skip the lunch

take a protein shake before bed time :mjpls: 160 g protein

your meals are all right at 20/1 :why:, the fruit isnt necessary. Add more tuna/salmon if youre deadset on fish

i would stick at 1900 cals imo, but you definitely need to increase protein by any means necessary i didnt realize you were barebones'ing it, the protein is MUCH more important than you realize, the fruit is literally worthless(unless you cherish vitamin C and fiber)

also i recalculated your maintenance(i dont remember your age but i put 30 5'10" 173, new maintenance 2400 cals) 1900 imo is a safe bet right now, no need for a 800 cal deficit this far in

Playing with numbers:
Breakfast: 4 eggs, 24 @ 320
Lunch: Tuna Salad, 20 almonds, 33 @ 560
Snack: Chobani, 14 @ 140
Dinner: Salmon, sweet potato, salad, Baybel, 29 @ 570
Total: 100, 1590

That gives me room to do one scoop with 2 cups of almond milk for 22 @ 270

122 @ 1860 :noah:

Somebody vet that for me.

How often do you switch up meals? If I could eat the same thing for say, one week, I'd be straight but by day 3 I'm so bored with it.

edit: Can you swap out the chobani for a shake? If you could do a protein shake that has around the same calories but doubles the amount of protein that would help. Also for dinner how many grams of salmon are you having? You could increase that by an ounce and do half a potato or something.

:manny: the protein has to go up somehow, don't box yourself in to certain meals

If you gotta do protein shake with water so be it, all in saying is you need to shoot high with protein much higher

Not often during the week. I eat the same meal 3-5 during the work week. It's easier and keeps me on point. When I don't have it planned to the T is when I get off track. Weekends I switch up more. I like all of those foods so it doesn't feel forced. I cant remember the ounces but it likely 4-5, basically a 200-225 serving.

For some reason I thought the numbers wouldn't work. I'm going to research powders and make that switch for the Chobani this weekend. That will be a increase of close to 30 grams and Ive got the cals to spare.

Thanks for the input from both of you.

Ok MM Im not gonna lie im confused bruh. Im 23 5'10 and weigh 220, Im trying to get back down to 170175 for now. I cant eat right fo **** and I dont know how to work out properly. I need help bruh. What cardio and weight lifting can I do to start off.

My maintence is 2675 if I did it correctly. I've cut out the bad liquids and stuck to water that is easy. Today I ate 2 homemade tacos at the crib(bad) :ooh:. For lunch I ate a steak and cheese from subway(footlong) 760cal 52g of protein I ate half and saved half for later. I snack on Nature Valley Oat n Honey and **** like that when Im hungry in between meals. Help me out bruh :why:

drink water like its a job :youngsabo: i regularly take in 1 1/2 to 2 gallons a day

try myfitnesspal or loseit to track cals, best bet is to skip breakfast and eat 2-3 larger meals(my personal preference) ala IF style

as far as the lifts, see my profile and read up on Starting Strength. Learning it now will build you up so by the end of the cut you arent a flabby mess but rather a lean foundation on which to bulk on. Cardio isnt necessary but it doesnt hurt. If you do cardio i dont recommend more than 2 days a week, that would take away from lifting and lifting is the more crucial component in ensuring the weight lost is purely fat
