Whatās the strategy to make that happen?

Would love to see you succeed. I just spent a little time sifting through this whole log and it seems like you have never been able to get your diet on track. Posts like this are happening multiple times per week. You layout random food calories but never really track all of what you are eating so Iām assuming a lot more than you think you are.
How can we help you?

I am back at home now. So just forming good habits again. Yesterday was the only really bad day in terms of calories.
Thank you for the kind offer I will take you up on it.
I was away from home for a few days and was careless. The bad habits slipped over when I got back home last night.
I will deffo have to start weighing my food. I was eating the same things , so I could roughly track the food. Tracking has not been a priority until now as I was still losing weight.
CTās Programm is great but I am not making it to the gym 4 times a week . So I have a relatively for me heavy dumbbell up to 64 kg, which I use for pressing and rows. I have an over the door chinup bar now , as well as using a heavy resistance spring every 4 days.
It seems that being away from home frequently results in mis-steps.
It also appears you are away from home with semi-regularity.
Have you considering developing an āaway from homeā strategy?
For example, this is how I packed for a trip away from home
This was what my hotel dresser looked like when I unpacked

It was Christmas. I am not generally away very often.
But yes I will need a strategy. I took food too but it was a bit unappetising. I am getting fed up of mackerel.
This is a sign that you are not actually hungry, but looking to food for some other purpose.
When we are hungry, we eat food. When we are bored, sad, etc, we eat entertainment.
I like packing unappetizing food for this very reason. If I donāt want to eat it, I know Iām not actually hungry, and I wait. When Iām ready to eat it, I know Iām hungry, and I have no regrets.
Like, look at how much canned chicken breast, tuna and cauliflower are in those photos. Those arenāt appetizing foods. The yummy things are there primarily for convenience when traveling, like on an airplane. But I HAVE been known to crack into a packet of tuna on those occasions too.

For me, just eating the same things for a week or two works great. Track it once then just do the same thing every day. Keep it simple. Iāve linked my training log. It will show my diet while Iām prepping for a contest but youāll see how I do things. Keeping it simple is the best way.
Iāve also linked MyFitnessPal below so you can see what iāve eaten for the last few years during different phases of building and dieting. If your not using this app you should start.
We got you! Lets make this a successful year for you!!
