Wow 500 calories! I'm finding it difficult keeping within my 2000 calorie intake. Do you mind me asking what kinds of food you're eating? 

Hi LazyKiwi. 500 kcal is just the deficit, i.e. 1700 kcal daily intake with my base metabolic rate at about 2200 kcal. I'm eating a whole food plant-based diet. I keep slipping up on the whole foods part quite frequently, because wraps and toast are delicious and it's hard to fry stuff without oil (although possible). Breakfast is always oats, walnuts, flax seeds, and blueberries (hot water added to soak). Lunch is always 2 carrots, 2 tangerines, an apple and a banana. I like to keep lunch light because it weighs me down if I have a full meal. Dinner is always a combination of legumes, vegetables, and leafy greens, with rice, kumara, or toast, etc. If I slip up during the day and have sweets or alcohol, I try to take those calories from dinner (e.g. not having toast, or less). My breakfast and lunch never vary. 

Oh cool thanks for that. Sorry I didn't understand the deficit bit before. You're diet plan sounds really organised. I'm sure it's not always easy or practical to stay strictly on it 100% of the time. Very inspiring. Thank you
