Veeky Forums I think I am fucking up somewhere, I just got on the scale and I weighed in at 195.5. I am 5'11 so that puts me solidly in the overweight category >inb4 manlet background, I exercise 3 to 4 times a week, mostly weight lifting, occassional cardio session on the stationary bike.
Here is how I eat weekly, please tell me where I am going wrong: BREAKFAST >2 hardboiled eggs >apple >banana >black coffee LUNCH / DINNER (total food prepared for 6 lunches and 6 dinners this week) >2 cans of black beans >2.2 lbs of ground chuck that was cooked with garlic and onions, solidly drained of grease, not greasy at all >4 cups of long-grain rice >cheese >alfalfa sprouts >bean sprouts >tortillas >little bit of sour cream >lettuce Kind of got a mexican theme going this week I can do taco salad, tortillas, or homemade burrito bowl things for lunch and dinner

>second pic of my disgusting body Also for the workout routine, I do the Recs Parks Beginners 5x5 routine like the sticky says except I have made deadlift more of a priority for workout B with more reps, and took away front squat and put in leg press 3x8 because I couldn't seem to do front squat correctly.

forgot pic sorry

Figure out your tdee then figure out exactly how many calories you consume in a day. You should be eating no more than your tdee if you want to lose weight.
Jayden Watson
You gain weight by consistently consuming more calories than you exert.
Colton King

tortillas are probably not your friend if you're trying to lose weight too.
get a food scale and start portioning by the gram.
Thomas Bell
Hey man here's my pic to make you feel better, 5'11 224lbs
But anyway, what are you worried about? For how long have you been living a healthy lifestyle and how fat were you when you started?
Noah Carter
I know there is a vague calories per gram that you can do. I think it's 70 and that is a great way to measure food, is that how it works?
Luis Morris
I think I was mid 180's at end of summer, but I had surgery and had complications after and I ate like shit on and off from late august to now
Juan Rogers
When I do those they spit out roughly 2500 calories as my max, seems like a lot though. I always thought 2k was appropriate
Alexander Jones
>cheese >little bit of sour cream >tortillas
There is no measurements to these. A single tortilla can have close to 180 calories in it. Cheese 110 per 1/2 cup (not packed down), and sour cream 90 calories. It adds up quick!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA there's your problem breakfast is the most important part of the meal you need a bigger breakfast, most calories should be towards the beginning of the day so you can use them throughout the day eat a big bowl of oatmeal with fruits and more eggs
Alexander Butler
This is retarded. OP's problem is overeating, not undereating.
William Kelly
>full size meal for both lunch and dinner Yeah, you're consuming a lot of calories there, try eating something smaller for lunch instead of an entire meal, just a sandwhich and a piece of fruit or something. You probably don't actually use 2500 calories, so make sure to get way lower than that if you want to actually lose weight, get more like 1800.
Henry Wright
I think he meant concentrating the calorie intake in the morning so you have much more time to burn them off throughout the day. He's right to a degree
Aaron Peterson
too much carbs + fat >cheese fatass >sour cream fucking seriously? >apple/banana this should be only before workout or not at all
Luis Roberts
not neccisarily the "most important meal of the day" you fucking housewife
concentrate your calories around when you'll be doing the most physical activety
Brayden Torres
>BREKFEST IS MOST IMPORATNT MEAL OF THE DAY Hi mom
Logan Green
get rid of the sour cream n cheese drink more water sleep more
Jace Evans
this + cutting down on all portion sizes all together
also give up dairy
Juan Perry
Well fuck you guys, cottage cheese is my primary source of proteins. t. not op
David Watson
>holy shit why am I fat >Kind of got a mexican theme going Mexico is literally the fattest nation on earth, you dip
Luis Gray
Not to any meaningful degree. Meal timing is irrelevant if you are overeating.
Robert Bennett
>more illegal immigrants >obesity on the rise
Ryder Fisher
Make America healthy again
Ryder Thompson
as a mexican, tortillas are NOT healthy, not corn ones, not flour ones, not any kind of tortilla if you want to get fit. Just eat your food without em
Nathaniel Collins
Not user, but I'm trying to lose the belly I have. I'm horrible at doing exercises in general, so how can I get better at doing them? Just do them a lot?
Tyler Kelly
Not op, I mean.
Leo Morris
Lose more weight You also have very little muscle mass under that fat so train heavier or go with a more bodybuilding oriented program
Kayden Diaz
>not eating your own doo doo
Nolan Garcia
Thanks.
Jonathan Hall
Okay update >threw out the tortillas >threw out the sour cream >keeping the cheese fuck you i put maybe 1/4 of a handful on my meal its like 70 calories max >got a scale so how many grams of food is an appropriate amount for a meal? I know someone earlier in the thread talked about this
Nicholas Rogers
Welcs.
Nolan Richardson
>BREAKFAST MOST IMPORTANT MEAL Nice unsubstantiated claims retard. It has been scientifically proven that when you eat and how many times you eat does not matter. What matters is how MUCH you eat and WHAT you eat.
Mason Fisher
Suck my dick.
Isaac Ortiz
IGNORE THIS MAN EAT IN A 6-7 HOUR WINDOW DAILY SKIP BREAKFAST REEEEEEEEEE
Brayden Ross
We are not going to do your calorie counting for you. Find out how much you expend in a day and then eat less than that to start losing weight.
Matthew Carter
Okay Okay I know it's annoying usually my meal preps are this: >sandwich fixings for lunch >pork chop / chicken cooked in cast iron >brocolli >half a cup of rice super healthy but you get super burned out eating the same flavorless thing over and over
Bentley Jackson
I am just asking what a reasonable portion for any meal would be. Like what is a lot of food and what is very little
Carson Lopez
>2 cans of black beans >2.2 lbs of ground chuck >4 cups of long-grain rice >holy shit why am i fat i dont know man
Leo Torres
I used to eat a big breakfast and I was even fatter than this, I cut it down and it's been good.
also , maybe 1/4 of a handful of cheese, one small spoonfull of sourcream, and like 2 tortillas. But I threw out the tortillas and the sourcream
Angel Mitchell
for 12 meals over 6 days that is not that much, I thought. Am I wrong? Also lettuce which is a good filler for all but zero calories
Kayden Reyes
>Also lettuce which is a good filler for all but zero calories lettuce is literally 99% water >I thought stop thoughting
Owen Rogers
Eat 2k calories a day. Mostly healthy but IIFYM works too Look into Intermittent Fasting. That means you can only eat for 4-8 hours of the day. The rest of the day you're fasting.
No liquids that aren't water or black coffee. During that time.
And most people tend to have the eating window after or before an evening workout but 2-4 hours before bedtime.
You'll drop tons of weight.
Xavier Carter
Jesus Christ just stop fucking shoving food into your gullet. Stop making feasts for every meal, eat once when you wake up and one more meal after, 800 calories each, no snacks in between with a 200 calorie protein shake before bed
Was that so fucking hard?
Jayden Moore
You'll suck tons of dick.
Oliver Long
so angsty you ok sweetie pie?
Austin Perry
God, can you people think of nothing but sucking cock.
Ryan Barnes
if you workout late in the evening you should still have a protein shake after right? I know it is right before bedtime and breaks that 2-4 hour rule but sometimes late night is the only time I can get into the gym
Connor Cruz
...
Charles Ross
name one thing that's more delicious than cock and i'll suck that instead.
Nolan Perez
You don't need a post workout protein shake but if it fits your macros go for it. And it's not a hard and fast rule to not eat before bedtime. But if you're trying to cut it's a good idea not too.
