My target is over 200g protein a day. P- 36% C-39% Fat 25%. Personally I'm not worried about low carb because I go to the gym 5-6 days a week. To hit my protein targets, I use protein powder 1-2x per day, sometimes up to 4x. Most of my meat is chicken breast, turkey breast, ground chicken or turkey, extra lean ground beef…

You've done it once, so you can do it again! Life is tough man, and it's easy to let the stresses of life consume you so your priorities shift from looking after yourself to just surviving. I'm sorry you lost your parents. That's a hard challenge to work through for sure! I myself have lost a decent amount of weight a…

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. We both just turned 35 and the realization is hitting pretty hard that it's not as easy to stay as trim and fit as it was 10 years ago. We both want to be the healthiest versions of ourselves as we continue to age. My wife is just having a bit more of a hard time getting motivated…

3/4 cup of 0% Greek yogurt with a scoop of chocolate protein powder and a chopped up banana in it. 47g of protein and about 335 calories and delicious!

0% High Protein Plain Greek Yogurt. I eat it with berries and a bit of swerve for a snack and you can also substitute it for sour cream. It's like 17g of protein in a serving (and only 100 cal) so it's pretty much the best. Plus lots of chicken or turkey breast with meals. And egg white omeletes for breakfast.

I've read anything more than 2lbs/week lost is unhealthy, but 1-2lbs/week is fine. I expect to lose a little muscle mass, but as I said before, I still do some weight training to counteract that. Honestly, there's a lot more fat than muscle to lose at this point haha. And 3500 cal burned is bang on with any TDEE calculator…

Everyone has provided lots of great insight here. I definitely don't rely on what the cardio machine is telling me for calories burned. I use a Garmin watch to log my heart rate, work outs, steps etc throughout the day and it's pretty accurate as far as I can tell. As for feeling super hungry after, yes, I usually am. But…
