Trying to lose 10-15 pounds - Diet Log

[916lude]

Currently fluctuate between 160-165lbs and weighed in day 1 at 164.8. 5'9" and regularly exercise although not much lately. Have been on a quest to get into the 150's since weighing 210 a year and a half ago. I've hit a brick wall in the 160's...

Lunch was heavy for sure. Needed to kill the leftovers. My eating times were a bit screwed up today as well. Looking to start training some form of martial arts in the next week or two to up the activity so that should help shed some lbs.

Thanks. I go to work anywhere from 5:30-6:30 every morning so getting any workout done in the AM never works for me. And I've pretty much screwed up the last two days.

I know the cereal is a no-no or any late night snacking for that matter. I usually make my own almond butter or buy the natural sunflower seed butter. I'll try out natural peanut butter. Need to get back on the oatmeal also I agree.

I love the smoothies. I can definitely cut down/out some of the fruits in it though.

Thanks!

good luck man, im in about the same boat as you. ideally, i like to be between 138-44. the problem is that when you start dropping weight when you're already that light, it takes a pretty strict diet.

when im under 140 i have to keep about 90% of my carb intake before 3pm. and my diet was pretty lame:

breakfast: 2 hardboiled eggs, cliff bar, banana or apple.

lunch: chicken/lean beef, dark greens, rice/potatos/noodles, smoothie.

dinner: lean meat, greens, omelet(5 whites/1 yoke).

almost everday was like that, kinda shitty.
also, you dont think the 150's is too light for you? i mean, i'm short as fuck(5'5"') and barely hovered around the weight i mentioned. im pretty beefy though

Everyone that knows me doesn't believe I'm even 160 lol. They all think I'm around 185. Looking at belly fat, I think around 155ish and that will be gone. I'm not skinny either. Not as beefy as I used to be, but I look a lot more like a weight lifter than a runner
