I’ve always been a fan of spreadsheets. A lot of my life resolves around them. You might find this template I made up useful, I plan to use it for this month of May. For April, I was following a similar guide like this, but not as well organized, scheduled, or logged. I only had recipies, and a target marcro in mind.
It is targeting a low fat, high carb diet, as I’ve been trying to lean up. I’m currently targeting about 2400-2500 calories, 10-15% fat, 55-60% carb, 35% protein per day. For March/April I lost 10lb mostly fat, then I gained some of it back after getting out of the hospital, and being spoiled by my mothers cooking lol. Time to follow the guide again.
It’s a work in progress, and want to make a dedicated thread on it after another month of work, and just playing with the data a bit. But thought it might provide some value. I’m hesitant to make the thread yet, as both the unforseen health event adding a lot of variables, and I want to give the diet log a good 3-4 months as usually the last couple of months your body has adjusted to the new diet, and I’d assume results might not be as consistent. I also need to better track my workouts, I’m not really sticking to a real workout log atm.
