    I think that is very good, but don’t eat a HUGE bowl for a snack. It may be fruit, but eating large portions may not be good. Also eat enough to calories to balance with the ones you burn. You don’t want to get sick.

    Many of the food choices here are good, but caloric intake is way too low. If your caloric intake is below your BMR, or basal metabolic rate, this forces your metabolic rate to lower and fat loss becomes nearly impossible, and this is why people gain it all back and then some after yoyoing.
    All meals should be protein based, meaning every meal should have protein in it. There are a lot of carbs here, though fruit is very healthy if fat loss is the goal then the intake of fruit should be limited due to the fructose content of fruit.
    The same goes with the whole wheat pastas and bread; though we have been brainwashed by the corporations that whole wheat breads and pastas are healthy, nearly all of them are highly processed and will cause a big insulin spike. You’re better off having a whole grain you have to boil for an hour, such as brown rice or barley.
    A diet high in protein, moderate in healthy fats and with low GI carbs is optimal not only for fat loss but for good health – there is way more to fat loss than simple cals in v. cals out. Though I understand normally you have more than 862 cals/day, eating like this for a few days is a bad idea.
    The quality of foods is every bit as important is the amount, and you probably know this judging by the good food choices you’re making. Just increase the cals to your BMR at least (you can get a rough estimate of your BMR with online calculators), increase the fiber and low GI carbs by incorporating more veggies and whole grains, add protein to every meal (one egg white is good but insufficient, try having 3-4 instead and cook them in some olive oil). Be careful of yogurt as most of the brands contain lots of sugar. And don’t starve yourself, it’s not necessary and unhealthy!
    Good luck!
