Hi. Let me lay it out.
I have been concerned about my weight my entire life. I do not remember a time I was not fat. I have just found a massive lipoma in my right bicep and it's scaring the shit out of me. I need some serious advice.
Reading posts here, my understanding is that the typical recommendation is to use a TDEE calculator to see what calories to eat under in a day in order to lose weight, and this suits me well as I work a long hours, sedentary job, and am too self conscious to go out and try to exercise, or god forbid, go to a gym if I could even find one that is open considering the pandemic.
Having read the advice in the other posts, my problem is twofold.
Firstly, while I know how to cook, I don't know how to make decent, good tasting healthy food. I do not know what to buy or cook in order to keep under the recommended calorie limit. I have scrolled through endless lists of recipes on several websites, and they all just look awful to me. I have lived my entire life without knowing anything about health, nutrition, or cooking healthily.
I am hoping some people who are losing weight successfully can provide their weekly meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks that they actually enjoy because I cant seem to find anything that doesnt contain kale and brussel sprouts online. I want to eat food that I can enjoy eating, and I need variety as if I eat the same thing day in day out, I will very quickly fall off whatever wagon I am hoping to get on.
The second problem is time. As I noted, I work long hours. I am tired when I finish work. I do not have the time to dedicate hours per day cooking complicated meals, or to spend an entire day making batches of an identical meal for the next several days (I am not a fan of this due to the lack of variety as well).
Please god someone help me, I am so sick of being myself, and I am terrified because I know that if I keep going like this, I'm a dead man who will have never been happy.
I am 28, male, approximate height is 5'8", approximate weight is god knows, 280 or some shit? I do not own a scale at this time.
Thanks
