I thought, "man, this guy is on to something. I doubt my wife will go for it, but still..."


Use free weights to gain muscle.
A lb of muscle is way more dense than a pound of fat, obviously.
You will see a difference on the scale, but it will take 6-9 months in my experience.

It's good to know as much as you can before you really start. You never know but you may only be taking in 1800 a day. If you were to jump all the way to 2900, you'll get burnt out the first week. Bump it 500 calories from that week's average, see the progress after about 2 weeks, then adjust from there.

I used to be your exact height and weight. I had to change my game up. Now, I look a lot better.

I don't use machines. Only free weights and body weight movements. And I figured it would take a long time to truly see results, but I'm looking for something sustainable, not a "quick fix", so I'm ok with that.

Not all calories/macros are created equally.

Lots of vegetables, whole wheat rice and whole wheat pasta. Try to avoid breads but will usually have a PB sandwich on whole wheat bread as a snack. And milk.

When did I say that. As far as weight loss is concerned, a calorie is a calorie. It's just a unit of measure

My bad - only listed carbs.

Lots of chicken, ground turkey, pork, avocados, and almonds/cashews.
