Here’s to hoping that tomorrow is a new day. One day I’ll get this diet down and be able to stop winging it. I figure meal prep will help a lot come Sunday.

Getting tons of carbs it seems, gotta work on my protein. But feeling better having real food instead of the everyday McDonalds, Wendy’s, etc.

You hit 180g of protein, that's a really good amount. You hit the minimum.

Hoped on the scale this morning, 167.4. I’ll be weighing myself every Sunday morning when I wake up. Here’s to hoping I keep seeing gains every week. Thanks guys for all the help so far.

Your diet appears to be disturbingly low in vegetable content

Had some brocolli earlier with my sardines. I’ve gotten start getting more vegetables in. The other photos had some peas and carrots in the fried rice. But you are correct, vegetables are somewhat lacking.

That’s actually solid a protein shake or two would be really good if you can fit them in

Add some bell peppers in the for potassium and salt everything with sea salt.

Hope on the scale this morning at 169.6. I’ll take it. Hoping to be over 170 next Sunday when I weigh in as I’d never saw 170. Although before starting this dieting I’d never saw what I am right now either. Thanks again guys for all the help so far. Now time to go eat.

I highly disagree with only weighing yourself 1x per week. I'm much more partial to daily weigh-ins, and taking the weekly average.

There is too much noise to assume that a 1x per week is accurate, so it'll take many weeks, if not months, to see what's actually going on.

For example, in the last seven days my weight has fluctuated between 193.6 and 197 lbs. If I only weighed 1x per week, I could be totally wrong as to what's actually happening. You could think you're losing when you're actually gaining, or vise versa.

So you weight every day? If so I’ll have to take this into consideration.

No training as of yet, all the gyms closed here In Texas still. I’ve been doing push-ups, sit-ups and squats every other day. 5*10. I can’t wait until the gyms open up though. When they do I’m more than likely going to start don’t the 5*5 program from strong lifts to get the basics down.

Yes, I do. Occasionally I'll miss a day here or there, but it gives you a much more accurate picture as to what's happening.
