I use the 21 day fix system to measure my foods. It helps me save time and I know I won't be over eating. Everyone in my support group starts with this program. Specially those that really struggle with nutrition.
I notice that cottage cheese gives me an extra boost before my workouts so I started incorporating it more in my diet lately. Right now my goal is to reduce body fat and continue building muscles.
This journey can be difficult at times that's why I surround myself with like minded people to continue pushing forward. Don't give up, keep pushing!!
