Left is the 'before' shot, and right is about 7+ weeks after, with some heavy food intake.
I'm mildly disappointed, as there isn't an obvious difference though I am a good 4.5kg (!) heavier. I was 66, now 70.5kg.
If anything, it only looks like my waist got bigger.with no real change in proportion in other areas.
The increase in belly fat is more obvious from this side angle. Well, I think the left shot I am sucking in slightly... I don't think my stomach was that flat. But yea.
I think most of my weight gain, probably 3.5kg were in fat, and just 1kg in muscle, judging from the pics. Assuming that is true, my target weight now is 67kg, so I will diet until I hit that weight., then start eating normally again.
My diet in this time looked something like that:
Breakfast was usually 3 sandwiches, peanut butter, cheese+jam, or nutella. Lunch was 2 portions of canteen food (e.g. 2 plates of chicken rice, or 2 plates of fish and chips), dinner was whatever mom bought/cooked.
Then I have 2 additional meals , a 'brunch' and a 'tea' snack. I change them everyday, for variety:
4 + 4 eggs, with 1 cup of oatmeal each time
1 + 1 can of tuna, with 1 cup of oatmeal each time
1 + 1 200g chicken breast, with 1 cup of oatmeal each time
Sometimes I have fruits instead of oatmeal with my afternoon snack.
Since I am cutting, I'm going to eat as little carbs as I can, and lunch will be back to one portion. I will half all of these portions, and cut out the oatmeals. Hope it suffices. The goal is to maintain a decent protein intake, while cutting down overall calorie intake.
I'm not counting down to specific macros as it's pretty hard to quantify canteen food and mom's cooked food. I may also pack my own food so I can eat more healthily.
Next such log will be when I hit 67kg. Hope my tummy is smaller by then, and I don't lose much muscle mass!
