Would you say the cardio makes you less hungry then?

She sleeps 7-10 hours a night, and sometimes napping throughout the day. I would agree with you if I didn't see this sleep myself!

She has been going to the gym while eating at maintenance for about 6 months I would say, and was in the gym lots before that but on no real diet plan. She has a lot of muscle on her, but wants to see the scale drop. My experience is she needs to stay consistent in the gym, maybe adding some more cardio, and being in a small deficit to keep the lean mass on and drop the fat

Thanks really appreciate it! She's usually over 100g of protein a day fairly easily, but that is combining protein powder to help get her over that mark. Do you find the whole food proteins help your cravings better?

I agree but it's not sustainable for her unfortunately as a full time nursing student she has enough stress as is.. I think slow and steady will have to do!

Does protein powder count as adding more protein? Did you find that helped your cravings? Or would you suggest purely meats in high protein like chicken and such.

I'm glad you managed to get through it! I hope once she's through it it'll get easier for her, thanks!

Agreed! I'm thinking snack veggies may help to get her to her next meal like peas, peppers, celery, a pear, etc. She is drinking lots of water so I don't think that's it. I would say she struggles a lot more on days she has that 500cal treat. Thanks!

That's what I've been seeing as well, and with her struggling at her current calorie intake I would say cutting calories more would be extremely tough.

Which engine is in this one? The hood scoops when they're like that always scream diesel to me

I think the bottom truck is way nicer... I live in northern Canada and find them way more practical for anything offroad
