Thread: Need Some Advice if in the right direction

Hello Everyone. I would really love some advice if I am going in the right direction. Here is a little bit about myself. I am currently 33 230lbs about 6 foot 2. I had recently been out of the gym for close to a year due to sports injuries on knee and ankle. I had surgeries and had both corrected. I was back in gym with a walking boot lifting upper half only, and doing eliptical. This was about 3 months ago I dropped from 246 down to 230. While I was in the gym a year ago I was not in good shape. I was not fat, but no dedicated to diet, and was still partying on weekends. Between 22-25 I tried lots of gear ate very clean and I looked great. As I got older I stopped with the gear and ate what I want but still exercised but not at all dedicated.

So now I am kind of stuck as far as the scale is concerned. I am probably 20-25 pounds over weight. Most of it being in my stomach and chest. I am doing hitt 4 times a week, and eating clean but I am not loosing weight.

Here is my diet

I switch up meats between chicken, skirt steak, chicken chopped meat, pork tenderloin, lean beef, turkey bacon. Salmon only in sushi. Otherwise I despise fish to which sucks.

Breakfast is the same everyday as I do not like eggs

2.5 scoops of whey 1/2 fat free milk 1/2 water with 1/ oats

chicken breast asparagus/ sweet potatoe

chobani yogurt before gym

shake after gym 3 scoops of whey 1 cup of milk

96% lean beef 1 tablespoon ketchup 1/4 avacado 1 piece turkey bacon

casein protein before bed 2 scoops

I never counted calories bc I was losing weight so I was not conerned, but not sure if I should lower it.

BTW my legs are pretty thin do to recovery, and I am totally top heavy. My arms look good, but every where else I have a nice layer of fat covering my muscle.

Any advice would be appreciated

Whatever food counts program you use doesn't matter - the point is to get a reality check on what you're actually eating right now. Since you're used to eating what you eat, this will help to associate calories / macros w/ the portions you're eating. It becomes easier to make smaller tweaks where what you're doing now is not optimal.
