Right, so since monday I've been pretty much on my own for food. Before I'd have most of my food bought/cooked for me so it's a little daunting but I'm seeing an opportunity for a healthier lifestyle.
I was raised with quite a bit of junk food alongside fairly basic meals. Sausage, chips & beans. Fish, potatoes and peas etc...were typical meals. I used to consume allot of junk food and sugary beverages around that.
I'm about 5ft 10 and 82kg.
I can definitely lose a little weight.
In the past I have felt my best weight to be around 75-77kg.
I'd like to try and get back down to that weight
In conjunction with this, I'll also be doing the 'starting strength'

Breakfast
- Scrambled egg (2)(margarine/milk/salt).
- 2 Slices of wholemeal toast (margarine).
- Half tin of baked beans.
- 3 rashers of bacon.
- Glass of milk.
Lunch
- Large Protein Shake with milk
Dinner
- Spinach & Recotta Tortellini pasta with tomato and basil sauce, mixed vegetables(peas, carrots, sweetcorn), thin strips of bacon, onions, green & red peppers, crushed garlic, tsp of margarine & a pinchof salt all mixed together.
It was amazing.
Snack
- Half tin of baked beans, 2 pieces of wholemeal toast.
Note:
I realise I'm consuming perhaps too much bacon atm (if that's even possible?) and using perhaps a little too much margarine and salt across the day. I'm thinking of replacing margarine with some coconut oil and I could probably use that as a healthier substitute for the vegetable oil I'm currently using to fry things.
I'm currently waiting for a massive bag of oats to be delivered so I can cut down on my breakfast size. Hopefully it'll all be worth it.
