Thank you Ez-e I appreciate that man. My diet honestly has been my greatest hinderance to my success with fitness. I have never really taken a conscious and displined approach like tracking my macros or anything like that until recently. So:
Breakfast: 4 whole eggs; 1 cup oatmeal cooked with milk
Lunch:usually a chicken meal with rice and some type of veggie. I do not weigh my food so I don't know how much chicken or rice I'm consuming. Something that will change since I recently bought a food scale.
Snack: this varies but I'll probably have some more chicken or tilapia with rice
Dinner: this varies widely but dinner typically turns out to be a high calorie high carb meal. Again I haven't been very conscious of the nutrients I'm getting. But for dinner I eat out a lot. Pizza, Chinese, chipotle I eat these a lot.
Protein shakes: I'll have 1 to 2 of these a day;whey isolate 25grams protein, 5 gram bcaa, 1 gram fat
Fruits: typically ill have an apple or banana.
Coming up with a diet plan and calculating my macros is my next step. Because I've noticed without coming up with a plan, I have not been able to track progress or really have an idea if I am burning or storing fat. I also never use to do cardio but this week I told myself I will do 2 cardio sessions a week at 300 calories. Thank you for your help
