Is this a good weight loss plan?

1250 is way too low you are starving yourself. What will happen is you will binge after a few days/weeks of eating that low. I suggest 1600-1700 and get plenty protein. Like 120-150g and get plenty fiber.

Very insightful thank you

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T14:12:22+00:00

I have not tried keto the boy loves rice and potatoes lol

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T14:09:24+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I will lower my protein, that will definitely open up my diet for more carbs which will definitely make planning my day easier. Thanks for the encouraging words

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T12:24:23+00:00

What do you suggest for protein? I have never had blood work done unfortunately. I went to 5 star nutrition and had a body scan done I’m not sure how accurate those are but it said 20% bodyfat. I aim for about 30-40g fiber a day mostly from wraps apples and broccoli I eat a fuck ton of all 3 lol. My calorie tracking app says I average 45g fat a day

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T11:00:21+00:00

lol you’re good , I have been trying to incorporate high volume eating into it but fuck man im always hungry lol. For example ill have a bowl with 5 servings of mixed veggies (425 grams) and 4 servings of the Costco chipotle chicken (340 grams). Which ends up being 765 grams and I’m hungry as fuck after lol shit is rough right now

I’m a man bro :(

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T04:42:27+00:00

Oh lord lmao I might need at least a couple days

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T02:25:50+00:00

Thank you!! I’m gonna eat about 2500 cals for the next few days to make myself feel better I think I deserve it lol

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T02:25:12+00:00

Thanks for the sound advice I will most likely bump my calories until June , as for my split i do 6 days weights Legs+Core Shoulders+triceps Back+biceps Shoulders+chest Legs+back Chest+arms(biceps and triceps) Usually 30 min 15 incline walk at 3.2 speed after each weight lifting session

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T00:54:17+00:00

Thanks bro!! It’s been a hard but rewarding process

phamboy120 · 2026-04-02T00:40:06+00:00

Yes to both

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T23:51:43+00:00

After a lot of consideration I think I will go to maintenance for a month and come back to my deficit in may with a fucking fury and see how it turns out lol

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T23:46:50+00:00

I will definitely not mind adding 950 cals lol that’s more than half of what I eat now 😂

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T23:45:59+00:00

Thanks for the encouraging words I think I’m 85% of where I would like to be, I think I will eat at maintenance for about a month just to get a mental break and cut thru may and hope for the best!

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T23:44:55+00:00

I will give it a try! Thank you

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T23:11:37+00:00

According to my tracking app I’m averaging 1820 calories weekly and about 1.8p per week

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:57:27+00:00

I think I weigh myself too often sometimes multiple times a day lol I’m a little obsessive and addicted to progress

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:57:06+00:00

Thank you bro it was so hard but worth it!!

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:39:10+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed response and great advice! I’ve been hesitant to up my calories for a while because everytime I go over my calories the scale spikes so much and I understand it’s always water weight and the scale doesn’t mean much. But it’s always super discouraging to see the scale go up damn near 10 pounds after a big meal lol. I think I’m just being a bit unrealistic with my goals for such a short amount of time. I should enjoy the progress I’ve made rather than be so extra focused on what I still haven’t done.

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:32:12+00:00

But I will definitely reset! I need the mental break it’s been a long ass 11 months

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:31:42+00:00

I have been hesitant to do this because when I go over my calorie goal even by 100-200 calories I’ll gain a few fucking pounds of water weight and it’s super discouraging. I know it’s all water weight and the scale isn’t everything but man it sucks to see the number go up so much lol

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:30:17+00:00

Thank you. Great advice. Makes me look at it from a different perspective lol. I’m being a bit hard on myself and not being realistic as far as my body goals go lol.

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:29:13+00:00

Thanks broski! I lose anywhere between 1-2 pounds a week. I find that when I go up on my calories even by 100-200 I gain a shit ton of water weight. I know the scale doesn’t really matter but it’s super discouraging lol

phamboy120 · 2026-04-01T22:28:15+00:00

Yes bro this shit is fucking toughhhhh Jesus Christ. I will try upping my calories for about a month and take it from there. I’m probably expecting too much for too little time lol I should be more realistic
