no no..I dont starve..If I starve, how will I be able to do do 45 min of walking..
I cant starve too-I have to take care of the kid and for that I need a lot of energy!!
I am sure I am eating more than 1350 cal that you have prescribed-but in the night I want to reduce the food intake..I make it up during the day..Also I am not feeling v tired and all..but I dont find any major energy boost-thats what I meant..
As such I am not too much of a junk eater and have always been health conscious. but one thing I dint know was eating too much of a good food can also be a hindrance to lose weight(like dhal)..I make it a point to getall the nutrients..
So, dont worry!!!

fruits like banana and apple are v rich in calories. So it is better to avoid them when we are in diet.

Banans have lots of calories... We usually eat bananas at the end of a meal... U would've already taken as much calories as req from the meal & on top of it,if u eat bananas regularly,there r lots of chances to put on weight,unless u burn all the calories u ate...
But it's ok to eat bananas if u r not able to take a meal,say breakfast,due to some reasons(once in a while & not always)...It'll provide u with instant energy...
Anandhi,U can eat apples when on diet...but moderate it...eat it along with some other fruit...like watermelon,grapes etc...& sry,I thought u r going too low on calories...that's the reason i told u that... :)

DAILY Bananas after meal ... no doubt GOOD... for CHILDREN and Adolescents...
... but not for Elders ... DAILY...!!!.... It contains lot of Potassium... overdosage of which will cause Side-effects...
And its Calories are more than Mangoes... So Doctors totally prohibit Bananas for Diabetics...
...whereas permit them to take Occasional Mangoes... within limits... .

We all know that fibre is an important part of our diet...Here's more info on it...
Soluble and Unsoluble Fibers
There are two basic types of dietary fiber: soluble fibre and insoluble fiber. Soluble fibers are those that dissolve in water. Some soluble fiber is very viscous when dissolved and therefore slows down the speed of digestion . Other fibers are insoluble ,do not dissolve in water,and do not affect the rate of digestion. Many fiber-rich foods contain a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber although one type usually predominates.
Although devoid of caloric or nutritional value, food fiber has significant health benefits .Soluble fiber slows down digestion in the stomach and intestines, thus stabilizing blood glucose levels, and may also increase the uptake of minerals and other nutrients during digestion. Insoluble fiber improves health in the intestinal tract by increasing stool volume and stimulating normal bowel contractions thus reducing passage-time through the colon. This reduces digestive complaints like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome .
Good Sources of Fiber
The best sources of fiber include beans, wholegrain cereals (barley, oats, rice), fruits, vegetables and nuts. Sources of insoluble fiber include: wheat, corn, rice, veggies and beans. Sources of soluble fiber include: citrus fruits, apples, mango, oats, dried apricots and beans (like soybeans etc).
How Much Fiber Do We Need in Our Daily Diet?
RDA is 25 g-40 g. About 20-30 percent of this total daily fiber intake should come from soluble fiber.
Eating excessive amounts of fiber is not healthy as this can interfere with the absorption of minerals and vitamins, and also may divert too much water from the cells.
Dietary fiber comprises a group of low-Glycemic Index carbohydrates whose chemical structure prevents them from being digested by humans as we lack the digestive enzymes needed. Therefore, fiber cannot be metabolized to glucose and thus contributes no calories to our diet.Glycemic Index rates the carbohydrate quality in foods according to its immediate effect on blood glucose level. Thus carbs that break down quickly into glucose during digestion, causing a rapid rise in glucose levels, have a High GI value. Those carbs that break down more slowly, are given an Intermediate or Low GI value.

Dev,
