Hey everyone, wow it's been such a long time since I've been on here. Recently (about a month) I've been back in the gym I got a new membership at golds and I decided I want to start meal prepping and lose some fat before I start a little bulk. I've been meal prepping for about two weeks now and boy is it hard! I slipped over the weekend when I went out with some friends but I didn't give up I decided to start right back up the next day. I'm 5'6" 136lbs my calories are at 1600 160c 120p 53f I usually end up a little lower then 1600cals but more protein and less fat. I lift 5 days a week low rep heavy( for me) weight. 3-4 exercises each body group depends what I'm working out that day. And I typically do 15min stair master moderatly tough after my workouts. I'm just curious if anyone can recommend any foods with some good macros in them to keep me interested. I love arctic zero ice cream, power crunch bars, Ezekiel bread etc I love finding out new things to try. Also I'm curious if I should be eating more after I work out or still stick with the 1600. I'd like to stay on a calorie deficit until I lose about 5lb of fat. Then I want to start a bulk.

Food?

There are no special foods you need to eat. Use a wide variety of whole food sources in terms of proteins, carbs, fats and veggies. If there's something you don't like don't eat it.

If your focus is fat loss use the same calorie intake daily.
