If I woke up 20 pounds overweight and wanted to lose it all by the end of this year, this is EXACTLY what I'd do:
1. Eliminate alcohol. When you drink, your body prioritizes burning it first. Trying to burn fat while drinking alcohol is playing the game on hard mode.
2. Multiply your bodyweight by 12. That will be your daily calorie intake.
3. Multiply your bodyweight by .8. That will be the daily grams of protein you need to eat to maintain/build muscle while burning fat.
4. To keep it easy, focus on hitting your calories and protein.
5. Set the right meal schedule:
- Last meal 3 to 5 hours before bed
- First meal 1-2 hours upon waking
- Second meal between them
6. Eat a breakfast containing 40g of protein to regulate hunger and appetite at night while building muscle.
