Need to be eating way more than 3 times a day...

I eat 8 personally, but normally people eat 6.

Given by your other thread i'm guessing you are trying to cut fat.

"Morning - Scrambled egg & toast (wholemeal bread), or weetabix & orange juice or milk."

How many scrambled eggs? You need to get at least 40 grams of protein in on this meal. This mean 2 or 3 whole eggs, + 6 whites, on 2 slices of toast....


lunch - tuna mayo sandwich or cheese sandwich, 2 bananas. milk, orange juice.

Too much fruit, fruit contains fructose (fruit sugars), which is fine in moderation but should be avoided if trying to lose weight. Lose the orange juice.

Dinner - Pasta & sauce or Jacket potatoe or chicken, meat & boiled potatoes etc.. milk, orange juice.
snack - banana.

Pasta and sauce on its own has no protein. You need meat meat meat! Tuna, chicken, beef etc. Drop the orange juice. If your trying to lose fat then IMO, no pasta or potatoes, drop it for vegetables only, preferably broccolli, absolutely lose the banana.

-3 meals is not enough. Split the 3 meals in half and eat them over 6 different equally spaced times between waking up and going to sleep.

-Hit 30 - 40 grams of protein per meal

- No carbs past meal 3 if cutting fat ( or keep it to a minimum, or just fibrous carbs like salads and green vegatables

-Too much fruit will hinder fat loss.

-I recommend taking a protein powder to boost your protein.
