It fell out of my pocket at the gym & cracked so I went back to iPhone like 2.5 weeks ago

Whole Foods Wednesday w/ the Girlfriend

I got cilantro rice, spanish rice, chicken breast, a sliver of mac & cheese + mashed potatoes, mushroom and broccoli



How I estimated the macros:

The whole thing came out to 16.1 oz so I looked at it & saw that it was about 5 oz of chicken, I would say the 2 scoops of rice is equivalent to Chipotle's 2 scoops so 4 oz each, then I used KFC's mac & cheese and mashed potatoes judging that it is about half to 3/4 that serving I just made it a full serving to slightly overshoot.

5-6 oz chicken + 8 oz rice = 13 oz.. Yogurtland's container is 0.5 oz & this is about double that so let's say 1 oz.. that's 14 oz.. add 0.75 oz of mac & cheese and 0.75 oz of mashed potatoes & you got about 15.5 to 16.1 oz total

I guesstimated the macros to be 15F - 80C - 45P.. if we actually add it up.. it comes out to
795 calories.. 23F - 103C - 48P.. which gets us to 20% margin of error.. which is "close enough"

All in all.. doing it this way gets me a helluva lot closer than just saying "fck it"

[IK9]

Down to a new low of 157.2#

I haven't tried the Android, I just stick with what I know. I don't have anything against one or the other.

After years of putting it off, I have finally come to terms with my fate & so I will be getting all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out on Monday. Gonna switch to primarily a liquid & mush diet.. probably lotsa oatmeal

Yikes! I got this done about 3yrs ago (was going to get braces so had to get all 4 removed on the same day), I too had procrastinated for years but they kept getting infected and bringing me problems the longer I had them. Looking back i think it's just the first few days that are the worst then starts to get better from there. I've never regretted it though and stopped getting a whole lot of issues that I had before. All the best with that

Also I think it's really great you and your girlfriend support each other in your healthy lifestyle, nothing beats IRL support for sure. And loving the food pics too

I'm glad your wisdom teeth removal went well & that you're not having any more issues with them. I feel anxious about the surgery but it's all good! Just more excited about how it will affect/limit my food options.

Thanks for the kind words!

Yeah.. I did notice strength loss (1-2 reps per set and 10-20 lbs).... probably from a mixture of losing weight & not getting gains from unicorn land anymore lol.. however.. I'm not really concerned with it because 1) i'm not a powerlifter 2) aesthestics is the only goal lol

Huge new low: 152.2#

I did a planned 500-700 calorie increase from my usual ~2350 calories on Saturday to ~2950 calories
My weight shot up from 156.8 to 158 on Sunday the next morning
Today after using the restroom.. I dropped to 152.2

It is a pretty steep drop.

I think I'm gonna keep things the same this week at 65F - 250C - 190P & have another 500-700 calorie increase on Saturday
Cardio will be kept the same also at 300 kcal 5x a week

Billy Bnizzle from the Contest Prep section is gonna take me to get all 4 wisdom teeth pulled today.. I'll update when I can
