Breakfast: Protein shake with Greek yogurt for breakfast

Mid morning snack: 2 boiled eggs

Lunch: A meal replacement smoothie with some almonds or peanuts


Dinner: 6-7 ounces of salmon and broccoli with Cream sauce

This is pretty much what I eat everyday.

It's about 1300 calories. Roughly 120-130g protein, 70g carbs and 50g fat.

I feel like I'm not eating enough because I burn about 500 from walking and exercising.


Any help will be greatly appreciated :smile:

1300 seems low in general knowing you are consistently exercising.

Reasoning on the replacement shake for lunch?

I figured but I'm trying to lose 10lbs and I was told by a bootleg nutritionist that my goal should be 1300 calories a day with 1350 on workout days :rudy:


It's easier than making a lunch. I've been pretty busy at work so I need something quick or else I won't have time to eat.

It's tricky with women because of the various hormones in play.

That said:
Without knowing details I can't say on the cals the person suggested but an extra 50 on a training day seems :heh:

There is a thin line with not eating enough and training when you are relatively thin. I'm guessing the 10 you want to lose is "problem area" ten.

Big picture how do you feel day to day at those cals?

How much stress is coming from the work schedule?

Damn those hormones :(

Even I knew an extra 50 on gym days was bull but I don't eat a lot anyway so it's actually hard to even eat the 1300 calories. I'm also a very picky eater which is why I eat basically the same meals everyday. Plus, I only eat seafood so that's my main source of protein.

I just make things so complicated :snoop:


Yes the 10lbs is the problem area, lol. I want a flat stomach, dammit!!! I also don't like that I'm 142lbs. That really bothers me.

The work schedule can get pretty stressful since I'm working longer hours now with no breaks in between. It should hopefully get better in a couple of weeks but it is kind of hard to eat right at the moment.

Losing weight wont necessarily get u a flat stomach. U can have fat over ur stomach and still have a flat stomach.

*EDIT* I have a strong craving for eggs overeasy with cheese, bacon and ketchup on a toasted roll :mjcry: That carb up has reminded me how much I love carbs

Who loves carbs
CTK loves carbs
Is it true? :dwillhuh:
