If you are that active and only eating 1300 calories, you probably need to be eating more not less. I'd also give it about 6 weeks to see a change in inches if you are working out regularly.

I think the key is to cook stuff that takes a long time on the weekend so you are mostly just reheating/repurposing during the week. On Sunday, I roast several pounds of vegetables, and a chicken or slab of meat (for my husband) that we eat for lunch during the week. I also make a big pot of lentils and a separate large…

I eat a bowl of lentils in the morning - almost like oatmeal. And I eat a pound of roasted veggies for lunch every day, and always have a side salad of greens with dinner. I also eat my fiber with oil - I often fry an egg and eat it on top of the lentils, at lunch I have walnuts mixed in with my veggies, and I use a splash…
