Going to start this soon.

Will go out and buy:
>scale
>measurment cups/spoons
>tupperware and shit

Will be using my fitness pal calorie counter. Is this a good app?

Any tips or advice regarding counting my calories and shit?

Would do anything for an Arab gf lads

Don't start soon, start now. The biggest thing with counting calories is making it a habit. After 2+ weeks it'll become natural. Eventually you'll develop new eating habits and the weight will come/go on its own. The biggest thing is starting it with consistency.

Also, don't lie to yourself with calories, you're only gonna fuck yourself over further

just use a dedicated calculator on your phone

MFP makes you pay to manaually add calories
>>
I do my fitness pal, food scale, etc. Very nice consistent progress
>>
>>36758311
This. I don't do it anymore but when I did it for a couple weeks I would be able to guesstimate about how many calories I was eating without entering it. It's also good for learning portion control. Like the guy said, it makes good eating habits.
>>
>>36758426

>9 cans

C'MON
>>
So is it better to prepare meals for work/school day before or can I make them all at once?

I see a lot of people doing weeks worth of food, doesn't it dry out and shit?
>>
>>36758489

sundays are usually a good day

It really depends on what you're doing. Are you cutting? Trying to stay at maintenance? Bulking?
>>
>>36758253
Just weigh everything remember to zero out the bowl or w/e you put it in and record and zero out everything you add to your bowl/plate

I just keep track of my calories/protein and whatnot on my phone's note app.

Today as example.
>>
>>36758253
My retarded tips that work for me, if your cutting
>count with a notepad and pen or in head, doesn't really matter
>start day with 30g oats, 30g protein powder mixed
>second meal is 4 boiled eggs
>It's now 4pm and I have 7000kj to go, it's pretty neat.
>>
I have been doing what you are about to do and have achieved my goals. Go for it

>>36758253

If you're finding it tiresome, make it easy on yourself and eat the same things often.
>>
What do you make when meal prepping?

How does this sound :
>some sort of rice or potatoes
>frozen or fresh veggies
>chicken or beef or tuna
>>
MFP is a great app OP

here's what I've been doing for meal prepping

breakfast
>oats, chia seeds, almonds, cinnamon, raisins, protein powder, soaked overnight in Greek yogurt and milk
lunch
>baked chicken or salmon
>mashed sweet potatoes
>steamed broccoli and green beans
I can buy it all in bulk and get a month's worth at a time so price is fine, plus it gives me some flexibility with dinner (end up having 500-700 kcal depending on how much cardio I do that day)

the key is to work your way into it patiently. work on developing one good habit at a time. if you try to go balls to the wall right off the bat you'll get overwhelmed, get discouraged, and fail. so take it slow, do your research, and don't be a retard

Spreadsheet is easier, literally set up the spreadsheet so that when you type in the grams for said standard food (milk, bread, chicken etc.) It automatically calculates macros and calories and then you add in anything which isn't standard e.g. chocolate bar or what not. Works really well and is quite easy to stick to. Especially if you eat somewhat the same things each day.
>>
>>36759368
Standard bro diet, nothing wrong with that.

Been adding pork tenderloin to my diet lately, has similar macros to chicken breast and where I am so much cheaper.

I grew up around a lot of arabs and indians, and it's secretly a fetish of mine.
Unfortunately the only one I know at the moment is my mate's sister, and at the wrong angle she looks like him in drag, so that's a no-go.
