Most of the time my body is just way smarter then me and it keeps asking me for carbs :s

Yup, that's why cheat days never work for me unfortunately. I just end up canceling the deficit I built up all week.

Breakfast is usually a protein bar since I am always on the go. sometimes It's microwaved oats with fruit. I meal prep often as it saves my kitten during work days. It's usually some type of protein (chicken breast or ground turkey), carbs (rice or sweet potatoes), and leafy green vegetables (Brussels sprouts are my…

I am in college + full time job. It's really hard especially when exams/homework cramp up. What I find helps is planing my meals ahead of time and prepping food the night before. I keep protein bars in my bag for a quick snack. Working out is a struggle to fit in my schedule, but I try to get in a 30 min cardio workout if…

I make sure all my meals including snacks are prepared for in advance. We have a fridge at my work place, so I keep tuna, bread, olives, tomatoes (sandwich ingredients lol), I also keep Greek yogurt in the fridge. I keep protein bars and other snacks in a drawer in case I get hungry. That way I do not get tempted by the…

I easily reach my protein goals with just the food I eat (120-130 grams). Tuna, Greek Yogurt, and Chicken breast all have very high ratio of protein/calories. Sometimes I eat protein bars as a snack, but never protein powder (I hate it lol). I just make sure to include a source of protein with every meal.
