Well at this point I've concluded and figured out my diet is going to make and break who I am and how well I do with this. Quick run down:
21, Male, 5'10", 198 lbs, Body Fat unknown.
Goal: Fat loss currently. I'd like to rank somewhere like 6-10% body fat.
Right now I'd like to break down just by rough time sections what I eat and get some feedback. Here's my biggest issue(2):
#1: I am picky, and not because I won't try stuff, I have had little success with new foods. So really I have no issues witha stagnant diet. Now a new approach I will probably take is cooking my own meals and everything but my schedule is INCREDIBLY busy with stuff. Basically I will try something once assuming it is fesible and doesn't interfer with #2 and if I like it I can put into my meals everyday and be ok. I don't lose interest due to the same thing over and over again.
#2: Texture/chewing kills me. I have a LOT of issues chewing my food, especially properly. Certain textures regardless of flavor make me feel sick. Salads for example, everything I've tried tastes good but the texture makes my body feel sick. I can't eat noodles but I can eat angel hair pasta fine. If anyone has a way to get over this PLEASE help me because this kills a LOT of food options for me. (I am aware this also may be partially associated to a bad diet for so long but breaking this habit, well, it's a resort I'd really like to avoid by just beating it through my head that I will eat this stuff.)
Breakfast Foods:
I eat Cheerios with a small amount of Skim Milk every morning after I wake up. I am considering adding a banana to my mornings as well and possibly eggs. I also drink a glass of 16oz glass of the milk. I also usually have a breakfast bar from South Beach Diet for a late morning snack for a 2nd meal pretty much everyday(2 hrs after breakfast usually). Is this a solid morning start for proper intake? What can I improve? What should I continue? I am aware this isn't a balance of calories over intake times but I intend to work on that later. I just want to get my pantry/abilities for cooking over to a HEALTHY regime. I will also be looking into making my own bars eventually but considering I can't cook crap yet and I have very few utencils to do so I am willing to accept prebought good stuff that I can eat without taste issues.
Lunch+Dinner coming later. Probably when I get bored at work tonight.
