Bodybuilding Home Gym Edition

This is a list of foods and weights. Are you saying this is what you plan to eat every day, 7 days a week ??
Are you following the white food only diet?? I would be adding a whole load of green or other coloured veggies as well as fruit. I would also look to reduce the meat a little in place of some eggs. Maybe have 6 eggs for breakfast instead of 150g of chicken.

Would eggs be on a daily basis?What about cholesterol?

I am not a nutritionist but i think for most people the issue with cholesterol From eggs is a non issue. Do you already have high cholesterol ???

Nooo

Should be ok then. You can always remove a few yolks, do 3 whole eggs and 3 whites if you want less fat.

Strength lost can be regained. You’ll get back there eventually.

You are Greek my friend? There’s a reason I have an Athenian owl on my chest ahahah I spent 20 summers in Paros
