I haven't been having much of an appetite lately which is not a horrible thing but I started tracking my calories today just to see what's up. Here are my numbers so far (cals/carbs/protein)794/66/38.6. Dinner is probably going to be protein and veggies of some sort so I'm estimating 1200 calories for today.

This carb backloading is WOAT, it's 11am and I'm feeling woozy. I'm probably doing it wrong but fukk it. Going back to my normal plan and I'm only 2 days into this shyt.
Anchored. How else are you going to lift the upper body up beyond a crunch?Brehs, whats the consensus on anchored vs unanchored sit-ups?
Ran 3 miles on the treadmill. I pushed myself on the last mile.
Later on, I did tricep work. Nothing major. This woman (pawg) came over and asked if I was using a bench. I wasn't even near it. I said no. Then, she did dumbbell rows.
... she was looking at the floor during the exercise so I stared at her cleavage like a perv.

Guys you got any tips on waking up early for a workout. I'm gonna have to be up at 5:30 - 6 in the morning to workout on Wednesdays when school starts in a week. Just looking for tips on anything like sleeping habits, eating before & after working out that early, etc.
This is probably the hardest thing to do, but try to get in 8 hours of sleep.

My brothers, how far can i go in seasoning my chicken breasts? Eating it plain was too bland of course so i have started to just add cayenne pepper, a bit of mixed herbs and some garlic. Could i go to the store and get some of that jerk sauce in a bottle for example would that be too much? 
To post more about my gym story at the moment:
Wake up at 6am, drink a protein shake and take some creatin. Go to the gym until about 730. Im just doing compound exercises right now until the end of the month. Upper body one session and then lower body next session. I always start with 12 mins. HIIT Interval on the bike though
Breakfast - oatmeal
Lunch - 3 boiled eggs, half a can of tuna + 3 quorn sausages (basically vegetarian version but good source of protein. Is this enough?) oh and some salad and fruit
Dinner - 2 chicken breasts, 3 quarters of a cup filled with brown rice and vegetables.
Im trying to lose a bit of my stomach weight while ideally trying to pack on some muscle aswell. Thoughts?

Seasoning doesn't really impact the nutrition, imo. Have you figured out your maintenance calories and all that jazz yet? Do you feel hungry during the day with that diet?

Only time im hungry is about 11am until i have my lunch. Other than that im good tbh and feel good. May need to buy some snacks for before lunch. I havent counted calories im just going by portion size and i think what im eating is enough
Like @Rawtid said the seasoning should really factor in to the nutrition.My brothers, how far can i go in seasoning my chicken breasts?

As far as routine, cutting fat and building muscle at higher rate is going to be a long and difficult process. I don't want to say that is not possible but it's close.
You can get leaner and stronger which will change your body composition and make you look better/bigger.
I say this thinking you aren't new to lifting. I would save the HIIT until after lifting. No need to burn your CNS and then tax it by lifting.
Damn brehs, I had a tough day in the gym yesterday. Been benching 270, 8 reps, 4 sets. Suddenly, I could only get it up 8 times for 1 set, then 3 times second set. Left arm, shoulder, or wrist was weak out of nowhere. Dropped down to 250... got it up and moved it 5 times, but even that was a struggle on the left side. I have no fukking idea whatsoever happened. There's nothing to indicate my left side would suddenly struggle with weight it has been pressing with relative ease for two weeks.
Anyone else had this happen? Is it just a natural, random fatigue? Maybe I slept on it wrong?
Also, want some feedback on curls and military press. I've been curling with 75 pound dumbbells, military press with 95s. Should I drop down? Could this be contributing to wrist/shoulder fatigue? Do any of y'all rock with low weights/high reps? Is so, how low and how many reps? Spent part of this past Fall doing German Volume Training, 10 sets of 10 reps at 60% of max weight. shyt actually was mad effective, but also had my joints aching like a motherfukker. Anyone do something similar, but lighter?
Appreciate any feedback.

Sometimes the weight just doesn't want to move. Could be anything.
Unless you are experiencing pain I wouldn't worry to much.
If it becomes a trend then some programming change.

I dont actually mind doing the cardio before weights but ill switch it up tomorrow when i go gym.
To get leaner and stronger is, my routine good enough? Im just doing compound excersises at the moment then will prob switch to isolation excersises in a month. One session is lower body so squats, deaslifts, leg press and that machine which i forgot where you sit down and lift the weights using your quads. Next session is upper body so pullups, bench, dips, bentover barbell rows, overhead press.
