I’m not sure if anyone is reading this, but it’s definitely helping me stay on track and be more efficient!

Here are my latest check-in pictures. I’ve seen a slight decrease in weight, now at 92.7 kg, but I’m really happy with the improvements I can see. This week’s check-in pics are attached. The only change to my diet from last week is an increase in protein; I’ve switched my protein sources from 180g raw weight to cooked weight. I’ve also included a side-by-side comparison of my back from three weeks ago, and I’m thrilled with the progress!

I thought about making a post similar to keep me on track, but I'm doing it privately. I'm not going on blasts, just cruises, so my changes aren't impressive to others here lol.

Even though the change in weight is minor, any idea why it went down?

What's the reason from switching from raw to cooked measurements? My understanding is that when cooked the protein doesn't change, it's the fat and water that gets burned away, right?

Hey Bro,

Thanks for your reply. I highly recommend starting a log, regardless of where you are in your journey; the accountability aspect is invaluable.

According to my coach, cooked weight increase the amount of protein. I'm the type of person who follows his guidance to the letter—I need structure!

ChaT GBT Answer!

Specifically, 100 grams of raw chicken breast provides approximately 22–23 grams of protein.

After cooking, the same weight of chicken breast offers about 31–32 grams of protein per 100 grams.
 
Here are my latest check-in pictures. My weight has dropped to 91.7 kg—a bit of a tough one to take, but after reflecting on the past week, it’s clear it was an extremely active one. Between a family wedding in the intense heat and a camping trip with my kids, my activity levels were through the roof.

This week’s check-in photos are attached.

A small diet adjustment: training day carbs have been increased to 350g cooked weight for the rice meals.

Not my best check-in, and I’ll admit it took a mental toll, but this is all part of the process. Five weeks in—onward to the next year of progress!

Here are my latest check-in pictures!

My weight has increased from 91.7 kg to 94.2 kg—I’m definitely feeling and looking a bit fuller.

Strength continues to improve across all my top sets.

There has been some diet adjustments: on training days, my rice portions are now 380g cooked weight, and added intra-workout carbs with four scoops of Powerade powder.

You keep mentioning your carbs go up, don't you increase your protein as well? If so, what ratio of your weight do you use? "X"g/kg

Hey mate,

I have a coach who adjusts my diet, and so far, if I remember correctly, my carbs have been increased three times and my protein once.
