I want to start a new routine for my dream body but I have no idea what to do

What does your grocery list look like?

mostly meat, veggies, and fruits.

Yes, after meal prepping I realized the fruit I was eating had way to many carbs in them and the reason why I have oatmeal and toast is b/c just one doesn't fill me but I am going to do smaller meals and see how that helps.


For example, when I buy a package of chicken breast, it gives me the weight of the whole thing and the nutrition info on the back which is 4 oz per serving. If I can't measure it, idk how many servings I'm having. Same thing with the fruit, since they come in different sizes and simply googling wouldn't help, at least for me.

You should be able to plug in the brand of the chicken breast into my fitness pal. They have generic entries for damn near everything at this point. Same thing with fruit.

I see. What helps me determine size (i don't have a scale either) is using the palm of hand rule. So a serving of chicken would be size and width of the size of your hand. That's about 3-4 oz.

Buy a damn table top scale, they have em at Walmart for like $25

I measure everything.... I track everything in my head, but if I don't buy it from a restaurant its measured

So critical for cutting weight.

Just spent a good $120 for groceries that probably won't last more than 2 weeks

It's not a bad purchase as long as you eat it all. That's how I look at my grocery bills.

My guess would be too much carbs in fruit and starch/grains . For example, if you're eating oatmeal, the toast is putting you over your limit for the meal. How much fruit are you eating? What kinds? You should pick low glycemic (berries, green apples)over high (mangoes, bananas). You should change snacking on fruit to snacking on non starch veggies (no potatoes, limit corn and carrots) as much as you can. And up your lean protein.

Carrots are not a starch

***1 month update***
Only lost 4.6 lbs but my waist in down 3/8's of an inch and I lost a half inch on my hips. I see more definition in my thighs and calves but no really much of a difference in my arms. Probably b/c I don't work them out that much.

5lbs is 5lbs. Dont concentrate on strictly numbers. It could ultimately distract and frustrate you. Keep working.
