Hey brehs, I need help losing weight for the New Year

[Brandeezy]

So this morning I weighed myself and found out that i've only lost one pound since I started cutting calories last Tuesday. I thought I should've lost more since I've only drank water and haven't eaten any junk/ fast food. I did have a thin crust veggie pizza Friday but I tried to work it off that night so idk if that worked (Guessing not). Any meal plans that are good to follow? I can pretty much eat anything except for Peanut butter/Peanuts. I have a Total Gym since I work a lot of hours and I walk to and from work that equals a total of 2 miles pretty much everyday. Good thing is that I work in a Grocery store and in the Produce section. My meal plan has been like this...

Breakfast: 2 Bananas + Greek Yogurt
Lunch: Subway Turkey Breast Footlong + Baked Potato Chips
Dinner: Usually something light

Here's my stats

Age: 26
Weight: 195.8 (As of today)
Height: 5'6"

I'm trying to at least get MBJ in Creed size by May/June

Here's a body pic (NSFW lol)

Whats your workout plan like?

Arms, chest, abs one day then legs the next. I also do light cardio like jump roping but should I add running to the list?

You're not eating enough for you to be 190+ and stay away from subway


When i was that size I did hiit like 3-4 days a week and did About an hour of cardio every Saturday morning. That hiit worked wonders

Just about any exercise program will be fine, just make sure you're actually sweating & putting in work.

Consume less calories than you burn and you'll gradually lose weight over time.

Fruits, veggies and H2O need to be your gospel.

Is only being able to lose 5 pounds each month bad?

Naw that's cool, about a pound a week is realistic & better than dropping weight too fast. Keep in mind that weight fluctuates throughout the day so its best to weigh yourself 2-3 times a day and you'll see an avg. Muscle is more dense than fat so factor that also when you start building strength.

If you've carrying a lot of body fat you may have to cut the carbs. I'm 6'1, 240 and with a 2000 daily calorie limit my weight didn't budge for 3 weeks even though I was still lifting hard and not even eating back the calories. So I switched it up, cut all grains/fruits/sugar, daily carb intake from other sources below 40grams and the weight is dropping fast now.

Simplest way:

Track your calories each day, workout.

If you're not losing weight, lower your calories and/or increase your cardio. Adjust bi-weekly if you're losing too much or not losing enough.
