TBH m8 if you want to lose weight like other people have told you i would eat protein one way or the other in your diet as even though your losing weight this will help keep your original muscle, not only that protein helps slow the digestion of carbs according to muscle and fitness mag which will again lower the GI of the foods that your eating, which will stop your insulin being spiked as much thus resulting in more fat being burned rather than being stored!

As for your diet for breakfast try having something as wholesome as oats which is lower in GI and will keep you fuller for longer also!

Again with one of your meals you said that you would be having jacket potato beans and cheese, with this i presume you mean having baked beans e.g Heinz or something TBH i would avoid these as even though beans their self are good for you the sauce they are in is not it has a lot of sugar and also added salt which you want to stay away from as sugar turns to fat and salt also attracts fat also plus cheese is not the best to be having if you want to lose weight!

Like already said on this post i would avoid having all the processed foods that you mentioned as nearly all if not all of these processed foods contain hidden salt and also sugars which in no case will help you lose weight and even if they don't because they are processed that means they will be higher in the GI which again will spike your insulin levels and again make your body hold any fats!

Also try foods that will speed up your natural metabolism like chillies, black pepper, green tea, garlic and other things http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk...metabolism.htm

So I've had a read.

Would porridge for breakfast be better than cereal?

Should I swap the baked beans and cheese for tuna?

Is it neccesary to have varied diet or can I stick to the same foods daily?

You can vary your diet but make sure you go for stable, complex sources of carbs for example oats instead of cereal and mashed sweet potato instead of normal potato or packet mash.

You need more protein so go for lean sources like chicken, tuna, salmon, turkey, pork etc

Here are the photos I said I would post.

Thanks for all the help so far guys I think I am getting the hang of this.

Just get in the gym and train hard. Y would you want to lose fat and then start back at training they go hand in hand. You will burn more fat at the gym than you will sat at home. If you go back to the gym i guarantee that you bodyfat will drop and muscle mass increase if you have a balanced diet. Up your protein lower your carbs.
