I'm currently taking my diet more serious.
It's been a little over two months and I've only lost 20 pounds. That may seem like a lot to some of you, but it's not to me because I started with a higher percentage of body fat.
I currently stand 5'5 and am at 216 pounds at 27 years of age. I don't know my body fat percentage, but it's high up there.
Here is my daily break down of nutrition.
first meal: 470 calories. (9.5g fat) (31 carbs) (49protein)
second meal: 285 calories (7 fat) (21 carbs) (41protein)
third meal: 350 calories (7.5g fat) (7.5 fat) (60 protein)
fourth meal: 375 calories (2 fat) (3 carbs) (47 protein)
fifth meal: 295 calories (5 fat) (5 carbs) (28 protein)
Daily total calories is about 1875. Total fat is 31G total carbs is 60G total Protein is 225g.
My calories come from oatmeal, chicken breast, almonds, egg whites, cottage cheese, honey, protein powder and sometimes peanut butter. I also eat brocolli, but I don't count them into my calories since they're not that high.
Does my carb intake look too low? I don't know what else to do. I can take down my protein intake in order to up my carb intake. Would that be a good idea?
I also lift heavy about three to four times a week now. On off days I'll do light walking cardio and stretches. I drink plenty of water and take vitamins and fish oils.
