I'm 20,female, have a BMI of 28, I exercise moderately(4-5 times/week 30 min bike to college; +1-2 times/week running -1hr), and I actually enjoy cooking and eating healthy dishes (except red meat). It is not a matter of lacking information or time or a dislike of broccoli, but rather that my habits are really, really bad.

Basically, there are two kind of days:

The one where I get up at 7, and kinda forget about eating food (maybe an apple or something) until 20:00 and later. Then, I typically indulge in a rather rich, carbohydrate binge.. ( huge boal of oatmeal, or pasta), and then, a few hours later, just before bed, I usually eat some veggies..

The other kind of day starts with a breakfeast (yogurt+fruit) at 8, and then something small (like a sandwich) at 14-15 pm, and then I cook something at 20pm (usually trying to mix veggies and protein, or just make pasta)

Unfortunately, the first kind of day happens far too regular (like every second day). If I'm consciously trying to control it, I usually last for a few days and then..
Well, but it's not getting better. It's getting worse.
Today I had nothing until 22pm, and then some crepes my friend left..
It feels like my eating behaviour is spiraling out of control, and I don't like that. I can't really afford professional help, so what do you suggest?

    How badly do you want to change? Because your body may force it upon you if you're not careful.

    You could keep a food journal and write down all the things you eat. If you look at the nutritional value you will see that you aren't giving your body the proper fuel for your lifestyle.

    Oatmeal with flax seeds and blueberries is one of my favorite breakfasts. Add some buttered toast and I'm ready for an active morning.

    Well, eat more beef, fish or something that simply haves more protein. Cheese is also good. Your habits aren't really good, I suggest that you eat atleast one or two sandwiches in the morning, with cheese or some kind of meat. An apple is very little and can make you a little down for the day. Eat more in the morning and you will feel better.

    I do that too. Usually it's the first type of day for me as well.
