For me, lots and lots of Tuna fish. I love Tuna Melts all day everyday! I can never get tired of Tuna. On the weekends, I eat junk like cookies, candy bars, Doritos, etc. Also, protein bars and almonds. Tuna gives me plenty of protein. I also eat Hamburger or Tuna Helper, and I drink lots and lots of water.0

I eat a variety of foods within +/- 20% of my TDEE. I aim to get ample protein (at least 1g per lb LBM) and fat (at least .35g per lb of BW). This includes but is not limited to Sausage & Egg McMuffins, Peanut Butter Cookies, and Bacon Cheeseburgers.
^ FTW.
I just aim for the protein and let fat and carbs land where they will each day... some days I'm higher fat and lower carbs; other days I'm higher carbs and lower fat... but as long as that protein target is there I'm golden.
The trick is to eat enough... I'm eating right around TDEE, but then I want to get to where I can eat over to gain muscle... but I still have a little fat to lose. My BF% seems to be dropping despite my weight staying the same.0 -

Just so you know if you eat too many carbs you will store excess water weight. That above to which I have quoted is not such a great idea to just let things lay as they may. Learn how to eat and you will succeed in your goals. :drinker:0 -

If you're within your cal budget, and getting adequate protein fat, you will, by definition not be eating "too many carbs".

Yeah I don't see the big deal. No one is trying to stay in a weight class here.
If you hit the calories and protein for the day, it doesn't really matter much where the fat and carbs fall as long as you're not getting a ton of sugar or something.0 -

This strictly depends on your goals bud! Do you want to gain, lose, or maintain. If I have 3000k and I eat 300+ grams In the way of carbs then I store water.0 -
I hope anyone wondering how to eat who wanders into this thread notices a trend. There's a crap ton of successful people here who eat what they want as long as it conforms to their calorie and macro goals.0

I guess that's the difference. I couldn't care less about water gains & losses. I normally try to focus on muscle gain or fat loss. Water just accounts for day to day fluctuations which don't mean a damn thing - unless you're trying to make weight for an event like the guy above mentioned.0 -

Yeah, they have a weight goal but a couple pounds here or there of water weight makes no difference to anything. It's body mass people are trying to lose.0 -

That was my recommendation. But then aside from lifting I'm an endurance runner, so on a day I'll run 10+ miles I'll eat more carbs... guess that's all I was trying to get at. Depends on the day.0 -
Yet another thing we have in common; though mine are virgin pixies.The blood of virgins.
OP, you don't have to eat so restrictively for fat loss. Check out my diary for the day.0 -

The classic last resort of the brofessor. "My muscles are bigger; therefore you are an idiot."0 -
Whey protein isolate. read about it. I use J robb egg white protein.
It fills you up. I make it with 45 calorie coconut milk and frozen fruit, like strawberries or a banana. try it0 -
I need more guidance in what to be eating to achieve a leaner body. I do weights and getting myself into doing more intensity workouts. I was out for 3 weeks due to a knee injury. But finally it is starting to heal.
Since I started on my weight loss journey, I have been adjusting my eating habits and now this is what I typically eat (more or less):
Mon- Fri
Breakfast:
4 oz plain non fat greek yogurt, 4 oz mixed frozen berries, 10-15 almonds, 1 tbsp coconut flakes, 1 tbsp goji berries
Snack:
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Lunch:
fish, broccolli or homemade chili (pinto beans, onions, garlic, green pepper, black beans, kidney beans, corn), or salads
Snack:
Usually an apple
Dinner:
Green smoothie (2 cups spinach, 1 cup kale, 1 cup mixed berries, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1 scoop of protein powder)
Snack: Depends, a piece of cheese or some almonds.
Sat.-Sun
Varies LoL
Thanks so much!!!

How do you eat the same thing everyday? I just can't do it. I want to so I don't have to work so hard to track calories.0
