just allow yourself to have a cheat day once a week or relax it more on your weekend whatever is easier on you.

I usually drink a protein shake in the morning for my breakfast and make that the night before or make a small breakfast that i can grab and go and put them in a bag

I always pack small snack bags like homemade trail mix with nuts and fruit with some granola. I also snack on sunflower seeds and almonds. Also taking a cooler with water and sandwiches works well.

anywhere between 30 to 120 minutes a day 5-6 days a week

Agreed rest up eat right and avoid the exercise for today get plenty of rest and fluids. The Jack and tea with honey is my go to for getting out of that feeling

That sounds really good maybe next week ill make that

I have no idea i always figured that when they figured the calories they figured for it cooked and drained and never thought about it. It cant be that many calories though

Agreed only i do mine once a week

Diets dont work i hate to tell you that because you already know that you have to make it a lifestyle change you have to hold yourself accountable for what you eat and what you do to burn it off. I am more than will to encourage you and to aid you in anyway i can.

All very true if i drink i make it my free day and then work harder throughout the rest of the week also try and eat healthy and avoid over drinking i usually try to limit myself to 3 drinks that with healthy choices usually keeps me under my calorie goals
