Thread: I need a change in my diet

Hey
it's my first post here
i saw a youtube video of jesse
thought maybe i could also get motivation here
im 21 and i started at 152kg
right now im at 145kg
yesterday we had a familly dinner and after 3 weeks of being in a diet
I let loose
ate everything i saw
i want to avoid that
i feel like im eating the same every day
2 meals per day
lunch is either chicken breast or salmon with rice noodles or whole rice
dinner is vegetables with an omlet and tuna and sweet corn with 2 slices of whole wheat bread
snacking has always been my problem so i bought low calorie one's
that all sums up to 1850cal a day
i need a way to refresh my diet

the answer is IIFYM (flexible dieting), eat whatever you want as long as you're in a caloric deficit. just make sure to eat enough protein and fat

by the way, you don't need to eat that little calories to lose weight if you're 150 kilos... i eat that when i'm cutting @ 65 kg

That's a very individual choice. Get myfitnesspal on your phone or computer and experiment...

Put things you normally eat into it and see where you get to if you
a) set a maximum calorie intake of maybe 2000 cals
b) get at least 120g of protein - this can be tricky if you don't eat much meat. Eggs, low fat dairy, wholegrains, beans etc. can help increase your protein-to-calorie ratio.

Set your calories at 2200-2300 and just stick with that for as long as you can. You could probably even lose weight successfully for quite a while at 2500 calories as long as that is a strictly tracked number and not a "guestimated" 2500.

What he said ^^^.

Don't go so far restrictive that you end up crashing. Its not sustainable. This has to be a lifestyle change, not a temporary diet.
