Plate up the veggies. Also what do you consider a healthy meal?

This. I would say being a snack type eater you're more prone to temptation making the likelihood of consistent calorie adherence ever more challenging. Just some food for thought.

How often you think about food will make helping you a lot easier. If you don't think about food all that much then it could very well be you're in a sever deficit or your food selection is impacting your appetite negativity. Increase your cals or switch up your food choices to a more nutrionally dense variety…

When someone decides they want to lose weight they aren't necessarily aware of the reality and nuances that go hand in hand with weight loss. Not straight out the gate anyway. For interest purposes lets assume they are aware of the ins and outs about weight loss but they still can't lose weight. If that's the case is…

Damn. This is funny and worrying at the same time. That said I'm curious to know how this "connection" between anxiety and dairy came about. Sounds like fluff more than anything.

That's great you're now willing to take charge. however adopting a restrict approach isn't going to bring much success. Eventually you're crack and you'll give into your desires for the foods you love and rightly so. I'm guessing every diet you've under taken has been a restrictive one because you believe food items make…

Being consistent is key. Whatever you can do consistently is the best approach. Over the years I've developed a knowledge around food coupled with healthy eating habits so no matter where I am in any scenario I'm still able to eat according to my goals. I've also trained my mind to a state where not working out is painful.…

The basic premise behind it is that no food is off limits so long as you hit your macros. Don't be fooled by the instagrams version of IIFYM though.. You still wanna eat nutrionally dense foods for the most part. For me I don't even worry about set carbs or fats, they fall where they fall. I ensure I get optimal protein…

I won't hit my target bf%/weight either but it's all good. I know I'll hit my goal eventually. By the looks of things it'll be mid to Febending ending. Nothing changes for me, I'll carry on racking up successful days.

Basically as many varieties of meat plus a generous amount out of cheese. Barbeque base ofc with sprinkles of pineapple. If I'm feeling some type of way a stuffed crust filled with sausage and cheese will do nicely.

Calories seem a bit low for that output. Try this https://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/. Also don't nd so restrictive and "bro" with your food selections.

Why do you feel you are preoccupied with food? Also don't be so hard on yourself.

Very true. As humans we crave permanence. Nothing is permanent. Everything is ever changing including our diets so it seems.

I would have to agree. However factor in physique goals and you're somewhat forced to stray from this pure version of eating if you will. That said there's a goldilocks zone where both circles intersect. For me that's having knowledge of calories & macros but eyeballing your food and using hunger, satiety, fullness and gym…

You need to get to the root cause. 1. Are you restricting all your favourite foods? 2. Are you eating enough food? 3. Is stress & anxiety a trigger for you to eat? If so why? (Find a healthier alternative to outsource these feelings)

What do you eat everyday? Meal or food item?

I salute your dedication. Next level stuff.

Yep. I've had the same rotation of 3 breakfast meals for 5 years now. I've also had some form of chicken or turkey everyday for the same period of time too. I cycle through 2-3 choices of breakfast & dinner. Lunch is whatever. I believe this is key to sustainable weight loss. Auto regulation of calories thereby requiring…

I use to believe this myth once upon a time. It turns out no one can escape CICO. These individuals are A. eating much less than you imagine. That junk food meal was probably their main meal that day B. They're active other than going to the gym C. The day after they do seemingly gorge themselves, you'll notice their…

I get where you're coming from but honestly speaking no one can make you over eat but yourself. Here me out. If you're telling yourself "you're afraid, you're gonna get out of control" you're already setting yourself up for failure. We're not there just yet, let the day come and eat a tad over maintenance if you will,…
