I've decided to cease posting my weight since I don't anticipate for it to fluctuate or lower. This was, and still primarily is, a body recomposition blog and not a blog about losing weight. Without further ado:

Notes:
This is just what I had today; things may change slightly from day to day. Two important principles to observe in dieting are the old adages "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" & "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." There is surprising truth to good health in these two quotes. You'll notice how both my carbohydrate intake and overall caloric intake start out very high and taper off throughout the day. Though I've touched on this subject before, I think it's worth reiterating.
The majority of calories, especially carbohydrates, consumed in the morning are readily converted to energy for the body to be used throughout the day. Conversely, carbs that are eaten later in the day such as afternoon and evening are more likely to be stored as fat.
In addition to this, eating a large breakfast with a good amount of protein keeps you full longer and causes you to eat less total throughout the day. Since the majority of the issue with dieting is the constant battle with hunger, this is a really important point to observe.
If you're looking to lose weight and stay lean & healthy, a big breakfast w/protein within an hour of when you wake up in the morning is key! But hey, you don't have to take my word for it:
Cheers!
