I'm continuing my quest to find what combinations works best for my body.
What I am currently doing -
** 5 mini meals with 1 larger meal. The 5 mini meals are each around 100 calories and 10-15g protein. I eat a minimum of three vegetables a day.
** Drinking over 100oz of liquid a day. Most of this liquid is unsweet tea and coffee.
** 7k steps a day minimum.
** 7.5 hrs of sleep (averaging)
If I eat over 1200 calories, I will gain weight. That is a proven fact. On days that have social meals I use my one larger meal for the social event. I can usually stay around 1200 calories on those days, so I maintain my weight.
On days that I don't have social meals my main meal is less calories so I can lose weight on those days. I know EVERYONE says not to go under 1200 calories, but it is a necessity for me if I want to lose weight. I am putting a lot of effort into making sure my calories are packed with micronutrients. Making sure I get plenty of protein on a regular basis (every 2-3 hours) has been key for me to not get hangry. (angry from hunger)
Examples of my mini meals -
Fairlife chocolate shake170g (1/2 bottle), cooked squash 200g
Coffee, Collagen, Greek Yogurt 120g
Pulled Pork 60g, cabbage 100g
Xtreme Tortilla, laughing cow light cheese, turkey slices 36g (3 slices)
Asparagus 200g, Shrimp 60g
BBQ pork skins
Cheerios & Light Mozzarella Stick
HB egg, cooked squash 200g
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
