Is What Im Doing Healthy

It's day two... Since the first weigh in, the game begins tonight. My weigh -in weight was 79kg (174.1lbs).

I ate alot, and i mean alot of fast food, takeaway. i couldnt go over two days without some yummy hot chips, pizza or whatever is closest. Thats about to change.

Im sticking to my new diet plan, Weight Watchers Convenience Meals... There great. Both healthy and full of flavour. And being on a student budget, there easy and cheap when on special.

This is yesterdays calorie intake with my new diet..

Breakfast - Weight Watchers Beef Hot Pot 203 Calories

Snack - Weight Watchers Caramel Shortcake Baked Bar 87 Calories

Lunch - Weight Watchers Tahi Chicken Curry 336 Calories

Dinner - Weight Watchers Beef Hot Pot 203 Calories (Again..Only cause its yummy)

Yesterdays total calorie intake was 828. Todays Calorie intake after calculating will be 798. I know thats low and the mimimum should be 1200Cal. but im not starving myself, im eating three filling size meals a day with snacks, thats plenty. with a 600ml water with each meal.

It's hard not to just go down the road and get takeaway, but one way to stop myself is just eat one of my meals and the craving just goes away, cause im full.

So far i havnt done any excercise, i like to walk around the block but its been raining the last few days. I also use the Ab Circle Pro, but that is not fun.

This morning i weighed myself, and i was at 77.8kg (171.5lbs)

I love that im losing weight but my issue is now, i might get disquailified for loosing to much in one round. In the time span of 48hrs ive dropped 1.2kg (2.6lbs).

I'm not sure how healthy my diet plan is for my body. AM I DOING MORE HARM THEN GOOD.

I'll second what Lindsay said. 800 calories is very low for your weight (at ~170lbs your body needs about 1600 calories a day just to live off of even if you are very sedentary). Your brain needs fuel to think (and resist temptation!) and if you eat too few calories too long your body will start to break down muscle as well as fat (you don't want to lose muscle!). I think that prepackaged meals can be a great starting point for someone who is on a budget and needs help with portion control, but do try to get some fresh fruits and vegetables in there as well. Good luck!

You cannot loose more than 12% of your weight in any round. That would be over 17lbs for you. I would not eat less than 1000 calories a day. While you may feel fine on day one, the hunger will come which may cause you to binge. Once you start exercising it will be worse. You need to fuel your body. The only warning with prepackage meals is your sodium intake. Just be mindful of that. Maybe put another snack of Apple and string cheese, nuts, or something else healthy and fresh into the mix. It will help curve potential cravings and help you hit the calorie goal.
