I feel like this is a lot but MFP only puts this as 1440 calories. I'm skeptical... I also do heavy weight lifting 3-4 days a week and running 4 days a week. I drink around a gallon of water a day. I fell into a bad routine of eating too few calories so I'm trying to up it to loose fat.


B: 4 egg whites, 1/3 oatmeal, 2 tsp Almond butter

S: Apple 2 tsp peanut butter


Post workout
S: 1 scoop protein powder, 1 cup frozen spinach, 1/4 cup frozen berries, 1/2 cashew milk (smoothie)

L: 1 cup lettuce, 4 oz grilled chicken, 5-6 grape tomato, 1/4 cup cucumber, 1tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp hummus

S: 2 hard boiled eggs, 5 mini peppers or 2stalks celery, 1 tbsp hummus

Din: 4 oz ground turkey, 1/2 cup red/green peppers and onion, 2 tbsp salsa, 2-3 slices avacado, lettuce

Evening snack (if I'm hungry): 1-2 scoops protein powder

    Definitely make sure you weigh out the almond butter, peanut butter, hummus, & avocado since they are all extremely calorie dense (and you could easily add hundreds of calories a day if trying to eyeball/spoon out those items). (Also a good idea on the oatmeal and meats).

    You are totally right..., I should weigh my food. I just tend to get busy and do it the easy way. I'll try to be better about it!
