body stores fat and its harder to burn off x
