Steamed (in colander)
Broccoli
Celery
Mushrooms
Snow peas
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Carrot
Zuchini (total for vegetable around 200 cals and 14 carbs)

Totals for dinner - Calories 413 Carbs 31


Total Daily intake

Calories - 1158
Carbs - 137

I also have -

1 cup of black tea
2 cups of green tea
400 mls of water with 2 x teaspoons of Metamucil (dietary fibre Phsysllium seed)
+ water as needed
1 multivitamin tablet
1 vitamin C tablet


I'm a 6' male, 45 years old very over weight and would say sedentary. Is 1158 calories daily what I should be aiming for?
In 5 weeks I have lost 5" off my belt line, but am worried after doing some reading about that if I don't have enough cals I might be only losing muscle and not fat.

Please any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
