diet advice for 30 year old

[westin30]

I'm 6 4 and 245, a bit overweight but strong. I guess you could find me at the gym lifting heavy weight but not the guy who has a beach body. I want to trim down a bit. my diet is oats and skim milk in the morning. chicken and pasta for lunch and then salad and steak for dinner. is this an okay diet?

Eating less is an idea.

eat in a deficit! lol jk... calories in/out matter, but not as much as people think. i mean obviously if you eat 10000 calories a day you aren't gonna lose weight. but the key to fat loss is hormones #1 more than worrying about how much calories you eat

one of the best ways to fix a diet so that you fix your hormones is eating a natural whole food diet in a time restricted window of 2-6 hours. the benefits aren't just fat loss, but they are immune boost, autophagy, gut health, organ health etc etc.

this type of eating style is referred as intermittent fasting, but i hate that term. i call it time restricted eating. you can eat the SAME exact calories spread out or in a window and have 2 completely different end results

I recommend hiring a coach or someone to help you with your diet. Also there's a plethora of videos on YouTube about meal prep and dieting.

I would cut the carbs down a bit, especially the pasta. And just eat less overall food at each meal.

Pasta and milk are counterproductive if you want to cut. You never need either one of those.

Control your eating habit, do a cardio once in a while and a strict diet on carbs and sweets... Eat a well balance nutrition foods and supplements. Good luck man!
