I just saw this. I didn’t attack YOU.
Have a good day too.

But what you did do is assert yourself in a thread and in no way attempt to help the OP but attack someone who is trying to help.

That I did. And I would do it again. You just DON’T tell a man who had a heart attack hey don’t worry about high lipids, sugar company paid someone so we can all believe something that is clearly wrong.

As far as diet I eat 2500-3000 calories a day based upon my calorie tracker. Yesterday I had 3 cups of coffee with milk in the morning, lunch was Venison chili with black beans and a Chobani Greek yogurt. For dinner I had 3 beef taco’s with shredded cheddar, some salsa and black olives. When I got back from the archery range I had a protein shake with a cup of blueberries and 2% milk. Total calories according to the app was 2726 and my Macros were 30% carbs, 44% fat and 26% protein. Most days I am nearly equal on the macros. Today I had the chili again, about a cup of leftover steamed broccoli, two cups of coffee, a clementine and a Chobani Greek yogurt for a total of 617 calories 54% carbs, 17% fat and 29% protein.

Okay, swinging back in here to talk about food stuff. Overall, you’re not doing too bad and your weight is coming down eating like this, correct? If so, you’re probably okay with this plan. Here are a few suggestions to help clean things up a bit:

1. Ditch the milk in your coffee. If you need something, try a pre-made protein shake as your creamer to work in a bit more protein and less carb/sugar.
2. If your yogurt isn’t the sugar free/no sugar or plain - make that switch. Flavored yogurts are super high in sugar and do you no favors.
3. With your dinner tacos could you do just 2 tortillas but keep the same amount of filling as you’d use in 3? And maybe switch to a leaner ground beef to bring the fat down.

Bottom line recs:
Each meal should be focused on lean proteins, non-starchy veggies and small/moderate amounts of healthy fats and carbs. It would be preferable to keep carbs around workouts or parts of the day when you’re most active. Keep your portions of everything reasonable and stop eating before you’re stuffed. Keep things simple and keep us posted on your progress!

I think you misread a few things

In my post I was referring to what you said:

@farmingdales_finest

I have no issues on pulling and overhead pressing

That’s why I insisted on presses and deadlifts. Now you say you can’t do both.

I’m afraid that you have an array of physical issues that this board isn’t equipped to solve. Hopefully I’m wrong. Good luck either way.

So I need to lose at least 60 pounds while maintaining muscle.

I don’t see this happening if you can’t perform any type of notable resistance training. You will lose both fat and muscle if you enter a caloric deficit. You would lose muscle even if you did resistance training, but perhaps a bit less than if you don’t do any type of training.
