I've lost a lot of weight over the past few months with dieting and vigorous exercising. Now, I want to follow a healthy diet that will become my permanent lifestyle. I do different workouts 5-6 days a week for at least 40 minutes and I try to be as active as I possibly can. I'm currently 5 feet 4 and weigh 100-102 pounds. I was wondering if anyone would suggest a healthy eating plan for life long weight management. Currently, this is what I eat:
Breakfast: Boiled veggies, 1 boiled egg and 2 maida roti
Snack: 1 fruit
Lunch: White rice, with vegetable and spinach curry, chicken/fish curry and lentil curry
Snack: Chicken vegetable soup
Dinner: Same as lunch, just smaller portions
Post workout: Soy milk and strawberry shake, no sugar
Sometimes, I eat too many sweets and chocolate deserts all at once, however I don't gain weight (Just water weight for a few days and then the scale returns back to normal). I also overindulge in biscuits way too often. I was wondering if there were healthier alternatives. By the way, all the curries are cooked with moderate amounts of soy bean oil and I have green tea twice a day. I avoid junk most of the time, but once I start having unhealthy food, I can't seem to stop. (Although I compensate the next day by exercising and eating healthy). I eat 5 hours before going to bed, and I fast maybe once a month. I am pretty health conscious compared to my class mates, but I just want to ensure a good health and growth rate.
So would anyone help me construct a balanced healthy diet or perhaps give me suggestions to improve my current one? And by the way, how many calories do I need per day? Since I live in Bangladesh, I might not be able to implement all your tips, but still I would appreciate it.
