    Try cutting out the mashed potatoes :smile:

    Why?

    You eat animal products for every meal. You are destined for a slew of cardiovascular and colorectal diseases.

    Also drink gallons of water before breakfast because you are dehydrating yourself at every meal.
    You're kidding right? Please Do NOT be serious.

    If I switch to mashed sweet potato is that better?
    (I'm slightly addicted to potatoes lol)

    One last piece of advice. As much as I hate to admit it, take a look at the time people have spent here on this site. Take a look at the weight they've lost. Take a look at the number of posts they've made. If they're just starting out like you, chances are less likely that they are going to be giving solid advice. For example, the suggestion of cutting out mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are fine, just don't let it compose a huge amount of your overall daily intake.

    Pay attention to the people who have been successful long term. Not random comments from people who just watched Dr Oz for the first time.

    Mashed potatoes are fine if they fit in your calorie goals. If you like sweet potato better, fine. If not, don't worry about it.

    OP if you're talking strictly weight loss eat whatever you want that fits in your macros and you will lose weight, It would be ideal to fit it with foods you like to avoid binges.

    2.5 is too unrealistic a goal, trying for 1.5 or 1 lb would be better even if you're very over weight.
