So basically I started a weight loss journey in March, I decided I would cut progressively all the fried, processed and sugary food and I would only drink water and coffee. I started to workout 2 months into the dietary change and this is what I've been doing consistently this lasts months:
- Daily calorie intake: 1200-1500 (I track it almost everyday and I'm 99% sure I'm not eating above that threshold, some days I'll even eat 1000-1100)
- My meals are not really "small", I still eat in big amounts but I try not to take more than 500-600 cal per meal, I just increase the amount of vegetables or fruits since I don't really want to feel hunger throughout the day. Veggies, tons of fruits, chicken and turkey, low calorie greek yogurt or cheese, chickpeas, lentils, eggs, tuna, soy milk, some red meats, black coffee and water.
- I recently stopped eating bread or pasta, the only pasta that I'm eating is a lentil based pasta that has a pretty decent amount of protein.
- I also started IF about 5 months ago and I've been doing the 16:8 everyday since.
- I workout at home about 5-6 days a week and I switch between jumping rope, mat cardio with weights, swimming and stationary bike (1-2 hours per workout at medium/high intensity)
I'm a 24M, 174cm (5ft8), I used to weigh 122kg (269lbs) and now I'm at 103kg (227lbs).
I know that incorporating weights to my workout routine and increasing my daily protein intake (about 100-120g) may have caused my muscles to grow while I still lose fat, but it's been a month since the scale changed a single digit and I'm starting to worry that I may be doing something wrong.
