Hey, /fit/. I'm 158cm and 60kgs (132 lbs, 5'2") and I'm female, 18 years old. I know I'm a little overweight, and as such, I'm trying to cut down.

My initial problem was, I only ate 1-2 meals a day (dinner, sometimes lunch), and even though they were healthy meals (I think so, at least -- see below), they just weren't enough apparently. My friends all suggested that I had to eat more, so now I'm eating:

Breakfast: cereal (weet-bix, fruity bix, crunchy nut or milo cereal generally), glass of milk
Lunch: cheese/lettuce sandwich or tuna sandwich, lite fruit yogurt, 1 green apple, multi v juice box
Between lunch and dinner: a muesli bar, another green apple
Dinner: rice + scrambled eggs or lean meat/cabbage/salmon or tuna fillets/whatever my mum cooks (generally healthy save for the special occasion)

I just switched to this kind of schedule a month ago, and though it doesn't seem like anything has happened to my weight yet, I've grown about 2-3 cms (1.18 inches) very suddenly. I don't have any cravings and I never feel hungry, but I've forced myself to eat proper meals, anyway.

The question is: should I be expecting any more effect on my weight or height?

-Egg (whites) in breakfast, if you don't like the taste throw them in the cereal.
-get rid of fruit juices, add 5 liter of water

You forced yourself to this? wtf! what did you eat before?

Got it. I don't mind egg whites at all, so that should be perfectly fine.

I used to only eat maybe, a tuna sandwich for lunch and a small bowl of rice (small as in, maybe the size of my hands cupped together) + a tiny bit of beef or lamb for dinner.

Oh, between lunch and dinner, I also tend to snack on a whole bowl of frozen blueberries, maybe twice or three times a week. Is that too much?

Snacks are good but they should have some carbs and protein with good fats. almonds, walnuts, get some granola bars if you are lazy.

Although your meals (sandwiches) are like snacks for me so i don't know.. I prefer to cook myself things like homemade cookies with oatmeals also muffins.

Check your cereals, how many grams of sugar do they have? Most have appalling amounts, like, 15-20g or so, and a lot of the time they sugar comes from high fructose corn syrup. So, many healthy seeming cereals are made from refined carbs and filled with sugar.

Try eating a breakfast cereal that is made from whole grains, first ingredient, or bran. Not "enriched or refined," those are bad and get converted right to sugar really quick and leave you feeling hungry.

Same goes beyond cereal too, cut out refined grains and high fructose corn syrup and you'll be doing yourself a huge favor.

Also, watch your "lite" yogurt, it's probably loaded with sugar. I bought some non-fat yogurt the other day without reading the label and ONE serving had 33 (!!) grams of sugar in it.

Rice for dinner? If it's refined white rice or whatever, or any "quick cooking" rices it will be converted straight to sugars and are bad bad bad!

Some good lean meats are pork tenderloin, chicken breast, obviously, and many white fish such as cod, tilapia, etc. Salmon and tuna are good as they have many beneficial fats, more so than their white-fish counterparts.

eat more, grow up- body evens out. You probably stunted your growth eating like an artard before.

food is your friend. sitting on your ass all day getting tubby is not.

If you grow to say 165, 60kg is fine weight.

she's past the point of any more vertical growth, you fucking retard.

also, how much salt is OP eating? you could be bloating yourself by retaining lots of water. also no healthy change in diet is going to make you lose weight fast. you have to work out too.
