lidl

Lidl offer a plain 500g pot of yoghurt with a ā€œ50g of proteinā€ label plastered over the lid.

I’ll take a look thanks.

This is more sugar than i eat in two days.

15g of protien is only 60cals. Assuming the rest is fat/sugar??

I don’t even understand how these items make it into the house.
You spot two things in one day that you prob should not be eating but you eat them anyway.

I would suggest looking at the nutrition labels BEFORE you eat something and then if they warrant a ā€œwow, not so goodā€, maybe look for something more nutritious or eat much smaller portions.

We all really want to see you succeed! We need you to help us help you.

Seconding this, and using it as an opportunity to piggyback and say that another valid approach would be, if it DOESN’T have a nutrition label, it’s probably ok to eat…assuming it’s a food.

I may be Capt Carnivore over here, but it’s REALLY hard to overeat apples. Meanwhile, it’s VERY easy to overeat applesauce or overdrink applejuice.

Not trying to be a dick but this is horrible.
You’ve eaten around 1300cals and by my count prob 35g(140cals) of that is protien.
You’ve had 2 meals of essentially bread and cheese. Carbs and fat.
Why not throw some turkey on there and less or no cheese.

You 246lbs currently. Lets say you are 20% BF. That makes your lean body mass around 200lbs. I think i’m being generous here but lets use these numbers for the sake of conversation. 1g of protien per 1 lb of lean body mass is about the minimum a person who trains with weights should be eating to maintain/build muscle mass. You are 3 meals and a snack in and have only consumed approx 35g protien. I can’t see you consuming another 170g of protien in the 1-2 meals you have left. Heck is you stayed on this trajectory you would not even hit 100g or protien for the day.
Just for comparison I am 2 meals in and have already consumed 85g of protien. I still have 4 meals to go.

I’m at a conference with a ā€œcontinental breakfast,ā€ and My Fitness Pal tells me I’m at 57g protein so far (just breakfast). Half of this is from the protein shake I knocked back before I left home.

I’m unfortunately also at 656 kcal already for the day, because of the bagel (crap bread), coffee creamer, and etc that I’ve eaten socially.

I expect lunch to be difficult as well. Could be 3oz of conference chicken, or maybe a deli sandwich spread. Either way, high calorie, low protein.

Dinner will = steak at home, w/ a small potato and big pile of veggies.

It’s very simple, all of it. It just requires attention.

Cheers I will drink a few protein shakes. Cannot really shop for a bit.

Cooking 10 boiled eggs now.

I have fish I can cook too.

I cooked 10 eggs .I ate 1 . it passed the float test but stood up i.e. not on its side. They should be ok to eat but I don’t fancy the thought of anymore . They have been there two months.

I have some egg white in date. I will use that.

I am fairly certain a dozen eggs will not survive 2 days in my household.

As I have said numerous times.
Take 5 mins and input your daily meals into myfitnesspal or whatever you are using to track. If you take the time to do this prior to starting to eat for the day you can see what the plan is for the day. You can see your not eating anywhere near the amount of protien you should be.

I don’t jump in here often but this isn’t the take away based on this day of eating. I’d worry about cutting sausages, bread, and bacon pasta first.

I personally can’t have those foods in the house because I will eat them. Is it a possibility for you to change what your cabinets and fridge look like?
