[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry everyone, crazy work day.

I’m 39, 5’8” 166.5oz! So I am at the high end of a “normal” BMI.

My current calorie target is 1350 calories, and after exercise, I’m usually in a 50-100 calorie deficit on top of that, so around 1300 calories a day. I aim for mostly protein, I average around 90g a day, but have a pretty carb-heavy breakfast.

I eat pretty much the same thing every day, switching up only flavors of things:

Breakfast: Steel cut oats with protein powder and powder protein, strawberries

Lunch: 3oz leftover chicken, 1 chicken sausage, a couple dill pickles

Snacks: Greek yogurt, orange, mini protein bar

Dinner: 3oz grilled chicken, 1/2 cup rice, broccoli green bean mix

My leftover calories yesterday with the above day was 93

My exercises:

Outdoor bike ride: I ride on average 15-20 miles, takes me about 40 minutes, depending on wind.

I walk 20 minutes to a set of stairs and spend 10 minutes climbing them, then I walk home.

Ok this all sounds good on paper, but how are you doing in reality?

Have you really eaten this way and 1350 cal/day for 2 months straight with no days off or going over? 
 because here is the typical deal with those who "can't lose weight eating small amount of calories". They eat 1200 cal for a few days then wake up starving on day 3 so overeat. "Get back on track" the next day. Or they eat this way M-thursday then overeat all weekend.  It is really hard to only eat 1350 cal EVERY day.  the key to fat loss is a CONSISTENT deficit. That is eating in a deficit AT least 90% of the time so not going over set calories more than 3x/month.
