Definitely not enough food AT ALL. Like another poster said, try to make your meals as balanced as possible. Breakfast could be overnight oats (50g porridge oats, sliced banana, yogurt and frozen raspberries), lunch could be a chicken salad (plenty of speed and lots of filling power) and then dinner could be fish or meat, potatoes, salad or frozen veg. Having meals that fill you and are as free as possible is the ideal. You're depending a lot on processed food and the muller yogurts are great, but they're sweetener heavy. Try to eat free fruit if you're feeling hungry- mandarins, nectarines, raspberries etc. I often eat bits of ham or even smoked salmon if I'm hungry as well. It's tough at the start, but no wonder you're starving, you poor thing. Get yourself some protein
Just in case it's not a typo cazzer, it's 40g of porridge oats for your healthy b- those extra 10g could add up!0 -

Did your father work a physical job? Was he very large (higher calorie/syn threshold)? Did he rarely hit his syn limit from eating food or non-alcoholic drinks?Hollister11 wrote: »Can anyone explain this?
Originally back when I did slimming world, my folks did it too. My dad never synned beer and drank every night. He lost 2- 2.5 stone in a year.
I'm back on it now 2 weeks, haven't synned beer and have lost 7lb.
If the answer yes to one of those, or even combination of those, then it's very likely that the calories in those beers did not outweigh that amount that he was burning; and that could all very well be the case for you.
Another caveat to this is a very interesting one and often works against the supposed 'science' behind SW, and it's that the human metabolism actually processes ethanol (or drinking alcohol) in a different way to how it would process food, for example.
I'm not totally familiar with the science supporting this, but generally the calories consumed through having a drink - while numerically it might contain a certain about of calories - is not the same as consuming the same amount of calories, but in food form.
How this translates to the body is volatile but it can often mean that beer won't add as much weight as people think, but this is not always the case. Obviously moderation is involved here of course; after all, there is such a thing as a beer belly. And to be honest I avoid booze if I can because otherwise it might complicate things (as hard as that is). 0 -
