A little bit about me.

christianroberts2011

I'm male. 30 years of age. 198lbs. Want to lose about 30lbs. 5ft9. A newbie. I quite smoking last year and put on a couple of stone in weight. I use to eat what I wanted but now I want to change that. The thing is when it comes to healthy eating and knowing what to eat I get unstuck. So I could use a little help or nudge in the right direction with meal plans and which foods I should eat and macros. Anything is appreciated.
