I'm finding this target reaching quite dificault. I thought most people struggled to reach protein targets and hard to keep the others down? I seem to be the oposite.
ACTUALS Calaries Protein Carbohydrates Fat
Monday 3124.6 296.85 405.885 32.002
Tuesday 2739.3 199.915 428.14 23.942
Wednesday 2881.1 185.22 492.815 16.979
Thursday 3806.7 246.49 604.785 40.984
Not sure if those will come out easy to read. My goals are -
Calaries - 2720
Protein - 175
Carb - 438
Fat - 33
I'm really struggling to get carb and cal up to target, fat i'm not too worried about being low. Also any time i try eat more of my selected foods i just keep on adding protein.
Thursday is a little different as i had icecream(diabetic stuff) and peanut butter.
My main food items are as follows. I try to eat things that don't take much prepairing as i don't have much time during the week, finish work at 6, drive home and to gym, out by 8ish, eat at 9, bed by 10-11.
Tesco 3% Fat thick sausages
Safeway Low Fat Cottage Cheese
Pasta (Buitoni, Cellentani)
Yogurt, Fruit, Low Fat
Raisins
Milk, Skimmed
Tuna, Brine
Sweetcorn, canned
Bagel, Sesame
Cereal - All-Bran
Cereal - Safeway Wheat Bisks
Banana (1 Banana = 120g)
Chicken Breast
Turkey
Peanut Butter
Rice
Diabetic icecream
Sweet and Sour sauce, Tesco
Any sugestions would be great.

You seem to be doing pretty okay to me, it is after all only a guideline, how is your body responding to it all?

Well i have to go to the toilet a lot lol, and i ache, and i have to go to the toilet, i'm alot less tired(mostly due to getting more sleep), and did i mention i have to go to the toilet a lot yet? =)
I seem to be going ok, i don't feel hungry except after my evening workout, most of the time i actually feel stuffed and struggle to eat it all. I guess i'll stay how i am and see how it goes.
After a couple of weeks(1 week strict) i'm 1kg heavier lol, but i'm not too bothered about that.
I plan to give by body another week to get used to what i'm doing to it and then start using ECA.
I do have some protein suplement but to be honest i've not used it. I consider useing it after a workout but by diets protein levels are just so high, i don't want to get too much protein.

Well, there's nothing wrong with being regular, as long as it's not diarrhea or anything like that. And if you're getting enough protein from real food, then there really is no need to worry about supplementing. Good luck to you!

I got from your profile that you are looking to reduce weight not gain. Your cals & carbs seem high to me. Maybe I misunderstood something? What is your goal to lose fat and gain muscle. Or are you just trying to bulk up what is your height & weight?

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.

Well, if you don't start losing weight in a couple of weeks, try decreasing your calories by 250 and see what happens.
