I thought it would be fun to share what I learned during my weight loss (and procrastinate during finals).
- Track calories for a week: I never realized how much I actually over-ate until I counted and read articles
- Track workouts with an app: Rewarding to see my consistency and progress
- Set sports-related goals: More substantial than aesthetics
Also, I was was very fortunate to live next to the gym and grocer and cook my own meals as a student so I had limited excuses.
Diet: Limit sugar, white carbs, alcohol. Small calorie deficit. Focused on food that kept me full (protein, fibre from fruits and vegetables, and non-processed). I ate slower and only ate when I'm actually hungry.
Meals were not planned but these were my targets: Breakfast/Lunch is usually greek yogurt, protein cereal, fruit or omelet with leafy greens and toast. Snacks: PB&J, apples, bananasDinner: Chicken, brown rice, steamed vegetables.

Workout: Phrak Greyskull: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/wiki/phraks-gslp
For full body lifts, stretching, warmups, and proper form are important to avoid injuries. I dropped weight whenever my form sucked. Don't skip squats and deadlifts.
For fun, I played a bit of basketball and went to some climbing gyms with friends.
Would not have made progress without both this subreddit and r/Fitness so I wanted to share. Thanks!
