Tonight - baby asparagus, ground chicken from the farmers markt - which is grain fed, serious quality - I'll quote the farm, upon request. Some hot sauce added.
Not a culinary treat - but fuel for my diet.
How is that?
My goals are to lose appx. 11ish lbs. + define and tone up. I'm going to start w/ weights on Saturday.
This is how I succeed and what works for me - little 'baby-step' goals.
Please Advise on anything... Ty in advance!

You must get your protein up or you will simply lose too much muscle mass, if you are at a calorie deficient, you will indeed lose weight, however, your physic will look the same, just a smaller version of it; aka skinny fat.

There are many sources out there that quote different protein intake levels to cut, from what I have experienced, if you are cutting, your protein intake needs to be AT LEAST 125 g per day. Carbs are a main focus as well, keep the simple carbs down, and low complex carbs, this will help burn body fat.
Ideally, if done correctly, you only want to lose 1-2 lb a week, no more.
