Hi everyone. I just need some help regarding nutrition and my diet. I'm 24, 5"3 and weigh 63 kilos. Over the last 6 or so months I have put on about 6 kilos and I would definitely like to maintain where I am and not creep up any further, if anything I wouldnt mind getting back down to 60. I also am quite lean except for around my stomach where I have a huge pot belly even though I don't drink. I do 4 RPMs (spin) a week, 2 weights sessions and sometimes a pump as well with one rest day.
I used to have a 'cheat day' but I have a feeling this is what is causing the gain as I tend to go a little crazy but that is because I get to the point where I am so hungry from all the exercise I do and just binge on crap. I sometimes dont feel hungry but I get lightheaded and grouchy. By the end of the week my workouts are a struggle because I feel so deprived and I need that 'binge' to get me going again. At the moment my diet looks like this
Breakfast: 65 grams of muesli, tub of low fat yoghurt/ Weekends two pieces of toast with peanut butter
Morning tea: Carmans muesli bite
Lunch: Small wholemeal breadroll with 65g turkey, piece of low fat cheese, small banana.
Afternoon tea: 130g strawberries
Dinner: 160g chicken/steak etc with a salad and baked beans
After Dinner: Glass of milk
So I was thinking that if I incorporated more healthy food into my diet I wouldn't need a "cheat day" as I would be satisfied. Any advice?
