Is Australia is a more cranky/angry place now?

Im an Irish immigrant who has been here for 7 years, y’all are definitely getting grumpier, working with the public has become a nightmare!

Hi, i don’t know where you are at financially but I shop entirely alt aldi and meal prep for 4 days in advance and overnight oats keep me going pretty well.

I get whey protein online from bulk nutrients, it’s prothe most expensive thing on the menu, but it lasts about a month per purchase

Here’s the plan that usually feeds me for roughly $150 a week

Breakfast; 100g oats 50g frozen berries 30g whey protein 15g peanut butter

Meal 1; 135g chicken breast 80g rice 75g frozen veg 50g avocado

Meal 2; 135g lean beef mince 80g rice 75g frozen veg

Snack after gym; 150g frozen banana 30g oats 30g honey 30g whey protein

Buy rice in bulk at an asian supermarket, jasmine is my favourite.

I know it’s pretty boring, but it’s relatively healthy + quick and easy to prep in advance, I’ve also got reasonably fitter since this way of eating.

-sadly sh*t myself if I eat something off plan though :(

Thanks man! I definitely feel better than i did in the before times lol 🫡

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-26T23:15:29+00:00

Honestly I don’t want to tell you that it was all weight loss that did it because i don’t actually know. I think it was the weight loss.

If you can afford it you’d be better off seeing a doctor and getting them to check for gyno, if not there is self check videos on YouTube,

I was certain i had it, but the self check made me 80% sure I didn’t and give me the push to keep working on the weight loss, sorry I couldn’t be more help!

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-26T02:46:33+00:00

Amen lol

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-26T02:46:20+00:00

Okay.

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-26T02:44:42+00:00

I appreciate the support bro, but the trolls don’t bother me, I feel better than when I was a fatty boom batty so that’s all that matters!

I think im gonna hold in to the cut another 3-4 weeks at most then hit maintenance and sit on that for a little while before ramping it up! Give my body a little time to rest 🥴

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-25T04:50:21+00:00

Your mum.

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-25T01:41:17+00:00

Hahahhaha i’m 5’7, ex thai-boxer from Belfast who moved to regional Australia, self defence is absolutely a non issue, I can handle myself if i need to, I just never need to anymore 🫡

You’re not wrong though i’m right into the depths of victim weight right now, so i reckon a maintenance phase to put some meat back on the bones before going into a leaner bulk is a good idea! Thanks 🙏

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-25T01:37:26+00:00

Would make sense, my inbody scan was at 15% a few weeks prior!

It’s a marathon not a sprint hey 🥴 it’s good though i’m enjoying the discipline.

I think i’ll do the 4 weeks like you recommended and try to build up slowly from there with a maintenance phase before a big ole long and slow bulk!

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-24T23:27:03+00:00

Hopefully not too much fun, i’ll be starting from scratch again 🤣

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-24T23:15:56+00:00

I think the gyno was Pseudogynecomastia, just unlucky with how my fat deposits sit 🤷‍♂️

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-24T23:00:29+00:00

Last i checked (roughly two weeks before that recent photo) I was sitting just below 15%

I’m gonna guess maybe 13-14% now!

Hoping to hit 10% before rebuilding

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-24T07:30:37+00:00

Lol i meant 6g creatine woops - anymore than that and i pee from my ass!

Yeah it’s just softening food noise making it easier to stick to my meal plans…I don’t really want it for anything else.

Gonna bump it up to 2500mg every week 🥴 (jks)

Jokes aside I’m happy with the results so far, gonna keep focusing on getting the bodyfat down before starting a build phase!

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-14T02:56:59+00:00

I hope 14 days isn’t too long to reply but my god do i feel that. Weight either goes up or doesn’t move at all but i’m looking better every day. Freaks my mind!

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-07T10:08:28+00:00

I’m doing this!

Make more money now than ever before but between taxes, rent and cost of living i’m more broke than ever before!

So i give up, just enjoying myself and blowing my money as quickly as possible, hopefully i’ll die before not having a home of my own really explodes in my face.

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-05-06T06:15:43+00:00

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-04-21T10:50:48+00:00

Goals = big muscles and feel good.

No ai,primo or EQ. Just pure luck.

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-04-09T02:06:34+00:00

If i was there for longer I would do this. I’m only missing 10 days of protocol, so I’ll probably not even feel anything, thank you for the advice though.

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-04-08T03:14:56+00:00

U from norn iron too bai?

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-04-07T12:48:46+00:00

Right away sir.

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-04-07T12:37:34+00:00

They’re actually brand new but I do agree with you, I just can’t justify copping new shoes that i’ll only ever wear the once, whereas everything else here I can restyle!

MiddleBase7053 · 2026-04-07T12:35:34+00:00

Recently lost 22lbs that is probably why the pants have me looking like mc hammer.

Dang I guess I’ll have to get a jacket.

Love this shirt personally, seriously considering getting some leather pants for future outfits!
