Just from reading this post my heart is like:
The good cholesterol and fats in my meal outweigh the badJust from reading this post my heart is like:
I'm thinking of taking a break from weightlifting for a month, And just do cardio and calisthenics. I feel weak as fukk when lifting, my numbers are way down and I get tired quickly. I still have a lot of weight to lose at 250, and lifting weights constantly has me hungry.
Hopefully cardio will help.
Hopefully cardio will help.
Cardio isn't going to decrease hunger.
Is the scale still moving down? How much are you eating? What are you eating? I doubt the problem is lifting weights if it's not an injury.

From my experience Cardio has always left me more hungry then when I did my weightlifting sessions. But if you stay disciplined I believe you will get bigger benefits in terms of losing weight. Just try it and see how it goes for you.
It's moving slowly but still moving.
I eat two egg omelet in a wheat wrap for breakfast.
Snack- yogurt
Lunch-can of tuna sometimes with wheat pasta
Snack- raisins or banana
Lunch 2- again can of tuna with wheat pasta
Then gym
And for dinner it can be brown rice, chicken breast, broccoli, sweet potato.
I eat fairly clean. My portion are decent and reasonable. I eat the same things mostly everyday.
Might spruce up my meals with avocado, black beans. What do you think?
You aren't eating enough. That can't be more than 1,800 calories and that with a lot of rounding up. Are you tracking actual calories by number and/or macros?
I can tell you now that is you drop lifting for cardio you are unlikely to be happy with the results on how you look if that matters to you.
And the dietary fat content is too low.
No I haven't been keeping track. Would a protein shake everyday be beneficial to up my calories and overall goal ?
How can we say when you don't have a base line of information? Shakes are fine but you might be able to increase what you currently eat and not need them.
Personally I would track meals for two weeks to see what calorie/macro level you are eating at. That said I would another egg for breakfast, a serving of almonds with the banana and if you can switch to chicken thighs for dinner.
I will definatly make the proper changes cuz of your solid advice. Thanks!!.
Disclaimer: I'm not an authority, I've just been in the same situation.
Tracking will help. I did it for a long time and stopped because I got pretty in tune with what I was eating and my hunger. I just started because I need to some baseline information. MY calculations where about where I thought they would be but I think my cals were two low for my activity level.
