I'm currently 17 years old, and weigh 85 kg which is about 187lbs. I'm obese, plain and simple and I want to do something about it so..
I started to exercise about 3 days ago, and since then have done 45 minutes of exercise on a stationary bike.
I put in moderate effort, on the third day I couldn't do much past 40 minutes (I could push myself to go to 45 but I didn't want to stress my legs out, maybe this is was because the night before I exercised at about half 11 till half 12(at night), and my body is still recoperating as I exercised at half 11 the next day(in the morning)).
I know that exercising everyday is better, but is 5 days fine? Or would it be better to lose weight by exercising every day for 45 minutes. I read that exercising everyday can strain your muscles if you do the same exercise (in my case a stationary bike which works the legs, so ligaments etc? :s)
I calculated that I would burn off 350-450 calories by exercising on my stationary bike for 45 minutes, so what I don't understand is If I eat 1500ish calories a day, how would just burning off 400 make me lose weight, wouldn't I need to lose more than 1500 a day? Can anyone explain this to me? Can anyone give me an insight of how much I would need to exercise to lose weight?
Lastly, about the diet part, this is a typical day from now on, is it healthy enough? I'm obiviously going to cut off from chocolates etc,
Breakfast:
-Cornflakes or Crunchynut & Semi-Skimmed milk
Lunch:
-Baked potato with grated cheese & half a tin of sweetcorn
OR
Brown pasta with plain dulmio sauce
Snacks:
-1 Banana
-1 Apple
-Grapes
-Mango
Won't eat all snacks..only if im hungry.
Dinner:
-Dry chicken roasted in the oven covered(2 fillets worth, says 1 fillet is 197 calories, so 2 is about 400).
Desert:
Strawberry Muller yoghurt (97 calories)
Is that healthy? What improvements could you make, can you reccomend anything healthier? I hate all seafood, nuts, mainly all the good things for me haha
