  • The issue I still face with adding exercise calories would be that the macros would still differentiate. I'm planning for higher protein on non-training days to aid recovery with reduced carbs, and higher carbs on training days to fuel my workout.

  • Did you enter your activity level correctly when signing up? 4,700 calories is a lot of food, are you sure that's right?

  • Try having a high carb meal the night before, this should fuel your morning workout meaning you don't have to eat breakfast before the gym.

  • Maybe spinning will be too much to start with in that case. Your probably best consulting a doctor before you begin any sort of training.

  • It depends on what level you're at. If you're gym offers spinning classes they're a great fat burner, and will do wonders for your fitness. Strength training is also a good weigh to lose excess fat, particularly compound exercises.

  • Quorn is meant to be a good source of protein, although I'm not sure if this is just vegetarian or vegan.

  • Add some chorizo sausage to your salads, this will bump the calories up. Like coever said, increase the nuts in your diet. Substitute the water in your porridge for milk, I think it's 60ml of milk for every 10g porridge oats. Doing all this will mean you can reduce the portion size of your carbs (quinoa, pasta etc.) which…

  • It's hard to say that meal plan doesn't suit without knowing the portion size of your lunch and dinner, or your current weight, current calorie goals and macro goals. OP you'll need to provide further information so people can recommend foods/meals that will fit your philosophy.

  • MrM – We come back to the point where you are saying you haven’t eaten fries or fast food in a long time. This is not the point, you are advocating people can eat whatever they want within their calories and macro goals. By you not eating those foods, you’re sort of fighting my argument for me. Why don’t you eat fries or…

  • Your best bet is compound movements if your trying to burn fat and HIIT for your cardio. Compound movements include squats, kettle bell swings, clean and jerk etc. But you don't look like you've got much fat you need to burn anyway.

I'm pretty tired of going over the same things, if you actually read what I was saying and had a think about it you might understand. Your telling people to eat whatever they want within their calorie…
