Hello,
I haven't been eating proper breakfast for years. So, I decided to add morning shakes to my diet. My goal is to have weight loss. I have started to put everything in a blender that that should be good for breakfast. However, now I'm suspecting I am taking too many calories all at once and for breakfast. Am I correct, or is this fine?
Oatmeal
Peanut Butter
Whey Protein Powder
Vegetable Greens Powder

You don't have to eat breakfast. If your goal is weight loss then you need to be in a caloric deficit. Including or excluding specific food items wont make you lose weight. Follow the guide below.
- Calculate your calories using the stickies below or IIFYM Calculator
- Apply a 10% deficit or surplus to your total intake based on your goal.
- Make adjustments on a 2 week basis. Raise or lower your intake by 100kcal of whichever macronutrient you prefer provided minimum fat and protein requirements are met.
- Track your weight daily or weekly at the same time of day for accuracy.
- Aim to lose or gain 1-1.5lbs per 2 weeks. More overweight individuals may safely lose up to 2-3lbs per week.
- Pick a novice program and be consistent.
- To track your macros use an application such as MyFitnessPal , Cron-O-Meter , MyMacros+ , Fitocracy
- Acquire a food scale to accurately track your macros. How to use a food scale Food Scale 101
