calorie deficit. my Breakfast: two eggs, a handful of ground turkey, any veggie I want (good for volume) and lemon greek yogurt sauce i made my Lunch: I typically don’t eat lunch because I have a late breakfast after fasting, but if I were to eat lunch, it would just be leftovers from dinner before or a little snack My Dinner: depending on how my calories are going for the day, I can often to give myself a little treat and have some pasta and meat

start a calorie deficit while eating nutritional foods. make sure you’re incorporating cardio as well, it’s also beneficial to lift during this if you plan on putting on muscle but that part isn’t necessary/as important. when starting a deficit and cutting out unhealthy foods try fitting them into your day instead of completely cutting them off. if ice cream is x amount of calories, work it into part of your dinner instead of skipping dinner altogether (or skipping ice cream altogether.)

i'm the same height!! ofc yeah cal deficit, i really recommend getting a food scale and use it to understand portions rather than viewing it as restriction, over time you'll be able to eyeball it (some people use it whenever they can, once i knew roughly how much my staples were i stopped sweating it). my go to is 1-2 high water content fruit like apples or oranges (or whatever my friend gifts me from her garden cuz it's free 99) and a protein smoothie (2 servings yogurt, 2 serv egg whites,

it is easier to slowly lay off of bad foods as opposed to completely quitting at once but the main thing is just cut down how much you eat (a healthy amount), track what you eat because it’s super easy to eat more than you realize, and start doing cardio

but if my calories are cutting it close for the day I’ll usually do some things similar to breakfast without the eggs and maybe a salad. I always have a sweet treat. My best advice is to get fruit and freeze it. Or get frozen fruit whichever one makes you happier and then get some dark chocolate and just melt it on top.

also, if your student or you work from home, I always recommend getting a standing desk with a walking pad. Every morning, I walk and drink caffeine too fast until my legs get too tired. You can pretty easily hit 10k steps in about 3 hours. If you like playing video games, this is also a really good suggestion because you get into flow state with whatever you’re playing and you forget that you’re walking.

2 scoops protein isolate esp if ik im gonna be a bit lazy later, frozen fruit + ice) for 80+g protein for similar kcal to 2 scoops of a protein shake powder. lunch is usually a can of sardines in oil or steamed eggs or seasoned shrimp + veg + fruit, and dinner has lately been my obsession of cold smoked mackerel, cucumbers, and potato salad. if you like foraging, in spring i also love blanched young nettle cuz they're surprisingly nutrient dense lol.

but besides kitchen stuff stay hydrated, get enough sleep (recovery is essential for your goals!!!), get 10k-15k steps everyday, and lifting weights is great for toning as you lose weight
