Ok, I've been kind of watching my diet and trying to lose some weight the last month or two, but nothing really serious. Well today I got a scale, weighed in at 207(Not too bad, up about 15 LBs from my lightest, but that was during wrestling season while cutting weight)
So starting today I'm getting very serious about my weight, I have a lot to lose, and I think I can easily get to 165. My trainer wants me to shoot for 178 but I feel that 165 is very very possible.
This is what I've been eating, and what I plan to eat while cutting weight.
Breakfast:
Usually not much...If I'm up in time for breakfast it's because I have to work early, which means I'm up in time to get ready for work, no time to eat. If I DO eat breakfast, it might be a Carnation Instant Breakfast, a Nutrigrain bar, or 2 rice cakes with peanut butter.
Lunch:
I've been eating a lot of tuna salad(not as good for me as straight tuna, but it tastes better and I keep the unhealthy condiments to a minimum), turkey sandwiches, and some kind of snack.
Dinner:Varies a lot. I eat out pretty often(it's that damn girlfriend of mine, she always makes me...take that however you want to
) When I eat out I try to stick with Subway or Chipotle. Nothing too extreme at Subway, turkey sub on wheat bread, light mayo, some other stuff on there). Chipotle isn't great I know, but it's better than Wendy's or something. Burrito bol at Chipotle, chicken with light cheese/sour cream, pretty much everything else. Something I just found last week or so is these . Basically just rice and chicken, I figure they can't be too bad for me. My mom's got a little George Foreman grill laying around, I'm going to start grilling some chicken breasts on there.
Snacks:Lots of different stuff. A handful of peanuts, beef jerky, baked chips, rice cakes, Nature Valley granola bars, etc. I try to stick to things that taste good and are healthy, or at least not too bad for me.
Drinks:Almost always water. I drink a decent amount of Propel and Powerade Option. The occasional Gatorade(mostly when it's on sale). Arizona Green Tea every once in a while. Pop was extremely, extremely rare for me, and I'm cutting it out completely starting today(I've actually had a lot in the past 2 weeks, probably like 5 cans in the last 2 weeks. Couldn't resist the Dr. Pepper at my graduation party
).
My worst habit:Smoking. I started smoking weed a little after spring break this year. I don't do it much, and I am quitting(or at least slowing down substantially). My big problem is I smoke and eat like a ****ing monster. This plus the fact that the smoking probably doesn't help my training is a big no-no.
So that's it I guess. As of today I'm 207.0. I'd like to be at or around 165 by the end of the year, which is definitely possible for me(I lost 60 LBs in 6 months last year, so 40 in 6 months is certainly doable.)
How does my diet look? I'm going to start using some of the recipes in this forum, and when I go off to college in the fall I'll be able to eat whatever I want, so that will help a lot.
