I do it as simply as anyone, essentially I will eat the same portions of food each day just vary up the type of protein.

Depending on my goal I will eat breakfast;

2 eggs
50 bacon pieces
Mushrooms and capsicum

Or 70g of oats berries and yoghurt

Two meals during the day;

150g of beer chicken turkey etc
Heaps of veggies
100-150g of rice

Dinner will be;

200g of beef chicken fish
Veggies
200-300g of potato (sweet or white)

If you really want to track your calories then spend some time measuring food. You will be surprised at how good you become at eyeballing portion sizes.

Use frozen veggies, place in your container the night before and the thaw out.

Buy packets of beef, chicken etc. for how much you need in one day. For example need 500g buy a 500g packet and just simply cook all at once for one day no need to measure.

Rice, personally I boil mine up but you can buy the packet stuff which is portioned and just place in microwave for 2 mins.

A few little short cuts to reduced prep time.

interesting study on gluten in the diet.

Letter to the editor [British Medical Journal] : Are gluten-free diets among people without celiac disease „mass murder“? Re: Long term gluten consumption in adults without celiac disease and risk of coronary heart disease: prospective cohort study

Dear Sir.


We challenge the conclusions of the recent study by Lebwohl, et al (1) which reported that while long-term dietary gluten consumption in people without coeliac disease may not be related to heart disease risk, "the avoidance of gluten may result in reduced consumption of beneficial whole grains, which may affect cardiovascular risk." Their statements, which have led to a rapid spread of misinformation on social media, can be challenged from several perspectives...

My body weight dropped from ~84kg to ~79kg this uni term, mostly cos I didn't plan very well in terms of eating around classes, travel etc (that and I'm the slowest eater in the world)
Bit of reading and consultation with a friend have given me, everything else being equal (which it never does), an extra ~2100 calories/day
Shake (~900) with 300mL favoured milk, 4 eggs, 1 cup of oats and a banana
'Trail mix' (~1100) with 76g mixed nuts (split 50:50 on salted/unsalted), 26g mixed rice nibbles, 26g bhuja crackers and 70g M&Ms.
Trail mix numbers sound odd but it's a packet of each divided by 7 (yields about 220g total a day).
We'll see how we go, but I'm not going to jump straight into all of that as I'll just end up with a bunch of undrunk/leftover food. Likely start with 50% of that volume and increase it 5-10% each week until I reach that amount unless it starts affecting my other weeks during the day (last time I tried something like this was GOMAD and I lost weight as all the milk made me shit every 5 minutes and feel sick enough that I didn't eat anything else lol).
I'm not too concerned about excess weight gain as I figure at some point the calories vs my body weight will level out and I'll just start naturally recomping somewhat.
Also need to keep track of the banana(s) as they typically make me feel like I've got really bad heartburn/reflux

How many carbs to eat while cutting?
Click to expand...

As many as you can while still losing weight. Everyone is different, some genetic freaks can cut on 400g others put on weight looking at a potato
 
Just a mini-rant. But the flip is with this "healthy at every size" movement? Scientifically that's false. You can't be healthy at every size. Doesn't mean I'm going to judge you or think less of you if you're overweight. But the science literally shows you will almost always become healthier by losing as little as 5% of your BW. A couple of my dietitian friends gave me shit because I post weight loss pics of my clients and I have topless pics on the internet. the flip ?!?!?! /rant
 
Bro-scientists have always told bodybuilders to eat cottage cheese before bed because casein is a slow-absorbing protein, they may have a point.
Did that study note what sort of protein was consumed?

I haven't gone over the study with a fine tooth comb but from what I could gather casein was less optimal from a MPS point of view.

40g whey produced the best results

Anyone tried fatblaster tablets/supplements or something similar when cutting or trying to just lose weight?

Anything legal and over the counter will help a tiny amount if you are already a low body fat levels.

As hard as it is just eat a little less food, that's the best fat burner.

Who eats protein bars?

I swear I've just learnt there not actually healthy, tasted too good. Always eaten the Carman muesli/protein bars. Quest bars actually look decent but are so expensive

I just eat cheese or nut butter or 90% chocolate for a much tastier, nutritious and healthier snack.

Nothing is inherently unhealthy (eating 2-4 pieces of chocolate isn't bad for you but eating a whole block isn't good for you), some food you can't indulge on, there is worst things you can eat. I find protein bars useful if I'm really hungry and want something sweet or just an easy way to bump up protein intake.

Quantity is important when it comes to food, having a donut once a week isn't bad for you if the rest of your diet is in check, eating a donut every day is unhealthy

Some people out there would have you believe eating a tea spoon of sugar will kill you

In moderation they aren't a bad thing, not doubt some people don't see the "hidden"
Calories in these drinks and think they are somewhat healthy but they are full of sugar.
