THE IMPORTANCE OF CALORIE INTAKE FOR FAT/WEIGHT LOSS. This was meant to be a weekend video but as you can tell by my throat, it’s a little sore... NEXT UP IS HOW TO WORK OUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL CALORIE INTAKE. Any queries, message me. #fitness #calories

70% nutrition 30% gym. This weekend I will be uploading a video about the importance of the calories you eat for fat loss. Over the next few weeks as Christmas approaches I will let you in on some tips to avoid festive fatness and all things fat/weight loss, including resistance training too... stay tuned. Have a good weekend! #fitness #nutrition

Nobody’s perfect but you need to be honest with yourself. After a night out I’ve eaten comfort food today but will still make sure I am tracking it. It’s vital to know how many calories you’re eating to achieve your goals, my calorie need is low today because I’ve done nothing but I’m still in a deficit so therefore losing weight.. will be back on it tomorrow but every once in a while you fall to them cravings. We are all human 🍗 MODERATION IS KEY! don’t starve yourself of the good stuff.

Now this is shocking to see but the reality if you’re in a calorie surplus and not eating the right balance of macronutrients. I’ve gained 10 pounds in just over 30 days and gone from being what could be deemed as ‘athletes’ body fat percentage to just an ‘average’ body fat percentage. I’m not saying everyone eats bad food every day but I trained pretty much everyday during this challenge, sometimes twice, and I’ve still got worse. Nutrition is absolutely essential to achieving your goal and that’s what people need to understand! Going to talk more about diet and nutrition over the next few weeks, especially the most important thing involving weight and fat loss - CALORIE DEFICIT. My holiday is just over a month away so it’s time to get all this fat I’ve put on gone.... see you soon!

FINAL DAY. I decided to pick my 3 favourite courses and enjoy the last supper. Mac and cheese balls for starter, 12oz sirloin for main and the salted chocolate tart for dessert. It’s all over now and I’ve completed it, no food left and I absolutely loved it. Only bonus is I have more free time and I can start getting in better shape again! Will update this week with body fat percentage changes, weights etc. Gutted it’s over but thank you @solita_restaurants I hope we can team up again soon! #FOODISLIFE

Another picture today. Day 29 so only 1 more day now. I was still full from the 675g steak the night before so had to ease off a bit here. I had my favourite starter mac and cheese balls, marinated chicken breast for main and salted chocolate tart for dessert. People are surprised I’m not sick of the food but I love it @solita_restaurants! Great staff and food at the Preston site I’ve been going to. Have a great Sunday everyone. #FOODISLIFE

No video for yesterday cos the lighting was awful. Lasagne bites to start, 24oz steak for main and deep fried cookie dough for dessert. Took some time but day 28 complete ✅ have a good weekend. #FOODISLIFE @solita_restaurants

ONCE IN A LIFETIME. Yes that’s the burger I had and it was immense, just to note I ate this in 9 minutes. It has pulled pork, buttermilk chicken, bacon, burgers, cheese the lot in. Starters I had the mac and cheese balls and for dessert I went back to my trusty salted chocolate tart. My appetite has really grown now and my body is gonna miss this when it’s gone. Weighing in at 12 stone 2, so put on 9 pounds since day 1. Day 27 completed... back tomorrow @solita_restaurants #FOODISLIFE

Back in the BMW for some pre match tunes. Took it easy tonight in preparation for the big one tomorrow... started with the cheesy wrapped bacon dough balls, main I went for the smokehouse burger and finished with the baileys cheesecake (was half way through before videoing). As I said tomorrow is a big one so see you then. #FOODISLIFE @solita_restaurants

Ok, so being the guy that I am I had a clear out on my phone and deleted my food footage from yesterday... promise I finished it though! Garlic ciabatta with mozzarella to start, sea bass fillets and fries for main and deep fried cookie dough for dessert. Day 25 done, 5 days for go. @solita_restaurants #FOODISLIFE

So we are back in the worlds worst place for lighting in the restaurant but hey ho we live and learn... butter buffalo wings to start, bacon double cheese and pizza fries for main and baileys cheesecake for dessert. This is day 24. My body is gonna miss this so much but also happy to start eating clean again. @solita_restaurants. Back tomorrow #FOODISLIFE

Ok so this is yesterday's video. After a works do I had to then smash this. Not the easiest. Mac and cheese balls again to start, smokehouse burger with pizza fries for main and deep fried cookie dough for dessert. 7 days to go and it's all over... back tomorrow for day 24. #FOODISLIFE

This is saturday's video. Deep fried mac and cheese balls to start, rib eye for main where I left a bit of fat, salted chocolate tart for dessert. This is the 22nd day and no shocks that I still love this. #FOODISLIFE

Day 21 here, still worried about the end cos I am loving the food so much. Started off with the bacon wrapped cheesy dough balls, went for the 12oz sirloin for main and the new baileys cheesecake for dessert which was amazing. I'm feeling energetic and stronger in the gym due to all the food but I think my insides hate me... back tomorrow. #FOODISLIFE

Didn't post this one yesterday, another one will come later as well. The lighting for this one wasn't great but the food is still there to see... this is day 20 by the way. Currently weighing in at 12 stone exactly whereas I was 11.5 stone before this. Deep fried mac and cheese balls to start, little Italy burger with pizza fries (amazing) for main and deep fried cookie dough dessert. New desert coming in the next vid! Have a great weekend. #FOODISLIFE

So yeah I'm alone for this one again... ah well I'm still loving the free food 👀 butter buffalo wings to start, steak and king prawn skewers for main and then the favourite deep fried cookie dough for dessert. Still only put on half a stone but actually feeling fitter at the minute. As this challenge is drawing an end I'm worried about missing it, I love @solita_restaurants so much... back tomorrow. #FOODISLIFE

It's late but well worth the wait. Today I had bacon wrapped cheesy dough balls, then a 21 inch hot dog that had chilli, coleslaw, bacon, sour cream, jalapeños the lot covered on it too and the deep fried cookie dough for dessert. I hope you're now looking and realising what an appetite I have and how well I'm doing not to get so big... anyway back tomorrow. #FOODISLIFE
