If you told me you dont work out, I wouldnt disagree.
If you told me you worked out, Id ask what youre doing wrong.

It's not as difficult as it sounds. You also surely aren't going to buy up the whole grocery store anyway.

Eat an hour or so before your workout and then whenever you are hungry. Create your portions based on convenience and how many calories you have available.

any of these, in proper proportions


also i would recomend the most "whole grain" variety of any carb...
i saw a few things like potatoes and rice, which i would recomend brown rice, and sweet potatoes (for absolute "health")
but for loosing weight/fat, and gaining weight, you should consider calories

Your maintenance is 2000 calories?

Either way, focus on hitting the individual macronutrients more so than total calories.

about 2200-2300... pretty freakin low... lol but it's okay because i can't eat that much... i'd say in a day the most it's possible for me to eat if i'm trying to eat a lot is like 3.5k-4k calories... usually i eat like 2k though and stay the same weight or 1k and lose a lot haha

Do you actually track to determine these figures? Or are they just random estimates?

Assuming you are not running something like a protein sparing modified fast, you are likely catabolizing a bunch of fat-free mass in addition to your fat loss when you drop down to 1000 cals/day.

Glad you use fitday. Next step is to alter your macros based on the given recommendations.

first steps would include

raising protein consumption
raising fiber consumption

if your lifting with any form of regularity you will probably loose fat as long as you stay below 2000 cal

loosing fat as fast as possible is a great way to destroy your physique

take it slow

i like to go about 400 cal below maint, and throw in a little additional HIIT

this usually equates to almost a pound a week
and 4 lbs makes a significant difference in appearance when your below 10%

for yourself, i would try to stay at around 1700cal if your maint really is 2200+/-

thats a 500cals a day
which is over a pound a week if your also doing HIIT, or cardio

but be careful with your macros

50g of protein isnt gunna do it man
and 10g of fiber sounds painful

Better believe it. Just started uni and my diet is in ruins, hardly any fibre and all I can say is I have the runs.
