forgot to mention that I was 15 y.o at the time.

I was morbidly obese before bro.

lost about 70 pounds of fat in 6 months, got down to 170, no muscle with loose skin.

Bulked up to 200, now i'm starting a cut again.

By meal 4/5 do you mean you eat 1 c rice 1 c broccoli 8 oz chicken for meal 4 and then the same for meal 5? If so I think it looks pretty good. How lean we're you in your avi?

yeah exactly.

I was probably 16-18% there, strong lighting and angles etc.

my maintenance calories is between 2600-2700, and in that case, i'll probably toss in a handful of almonds as a snack as well.

any ideas for how to add more veggies into my diet?

Google Linda's low carb recipes and you can get every food you've craved in a low carb option. It has really helped me stay on track.

lol yeah eat more veggies! How are you cooking your eggs in the morning? I always make a spinach or bell pepper omelette. Snack on some baby carrots, PB & celery.. Use your imagination! I personally love making a big salad with lettuce, cucumber, onion, tomato.. Throw some ham & hard boiled eggs on it with ranch!

Ants on a log (celery, PB & raisins) are a great snack.

Also, if you're looking for volume, green beans are 40 calories for a cup.

perfect, green beans don't take any prep time do they? I rarely eat them, I may start stocking up on them.
