Hi guys,
I'm struggling to hit my caloric goal of 3k - I've gone over my plan below and feeling pretty confident but I'd really appreciate some recommendations. (I'm 5'10, 135lbs btw.)
My goal is to hit 3,000c within 3 big meals.
Currently I've been eating two meals a day. 1 small 412c breakfast consisting of pancakes a huge dinner. Dinner = 530g chicken and 450g potatos w/ veggies + 570c chocolate bar (takes 3 hours to eat :-o)
I've managed to hit my protein and fat macro everyday which is a good start but 2,000 calories a day is a big deficit. (1,500 calories if I don't eat chocolate).
The first problem I could work on is eating a bigger breakfast besides the 412c pancakes.
Updated plan would be:
900c breakfast
1,300c dinner
500c dessert
that'd bring me to 2,700c
Then I'd just need 300c for lunch or 800c lunch if I don't play on eating chocolate that day.
My macros today without eating dessert left me at a sad 1,500c: Protein 160g, Fats 35g (pretty low need at least 60), 137g carbs (uhg...)
Note: I've always had mild constipation so it makes some days difficult to want to eat a lot. I've been walking, drinking gallon of water, hitting fiber, drinking coffee and prune juice every morning, which seems to be helping but not well enough. Hoping to see results with more consistency, would be cool to know if anything has directly helped any of you.
