Hi everyone!!
New to this app and have been hitting gym for last 8 months, really need diet advice as that's my downfall and halting progress! I had PT for six months but he didn't get my long working hours and fact I was so hungry following his nutritional plan!
So here's my dilemma
I work long hours as a nurse, I get up at 0430 and walk to local train etc ( 30mins ) and get to work for 0700, I start my day with black coffee and porridge however usually add toast peanut butter too as so hungry, I then have lunch at wrk typically egg/tuna salad with pudding , tea I have jacket spud with tuna again, I snack so bad! I do try and have fruit but sometimes it's impossible as I need sugar hit-I work till 8pm and it's BUSY! My PT suggested upping protein which I did try however only have access to microwave , I'm not budging weight despite going to gym three times a week doing cardio and majority weights/strength traing, my weight is 62kg I'm 5ft5 , my legs and arms are mega toned-it's my stomach that's the problem area !
I ve seen posts on meal prepping and feel this is what I need to do-but no clue where to start!
Any advice massively appreciated!

Start by calculating your TDEE. Subtract 20%. That is how many calories you should eat per day.
Log everything you eat in the app. Stay under your calories. It really is as simple as that and it works.
