Hello, I'm new here
Been (lazily) working for a while now, and I've gotten pretty big, well, I was never really that small to be honest. I weight 83kg (about 180lbs?) and am about 1.83m (or 6ft). I was eating kind of junky until about 6 months ago, and since then I've been trying to eat and drink less worthless junk and I like the results. I was never a person that overly enjoys food so I want to kick it up a notch. I did a bit of reading and took a handy nutrition value calculator and came up with this:
Calories Protein Fat Carbs Fiber Sodium
2,065.1 182.0 61.8 188.0 21.5 2,298.8
% of Calories: 36% 27% 37%
Oil, Olive [Star]
1 tbsp
2 servings: 240.0 0.0 28.0 0.0 N 0.0
Fish, Tuna, steaks, raw [Volcano]
4 oz=112 g
3 servings: 309.0 54.0 3.0 0.0 0.0 87.0
Rice, Brown, Long Grain, cooked
1 cup=237 ml or 6.9 oz=195 g
216.5 5.0 1.8 44.8 3.5 9.8
Chicken, breast, meat only, fried
1/2 breast, 3 oz=86 g
2 servings: 321.6 57.6 8.2 8.8 0.0 135.8
Eggs, Chicken, white only, raw
1 large, 1.2 oz=33 g
8 servings: 137.6 28.8 0.8 1.6 0.0 438.4
Bread, Wheat, 100% Whole [Oroweat]
2 slices, 1.6 oz=45 g
6 servings: 660.0 24.0 6.0 132.0 18.0 1,440.0
Eggs, Chicken, fried
1 large, 1.6 oz=46 g
2 servings: 180.4 12.6 14.0 0.8 0.0 187.8
So that's 2k calories (I usually eat about 2800) of the best foods I can easily aquire. The problem is that it seems a bit too much food. Do you think it's ok? I plan to eat about 2300-2400 to lose some of my excess fat while working out to not lose much muscle, then bring it back up to about 3000. I'm pretty new to this, so I'm not sure at all whether what I'm doing is the right thing to do.
Thanks alot for any help
