Where do you guys buy free range eggs? I'm sick of being a lazy **** and buying the caged ones locally. Supermarkets seem kinda expensive for eggs?

hello all, would love some advice on my diet for weight loss.
some basic facts: i currently weigh 67kg. 1.72m. want to get down to 56-58kg (how i have always weighed up until 2 yrs ago)...have tried many fad diets but they just dont work and end up piling the pounds afterwards.
so decided on this plan of just eating a balanced diet but reduced...here is an example:
breakfast: banana and 250ml semi-skimmed milk
lung: half sweet potato, mixed vegetable, half can chick pea
afternoon snack: apple
dinner: half pack ramen noodles/brown pasta + egg + cabbage
evening snack: carrot
...aim for around 1200-1500 calories a day
going to go swimming 2 hrs a week too
would this be ok?

Breakfast:
50ml Orange juice
Porridge (half pint milk, sultanas, 100g oats)
2 slices wholemeal toast
Lunch:
2 sandwiches (4 slices bread)
contains lettuce, single tomato, red onion, chicken
Bar of some sort (nutri grain atm)
Banana/orange (will have both in the day somewhere)
Dinner:
Often will mash potato and eat with beans and 3 sausages. Also mash with 2 chicken kievs
A popular alternative is spag bol with 3/4 of a garlic bread.
Sometimes an after disk like cake depending how big the meal was.
These dinner meals will be between 1200-1800 calories
Can have something later too. Moving into a retail full time job (12-8 5 days a week) meals like this seem to be the best way to eat as i only get one 30 minute break in work. I will need to be eating 3000+ calories, probably 3500-4000.
Probably obvious i'm looking to bulk, so i've added about 500 calories on top of what i usually eat really. Considering getting in a bit more say a pre work meal of some sort which is slightly smaller than the other 3 big meals. Any suggestions? anything i can eat more of? etc. anything? am i missing some things i should be containing in my diet too? like certain vits and minerals?
Thanks!

Heh my diet is so bad.
Is the only way to increase the amount you feel you need to eat in a day is by slowly increasing your portions?

So I decided to lose weight finally. I didn't pay so much attention to my looks before but now I'm fed up with all "beuty is inside" songs. The straw that broke the donkey’s back is my last boyfriend who quite openly told me I looked like his mother.
However, there is more. I am addicted to sweets. I can’t live without it. So I found a diet called LOADED GUN DIET and I ‘ve tried this. It’s a combination of exercises and diet. The diet doesn’t exclude the sweets, but keeps them in moderation and they must be consumed only in the morning.
Actually it is called loaded gun diet because trying to lose weight with so much stress caused by giving up on some things that matter so much to you is like carrying a gun in your pocket. It will go off once.
So here is the meal plan
MONDAY
Breakfast
One piece of chocolate cake with fudge (small plate size)
Snack
1 apple
12 almonds
Lunch
Boiled peas without meat, and one cup chickpeas - click for recipe
Snack
1 cup carrots (or celery, broccoli, cucumber)
Dinner
Soya bean burger on a whole wheat bun
Side green salad
TUESDAY
Breakfast
Six chocolate biscuits.
A glass of grapefruit juice
Snack
Three salty crackers with low fat cheese
Lunch
Half a plate of turkey or tuna - on a whole wheat bread with veggies and mustard - click for recipe
1 apple
Snack
A cup of Greek yogurt
A banana or an apple
Dinner
Two chicken nuggets with some onions
(save some nuggets for Wednesday’s lunch)
WEDNESDAY
Breakfast
Two big donuts with sugar glazing and one cup of lemonade
Snack
1 apple
12 almonds
Lunch
Yesterday’s chicken nuggets (five pieces) with half a cup of grilled vegetables
Snack
1 banana
one cup of skim milk yogurt
Dinner
Mushrooms with ginger bread
My result this week
Start – 202 pounds
Now – 199.5 pounds.
Will post update every week.
