can you measure all the protein/carbs(sugars)/fat/calories

and their totals?

You may have only dropped 3 pounds since Feb, but have your lifts gone up? There are ways to progress other than scale weight.

What does your training program look like?

Plug it into fitday.com then post your calories, protein, carbs and fat.
You’re not eating enough real food meals in my opinion.

I agree, I would eat more “real food” in your diet, you may of dropped just three pounds, but maybe you have lost inches. Is your lean body mass increasing? Do you know your body fat % when you started?

A decrease of 1-2 pounds a week is ideal. I wouldn’t worry about doing it fast, you have to be patient.

Move more outside the gym, take a walk everyday to add to total kcal expenditure. Remember you are only in the gym a little bit each day, you have a lot of time outside it to be moving.

If your lifts are going up and you are losing 1-2 pounds a week… PERFECT

I am seeing my body shape up a bit. My shoulders and traps are getting rounder and fuller, my back is starting to show structure, my arms are starting to form a peak my chest is starting to take shape. I am concerned with all the water weight I am carrying though specially at night time. When morning comes though my body feels good and my sides are smaller.
