Do you know how much you eat?

[Spiffor]

The difference is that I was well on my way of becoming obese (I had eaten way too much for one weak, and it topped off years of fairly bad habits). My doctor actually congratulated me for returning in the normal weight range.

[Provost Harrison]

Returning to normal weight range? That sounds like a nice idea...

Cereals, kefir, and juice for breakfast: ~500kcal
Swedish hash for lunch: 792 kcal
Minimeal: 120 kcal
Banana: ? kcal
1 glass of iced tea: 100 kcal
4 caviar sandwiches: ~400 kcal

That's about 2000 kcal. Not very hungry today.

On fat- the human body needs fat to run efficiently, so it is a mistake to take fat out of the diet.

That said, you can use vegetable fats like avocados, nuts, or olive oil to get the fat you need. Obviously animal fats should be limited.

I am hoping to lose an extra 7 kg. in the next 6 weeks as well. Then I will be 7kg overweight, as opposed to 20 kg overweight.

Whoah. My doctor complained when I lost 2kg in 2 weeks this winter.

You sound underweight as is.

I'm about to eat a porterhouse steak and a half.

Oh, and I'm underweight.

[Jon Miller]

my general day would be something like

1 package tortellini: ~1500 calories
1/2 jar marinara sauce: ~280 calories
a glass or two of juice ~200 calories

which puts me at ~2k for eating at home

usually

eating out at fast food is often like

Bean Burrito
7.0 oz=198 g
2 Servings: 740.0 calories

but then I eat again...

( I am pretty sure that my tortellini is less then 1.5k per package, and that my sauce is more then 560 per can... but I Think it still comes out to be a bit under 2k for tortellini with sauce)

Your diet seems really low on fiber, and perhaps a bit incomplete of protein (pasta is not complete protein).

Might not be excess calories, but its not a very rounded diet.

[KrazyHorse]

Tortellini is usually filled with cheese, meat or spinach

Beans have protein also.

Today: approximately 0.5 kg beef
2 baked potatoes with margarine
2 glasses iced tea
1 peach

~ 2100 calories today

~1100 calories from fat

Yikes, more than 50% from fat.

[KrazyHorse]

That's what you get when your one meal of the day consists of a huge slab of beef.

Normal days are closer to 25-30%
