Thanks man, I'm trying! I'm feeling really good and unlike the last few times I'm actually enjoying logging my meals and figuring out what I can and cant eat. Its not a chore this time, I'm actually looking forward to logging everything for once. My goal right now is 80-20. 80% good clean food and 20% kind of whatever I want but even within that 20% I'm make much better choices. Instead of eating half a bag of chips while watching tv I'm eating apples and peanut butter and instead of fries I'm doing salads but I'm measuring the dressing.

Honestly it sounds counter productive but I'm not prepping anything. I'm actually following along much better without meal prep.

I get annoyed spending 2-3 hours prepping, cooking and cleaning for the week and I hate dry rice and chicken.

I cook enough chicken and rice for 2 maybe 3 meals and that's it. So its always fresh and juicy still. I usually only cook enough fish for dinner and 1 extra meal the next day.
The only time I'm prepping right now is when I'm going to be away all day and cant cook or when I cook a bunch of meat in the crock pot.

Once I start incorporating workouts I will start meal prepping a little bit, because my only complaint right now is I'm NOT eating enough protein. So to ensure I'm eating adequate protein ill meal prep a couple meals throughout the day to make sure I'm hitting my targets.

I'm also fasting so I'll trey to wait until I can get home and cook something before I eat or ill get chipotle. As you can see I eat there a lot lol. Its cheap, its at least somewhat healthy and I enjoy it and I can count at least to an 85-90% accuracy the macros. I spend more on a burger meal at wendys then I do at chipotle so its my go to place for food when I don't want to or cant cook.

Right now my sole goal is to slowly turn this into a habit and back into an enjoyable hobby and to lose fat. I will start adding more calories, more protein and being slightly more strict on prepping/eating once I lose about 20 more pounds or so. at least that's the plan right now.
