Who is trying to make you eat anything? Merely pointing out that it doesn't seem like a very sustainable plan long term and that you seem to think that it's the only way you can lose weight because this appears to be what your PT has told you.
The first few weeks of a restrictive diet are often a "honeymoon" period you have motivation and feel great, then it wears off, do you think you'll feel the same in 3 months, 6 months, a year?

"Clean" is subjective. And it's terminology that PT's use to get you to think it will lead to weight loss. You can eat "clean" and gain weight. Eating a burger patty from McDonald's and fresh organic ground beef of the same weight and fat content ISN'T distinguished by the body. All it does is break it down to it's simplest form for absorption (amino acids). Now WHOLE FOODS do hold more nutritional value and many times are less calorie dense, but don't let that whole "clean" eating fool you into thinking that's your cause for weight loss. It still boils down to calorie deficit. Not mention, like any other "diet", unless you're WILLING to eat that way for life, you're likely to regain when you get to indulge in the foods that aren't "clean" again. It's a typical cycle I've seen over and over again in the decades I've done this.sflano1783 wrote: »sflano1783 wrote: »I'm in a calorie deficit and I walk 45mins most mornings in a fasted state op here.

Hi mate,
If then can u help me out how much should I be losing each week for fat loss without risking losing muscle before my clean diet I was eating normal foods and some junk like chips etc but only lost 1kg per month in total 8kgs in 8 months straight. So I was thinking of trying to speed up my fat loss as its taking too long for me.0 -
Just wondering as there's no fruit or veg recorded in your diary for at least the last week, do you not bother to record, or do you not eat them? Not getting at you, just interested how this works if you're 'eating clean', as generally I've seen fruit & veg make up a major part of a 'clean' diet?2

Worth recording them as it's still a calorie intake and a whole load of important nutrients.

So you're losing 0.51lbs a week.
The answer is that you're dealing with a continuum.
Given the exact same exercise stimulus, the more untrained, male, younger, smaller deficit and with sufficient fat reserves, the more likely you are to build, or retain muscle.
Most of these you cannot change.
You CAN change your exercise stimulus (both programming and intensity/application) and your deficits and their relative balance.
How to best do so is individualized and constrained by the fact that it also has to work for you, the individual, even if theoretically it becomes less than optimal.0 -
Case in point. Most bodybuilders follow "bodybuilders" advice even though much of it is anecdotal.sflano1783 wrote: »sflano1783 wrote: »sflano1783 wrote: »I'm in a calorie deficit and I walk 45mins most mornings in a fasted state op here.

Good news on the weight loss.
But seriously often personal trainers are the worst source of bro-science imaginable. Unless they have taken additional training in nutrition they really should stick to helping people with their exercise - that's what their PT qualification is actually all about.
I congratulate you on your aim to eat better but I really do fear that your are being dragged into pointless worm holes of fasted cardio and clean eating.
My pt is a bodybuilder and he does compete in bodybuilding shows

Longanisa is HIGHLY processed with nitrites and MSG. And if you didn't know it, the 6 meals a day was actually set up so that bodybuilders could gain more mass. Somewhere along the way, it was kept in (kinda like how they put functional training into fitness when it was originally created for rehabilitation) pre contest because bodybuilders DIDN'T want to lose mass. Which of course is what you're trying to do.sflano1783 wrote: »

Realize that you're eating less now. And as you lose, you'll even have to eat less than that to continue. Simple mathematics.
And if you thought what you're doing is challenging, if you ever decide to try competitions, 16 weeks of hardcore dieting and training is pretty brutal on the body.
Most big time competitors are classified as having eating disorders due to the amount they eat in offseason, then what they do to their bodies for comps. Part of the reason even competing as a natural, that I stopped competing in the late 80's. And it's even CRAZIER now with all the stupid supplements and drugs bodybuilders indulge in to get a little more edge. So much so that 14 year olds are stupidly taking drugs now for "gainz".

You have a good thing going right now and your intensity is shining through.
It is fairly common for people to get caught up in the honeymoon and fail to plan for the post honeymoon time period. Human nature and all that.
Failing to plan increases the risk of being less able to react to future changes of circumstances
Most people here, as far as I can tell, seem to be suggesting to you that you may want to continue pursuing and pushing for your goals in a more balanced manner and with a more evident understanding of what is cause and what is effect when it comes to your recent successes
When you show such understanding other people become increasingly confident that you're going to be able to react to future challenges.3 -

That's sensible. Now add the veg!
And honestly, listen to the people here who are trying to offer their guidance. They've done what you're trying to do, if you follow their advice you'll get where you want to be and they'll help you avoid the pitfalls along the way.
For what it's worth, there's no science to support 'clean eating', it's just another fad diet regardless of what your PT says. You could stop restricting yourself quite so much and still achieve your goals, and it'd be a whole lot more fun and varied.3 -

Hence my comments about cause and effect, understanding, and acquiring the ability to react to future challenges that may come about due to future potential changes to circumstances....
Meal and frequency timing. Type of food eaten beyond achieving certain basic health related minimums, and perhaps avoiding certain health related maximums, eating breakfast or not, fasting before exercising or not.
At times in this thread all of these have come up as particularly important components to success.
They're not.
They are just tools that can be used to achieve the success that you're achieving by eating at an overall deficit while exercising effectively.
You can use these and other tools and change them in a way that suits your circumstances and still achieve the same results.
The goal is to put you in the driver's seat as opposed to believing that there's some magic voodoo that is bringing success to your life3 -

If you actually care about eating a nutritious diet, eating a lot more veg and probably some fruit is a lot more important than excluding whatever you definite as non clean (which seems to vary by person).4 -
I do cardio and always fuel my body beforehand. It does make me lose weight doing it that way.2

There's NO SET TIME. The body doesn't distinguish times of eating. It just reacts when you do feed. Again if weight loss is your goal, then it's more about your calorie deficit than how many times you eat, what you're eating or what time you're eating.sflano1783 wrote: »

So when am I supposed to eat??
I don't eat traditional breakfast time. My first meal isn't till 11:30am-12pm. I may snack a little after but next meal can be anywhere from 6pm till 9pm. And then I'll snack again till about 10:30pm-11pm. So in reality I only eat 2 "meals" a day with some snacking here and there.
I train at 5am in the morning with walk/run intervals and then when I get home (or the gym if I'm working) I lift for 30-45min. Energy has NEVER been an issue.
And I've been pretty much the same size since I competed back in the 80's.
These were taken a month ago. I just turned 57. My avatar pic I'm 47 so 10 year difference.

How can you possibly hold on to fat if you are in an energy deficit? Going to make up the missing energy from sunlight perhaps?

So when am I supposed to eat??
When you feel hungry, as long as you have calories available; or in meals of larger size less often if that pattern helps you feel more satisfied (some people eat one meal a day because they enjoy really big meals occasionally more than tiny meals often), and they still can lose weight . . . in fact, some of them will claim that the "only one meal" thing is the sole reason *why* they lose weight 🤣).
Some people find that when they eat affects their energy level, so can have more effective exercise sessions if they time their eating in particular ways. Other people find that if they eat too close before exercise time, they get stomach upset during exercise.
Some people find that their eating schedule affects their sleep quality . . . some because eating close to bed time makes their sleep quality poor, or others because being hungry at bed time makes their sleep quality poor.
Eat on any schedule that suits you, for reasons of fullness or energy or sleep quality or . . . anything that matters to you personally. It's pretty individual.
Same calorie level, same long-term weight loss, regardless of schedule. (Next day scale reading may differ on different schedules, just because of more or less food in your system, on its way to becoming waste, at the time of weigh-ins. Long term, it doesn't matter.)3 -

Saved me typing that: Thanks, Lemur!
OP, pretty much all of the authoritative sources on good nutrition are recommending a minimum of 5 daily servings of veggies and fruit. A few, the more forward thinking ones, are now saying that 10 daily servings is better. (Usually a serving is in the 80 gram or one cup kind of range, depending on the source and on food type). Do people eat 10 servings daily? Yup, I routinely shoot for and regularly hit 800 grams or more.4 -

Some people find that when they eat affects their energy level, so can have more effective exercise sessions if they time their eating in particular ways. Other people find that if they eat too close before exercise time, they get stomach upset during exercise.
Some people find that their eating schedule affects their sleep quality . . . some because eating close to bed time makes their sleep quality poor, or others because being hungry at bed time makes their sleep quality poor.
Eat on any schedule that suits you, for reasons of fullness or energy or sleep quality or . . . anything that matters to you personally. It's pretty individual.
Same calorie level, same long-term weight loss, regardless of schedule. (Next day scale reading may differ on different schedules, just because of more or less food in your system, on its way to becoming waste, at the time of weigh-ins. Long term, it doesn't matter.)
Thanks,
Yeah I used to just eat when I'm hungry now I eat every 3 hours it keeps me satisfied and not too full so I'm not going hungry each day with regular meals2 -

Dude, that's total "broscience". Obviously your PT is echoing the "broscience" he/she learned as a gym rat and NOT from medical science.sflano1783 wrote: »sflano1783 wrote: »

Just now ate 3 longanisa sausages, 2 fried eggs and 2 avocados. Will throw in one serving of Philippine dried mangos to finish it off. And still lean.

Nice foods, I eat every 3 hours 6 meals a day
Six meals a day - is that because you enjoy that eating patern or becasue your PT tells you it boosts metabolism?
My pt told me to eat 6 meals a day and every 3 hours or my body will hold onto the fat if I go longer than 3 hours max

There's no reason *not* to eat every 3 hours, if that makes you happy. There's also no reason not to eat on any other schedule, for the same reason. Timing is about preference (based on fullness, energy and whatnot). Calories matter for weight loss, not the timing.
Good nutrition (a characteristic of overall average eating habits over time, not individual foods or their "cleanness") matters for health, body composition, etc.5
