Hey guys,
So i've been trying to get my diet right in the last couple of weeks........
I think I'm eating too much at the moment, i made this plan before i measured my TEE properly but I'm just after some feedback on the food that I'm eating rather than the total calories as i can just cut down portion sizes, etc. when i work out my exact requirements.
From my understanding, I need to calculate my TDEE (find maintenance) and then minus 10% to start cutting fat - is this correct??
Below is my stats and a pretty detailed example of what I'll eat in a day.
Current Stats:
