Lunch: 2 boiled eggs sandwiched on buckwheat and poppy seed bread. 2 jumbo salt and vinegar snackajacks

Tea: Pasta and pesto with minced meat.

Day 75, and since logging my calories on MFP I know now for certain I am getting around 1800+, if it's lower it's only by 20cals. MFP recommends 2500 calories to get a 2lb weight loss per week, so to insure I lose a little more than that, I think being under is okay. However I will try to aim to be at around 2000. My next weigh in is tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see how I have done

Today's meals were:


Breakfast: Muesli with skimmed milk.



Lunch: Ryvitas with cottage cheese. An apple.


Tea: Chicken korma with brown rice.



Snack: Pistachios

Well I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 3lbs this week. I'm very happy with that.

 

[burstingattheseams]

Great news! I've been a bit awol this week so back on it properly again tomorrow. Just planning my shopping for the week.
Glad you got a good loss this week - great news xx

I'm still logging everything on MFP, but because I am focusing on not going over my macro-nutrients I seem to be losing 150cals off what I was eating. It's frustrating, but it's a work in progress and these things happen.

Although, the day is not done, this is my meal plan I set out for today:


Breakfast: Muesli with skimmed milk.


Lunch: Turkey Sandwich.



Tea: Chicken and rice, with salsa on the side.


Snack: A smoothie containing 1 banana, 1 apple, some grapes, some blueberries and some Kale


Total calories for the day: 1699

You can over macronutrients to a point, they're more like goals rather than limits, if you're bothered then work to the ratio rather than the number

Id never heard of macronutrients until my assistant started SSS (joe wicks) at work. Diet ninja is following the plan and the body coach is on the photo site that shall not be named. The transformations are incredible and plan is do generous food wise. I really like the ethos and principles, seriously tempted to do it

Lol I didn't even make it to weekend, let alone get past it. I ended up having a kinder chocolate bunny.

Back on track today, where usually I would cheat one day and then give up completely. I'm certain I will lose the weight, it won't be easy, but I will do it.

 

[Stackhead]

You can't be 100% ALL of the time they key to doing this for good is learning how to get back on track after an off plan day, how'd it go?
