Good Morning
I am hoping for friendly and helpful responses.
I started workout routine at the beginning of this year, so about 8 months now. 3-4 days of cardio and 4-5 strength training days a week. I started off around 111-113 and I'm now at 118-120. Petite 5'3
I have been tracking meals and have not increased calories. I also cut out alcohol awhile back.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi Lauren, good to talk to you.
What sort of results are you trying to achieve?
What times do you eat at and what foods do you eat at those times?

Hi, nice to meet you as well. I'm looking to tone. Not sure I necessarily want to lose any weight or need to.Boss Man wrote:Hi Lauren, good to talk to you.

I'll start by saying I don't claim to know much about nutrition. I'm bad about eating more during the day. I usually start with a piece of whole wheat bread with peanut butter for breakfast. Fruit smoothie for lunch and dinner (on most nights) is grilled chicken or ground turkey and veggies.
Thanks again for your help!!

I would increase what you're eating for breakfast by adding things in like eggs, low fat cheese and also chicken, beef, turkey, ham and pork from a packet.
Here are some snack options for you to consider in the mid morning, mid afternoon and mid evening like microwave soups, baked beans and rice dishes, oat granola's, ham, turkey, beef, pork and chicken from a packet, low fat cheese, low sugar yoghurt, flax seeds, nuts, peanuts, fruits including tomatoes and cucumber, vegetables including pineapple, raw carrot and celery sticks, pre-boiled eggs, pre-cooked chicken breast and low fat yoghurt, nuts and peanuts, bread, sandwiches.
