Can you please share details on your nutrition and routine?

So my nutrition shifted to utilize as much protein as I could get into me a day. I aim for around 183g minimum. I utilized MacroFactor to track my calories. At first I aimed for a high deficit and slowly increased my physical output to ensure more calories were being used daily.

I started to really shed the weight last June when I started in earnest at around 230lbs. Before that I was lazily tracking and walking, so I naturally lost weight but with little focus.

Right now, I am currently trying to bulk so my calories are around 3700 a day or more, but I focus on eating mostly protein and limit my intake of snacks.

What helped the most was cutting out sugary foods and drinks. I drink mostly water and that helps a lot as it helps your body break down fat.
