[Closed] diet for a sedentary person?

crisps, nuts, pork scratchings?

I think the honest answer Ton, and the one I gave trouble with myself, is portion control

I believe there was a recent study that said one of the most effective methods for weight loss/control was reduction in plate size

whats up ton, off the bike???

Plus up for sale?

Remember to watch the beer too!!

off the bike for at least 4 month
plus is NOT for sale.....disc trucker maybe
cant leave the house for 6 week so beer is off the menu

Hope you're ok and it's nothing too serious.

Stick to a balanced diet, with plenty of fluids (water) but lower your calories significantly (by eating smaller portions) lest you gain loads of weight.

Try to do regular stretches as well.

Full Keto Ton, its your only answer 🙂

marshmallow based foods like wagon wheels and teacakes.

mostly air, so no calories.

^^^ Aeros too.

Prunes - otherwise the painkillers will make you constipated.

Substantially less. Don't be fooled by weighing yourself either as dense muscle gets replaced by flab. You should be losing weight. If you finish the static period weighing the same thats not an ideal outcome. Balance that by need for quality diet to aid rehab.

After my 2012 knee injury I could do very little, weight unchanged but muscle and conditioning loss was meaningful

Very little compared to normal. The hardest bit will be pursuading the brain and stomach that is the case.

Is this for health reasons? Can your GP/hospital give you access to a nutritionist just to give you info on portion size?

Plenty of cod liver oil for that [s]wrist[/s] ankle

Burger toast.

My fitness pal. Log it and stick to it. I did it to work out why I was hungry all the time and combined with an activity tracker it showed I wasn't eating enough for lots of riding and being generally active. On a day when I did nothing if I wasn't careful you could hit your expended calories by lunch.

+1 for My Fitness Pal. It helped me shift weight this year.

Have you already had the op? If not, start cutting portion size now. It will be a lot harder to adjust and self-regulate when you're lying around feeling sore as hell.

Don't underestimate the effect of chewing more.
A LOT more.
Clinically proven that at least 20 chews per side for every mouthful triggers your brain to tell your stomach it is full on average around 80% faster.
Also portion control as above combined with splitting your intake across at least 6 meals.
This will keep your metabolism at a higher rate compared to "three square meals"

+2 for my fitness pal. Fantastic app.

MFP is great if you eat ready meals such like that's easy to log. We eat home cooked food, lots of frozen batch cooked stuff, which is almost impossible to log on MFP. YMMV.

One Shreddie a day, plus multi-vitamins. 😉

it showed I wasn't eating enough

Cheers zilog, your sarcasm needs work... It was balancing the 2 parts and quantifying the efforts. It's also possible to eat too much and still feel hungry. The useful bit was working out how the 2 parts were balancing out.

Apparently sitting at a desk burns around 900 calories a day.
You should look at tasty stuff that hits the spot, sugar free jelly is tasty with virtually no calories.
Low fat Greek yoghurt with honey etc, stuff like this.

sent you an Email Ton 😉

A above, if you can stick with it, mfp is a great tool (not to mention eye opener in the first instance).

I too believe it is mostly connected with portion size, so using mfp properly forces one to weigh portions of things like cereal and freshly prepared meals.

This is my biggest problem (currently need to lose around 4 stone) as I simply eat too much.

I also find that a lot of dieting and eating right is phsycological. For instance if I have toast, i tended to have 3 slices. I did a small experiment and made 5 slices. Ate them all and felt as full as I did after 3. Then the next day made 2 slices and still felt it was enough once eaten.

Seems to be (at least for me) that my brain only says 'ah, that's enough' when the plate is empty - be it 2 slices of toast or 5.

So in a nutshell I'd say logging everything you eat in mfp is the best way to first shock you into realising how much you over eat, and then help bring it to a level (portion size or otherwise) needed for whatever you need to do to your bod.

Pizza.

What's occurring Ton why you not out on your new bike - is it the bendy bars embarrassing you ?

Surely you can get beer by post? 😀

Food will be cold by the time you've finished it.

Google 'Warrior Diet' by Ori, can work well as you only have a 4 hour window to eat, the other 20 hours can be hard to start with (you can eat a few things but sometimes easier not to bother0.

If you can tolerate it will make it bit / lot easier to maintain weight or even loss a bit especially if your unable to do much physical activity at the current time.

at present i eat ton's of protein, veg, salad and not lots of carbs.just carry on the same[/i]

Yeap. Mind the refined and easily digestible carbs. Include animal/fish fat. On a good diet you should self regulate intake quantities.

Not sure why you'll be completely immobile, during your post op recovery, esp after first week.

Good luck.
