Diet tips, low metabolism?

I have a low metabolism and no matter what I do I can't lose weight. Lately I've been eating less for lunch and breakfast because all I'm doing is sitting in a chair waiting for class to be over, I don't really have time to excercise but I do have a excercise bike sitting in my corner that I can use, its just so boring. So any advice on what I can eat and stuff?

PS the only veggie I like that's not like corn or potato is spinach. And I hate salad dressing so I eat like dried strawberrys and almond flakes on it



Answer on Diet tips, low metabolism?



Exercise:

I have lost 35 pounds and kept it off for a year and a half. I recommend running for at least twelve minutes a day, also if you want a really good workout, bring 3 pound weights for each arm and run with them. You can burn twice as much calories by doing so.

Diet:

My most helpful tip for a healthy diet is to ALWAYS have something in your stomach, and never let yourself go hungry. This helps speed up your metabolism, so you burn more calories easily. I know some people may say to have a big breakfast. However, if you have too much for breakfast, you can stretch out your stomach and then end up eating more than you thought you ate. If you are about to burn lots of calories, I recommend you have a reasonable amount of calories and protein for breakfast. If you just sit around all day, I recommend you just have a small breakfast, and have small- but nutritional snacks. Such as: weight watchers ice cream sandwiches and popsicles, non-fat yogurt, PRETZEL m&ms (I like these because they only have 150 calories, and 5 grams of fat), ice cold water, rice cakes, hard boiled eggs (w/o the yolk), slices of mozzerella cheese,and sugar-free gum. (I like to have gum when I have had too many calories that day and I can't afford to have any more calories, so I just have gum which is only five calories.)



Extra Tips:

Avoid mayo, olive oil, butter, and peanut butter. These foods are really great ways of getting fat really quickly. Always count your calories, and ALWAYS check the labels on everything you are about to eat or buy. If there are no labels on it, and you know it is known as being bad for you, then stay AWAY from it.

Hope I helped (:
