yeah, I noticed by tracking on fitday that I tend to naturally calorie cycle in an almost perfect pattern

Great suggestions so far.

I can definitely see your progress from your pics. Good job!

The answer will lie in your diet. I think 1000 in a day is too low but 7 weeks out, you may need to drop it down a bit from 1800. If you can, I'd post up your high days and low days menus and let us help you tweak it.

No healthy fats? It's my understanding that on low carb days, especially, you're to increase healthy fats. Of course, if you're cooking all of your chicken in olive oil, there could be too much.

How do you handle all that oatmeal?!?! Lol! I couldn't.

and I don't see any veggies except the spinach.

And how about water-- are you drinking enough to flush everything?

And maybe replace meal 1's chicken with an egg and a few egg whites.

Thank you so much! I just use Pam to grill the chicken I get a gallon of water in will push for more. I'll incorporate some nuts on the lower carb days. As well as adjust my calories to at least 1500 will do some more research, tweak it, and see how it works for me for a
Couple of weeks. Thank you thank you!

Def add in some plain almonds (not salted), maybe walnuts. Avocado not a bad idea too.

intermittent fasting has been working great for my wife.. but depending on your exertion it might not work well for you.. don't want you to have low blood sugar crash.. just close to it..
