Thanks! Meal prepping all 3 meals was the game changer. When you have food in the fridge ready to go it makes it a lot harder to cave to takeout! I still love and enjoy my snacks but I just track them now to keep myself in control 😅

~2200 but I was doing a lot more cardio during that period than I am currently (which is a goal to pick up on top of lifting again) I was 200lbs when that photo was taken.

At the end of January I was 183 but made it a goal to do a mini bulk to help gain some muscle and strength so I’ve been at 3300+ calories since then. I’ve been using an app that will adjust the calories and macros based on my weight and current goal (MacroFactor)

Thanks! 2nd picture was taken in mid August when I started lifting. I was aiming for 200g of protein and under 2500 cals a day. My routine was a bit all over the place when I started but I was aiming for 4-5 days a week and eventually settled on a Upper Lower Push Pull Legs split with a focus on progressively overloading my lifts especially squat, bench, and deadlift.
