Hey guys, it's been almost an entire year for me and I am pretty proud of my progress. My initial motivation for this journey was that I wanted to look good in clothes, I was tired of not being able to wear clothes that I liked. I want to share a couple of key things that I believe really helped me out.
Cheat meals helped me ALOT! I ate tons of buffets, fast food, pizza, etc. throughout this year but I realize that after each one I would be extremely on point for the following few days regarding my target calories/macros. I tried my best to calculate how terrible my cheats were to ballpark it but I never tracked those meals too carefully.
Secondly, there are many, many, times where I go to the gym and do not work hard. I go and lift moderate weights to get a nice pump and contraction but I don't go there with the intent to destroy weights day in and day out. I find that burns me out too fast and it may help someone else to know that they don't have to get in there and go to the limit.
For the most part I learned the caloric content of things that I regularly ate by weighing it and guesstimated it from 3months in until now. I ate around 1600cals/day and tried to keep protein at least at 100g. I worked out 6x a week following a PPL routine for the most part. I used to do incline walking as cardio in the beginning but outside of that I am fairly inactive.
