Hi all!

​

I am new to the weight loss journey and I m hoping you folks can help me better understand what I should limit and what I should eat more of. I dont know a ton about calories, carbs, protein, sugar, etc but trying to learn.

​

I am a woman in my mid 30's who has always been quite thin. I quit vaping a few years back and I have gained a fair bit of weight since then (went from pant size 28 -31). I do yoga ocassionally and go on a ten minute most days, a few longer hikes each year, but generally I dont have a consistant excercise routine.

​

I typically start my day with a coffee with two sugar and two cream. For breakfast I'll typically eat eggs on corn tortilla, ricotta or cottage cheese& tomato on toast with olive oil and viniger drizzle, or maybe a Tim Hortons breakfast sandwich or muffin (more than Id like to admit). If we go out for breakfast I almost always get eggs bennedict with bacon (maybe once or twice a month).

​

I often skip lunch or eat breakfast late morning/early afternoon but when I do eat lunch, Ill typically just have a cucumber sandwich with mayo on sourdough or Ill grab sushi with salmon.

​

For dinner we typically eat a protein (chicken, fish, or pork) with either brown rice or potatoes and a vegetable side (either a salad, brocolli, asparagus, mushrooms& onions, etc). Ill have pasta maybe once a week and we make our own pasta sauce and try to add plenty of veggies. Sometimes we will eat out and ill get like a fried chicken burger, chicken shawarma, Thai curry, or something of that nature.

​

I try to have healthy things to snack on like dates seeds and nuts. I like popcorn once a week or so. I dont drink pop or alcohol very often. We dont eat much red meat but will have occassional burger (maybe once pr twice a month).

​

What should I get rid of and whag should I add more of?
