    Hi Parul, planning a diet would be a lil difficult but i could give you a link for sample weight loss chart. This would give you an idea on meal timings and calorie management. This is planned on a general basis, which you could alter according to your convenience. Hope this would help..

    Hi Parul, Breakfast looks good. In Sandwiches, you can choose normal raw veg (sliced/ grated), grated low fat panner, mixed veg sabji kind (saute in very lil oil), plain toast with boiled egg white/ omelette (If you eat). Make sure to choose whole wheat or bran breads. You can opt for Subway Sandwiches too. Some of the other choices could be - Dal chilas, dosas, idlis, Upma, Poha, etc. (you could keep them for weekends)

    * Your overall protein and fibre intake looks very less. Include more of dals/ milk/ egg/ curd/ buttermilk for protein and more of fruits and veggies for fibre.
    * The gap between breakfast and lunch can be filled with a fruit or 2 high fibre biscuits or some sprouts.
    * Keep a variety in the mid meal snacks like high fibre biscuits, multigrain biscuits, oatmeal cookies, Sprouts, steamed dal, steamed corn, bhutta, plain bhelpuri (lot of vegs n no sev), Popcorn without butter, Roasted channa, etc. This way your body does not get used to any particular pattern of food.
    * Keep variety in your main meals too.
    * If possible include dal and veg sabji for both lunch and dinner.
    * Maintain your food timings constant as Breakfast (within 8:30 am), Mid morning snack (11:30 am), Lunch (with 1:30 pm), Mid evening Snack (5:30 pm) and Dinner (within 8:30 pm). This helps your body to manage the total calorie intake.
    * At last, 30 mins of walk is very less. Minimum of 45 mins of workout should be there with warm-up and cool down exercises too.

    Its not a prob at all, but make sure to keep some variety. As mentioned earlier, body should not get used to any particular kind of pattern, especially for someone who wanted to lose weight. Any new food or change of food takes extra time and energy to be burnt down, so keep adding new variety..
