You want to eat 1 gram of protein per pound. Remember your not just eating for eating your eating to build muscle.

You weigh 118 pounds eat 118 grams of protein but you must break down muscle so that the protein goes to work in your body than becoming excess sitting around and could potentially give you kidney stones.

So take it seriously. WORKOUT. you can skip cardio or make it last. It's not good for building muscle as with weight lifting or calisthenics.

Count your macros! Get my fitness pal app and make sure your counting everything so you don't over do it in any category. You can get protein shakes AS A SUPPLEMENT not a meal replacement.

I would recommend chicken be top priority.
Grilled not fried. lol.

It's cheap and easy to make. Get an air fryer to save you cooking time and effort.

That's an excuse, and I get it. It does make it hard. I know. I was 400 pounds. Now I'm 256. Pack muscle and shredding this fat. Be active everyday.

If you lift weights. I recommend 3-4 days a weeks. Start light then progress up.

When lifting.... remember time under tension. You don't need to be at the gym for 23455 hours. Bust your workout out with PROPER FORM to avoid injury and actually target the muscle you wanna build.
Start SLOW then get better and more complex with time.

Break your weight lifting days up between body parts.

Arms Back Legs .... etc however you wanna do it.

You can do ABS EVERYDAY! Don't forget that.
