My name is karl im 18 from the UK

I found this site the other day and just wanted to say its great

I need to loose a few pounds as i have got a bit chubby over the last year or two after i started working on a pc full time..

I have read alot of info and feel i am ready to start getting into shape.

Just a few quick Q's

I read that you are supposed to drink alot of water thats ok because i do that anyways. But what i was wandering is about tea and coffee is that ok to drink?

Another thing is i like poached eggs on wholemeal toats for breakfast i have to full eggs would you say this is ok to eat?

Tea and coffee are fine, though obviously you shouldn't drink them as much as water :)

Full eggs are also OK, the yolks contain more fat and calories but for beginners they're still good eatin'.

Don't forget to add a capfull of vinegar when you're poaching eggs it helps the whites stay together :)!

I eat either 2 eggs or 1/2 a cup of oatmeal for breakfast every morning...totally fine, bro.

Welcome Karl. :)

I hear ya, I'm a full-time, sit in front of the PC guy as well.

Tea and coffee are okay, they get bad when you start adding sugar, cream, milk, etc. to them a lot. If you're drinking them straight you should be okay. I believe coffee to actually be BENEFICIAL for fat loss, but I would recommend you consume more water for every glass/cup of coffee/tea you drink.

Another thing is i like poached eggs on wholemeal toats for breakfast i have to full eggs would you say this is ok to eat?
How many eggs? 1 or 2 are probably fine. I'd opt to do 5-6 WHITES and 1-2 whole eggs myself.
