working out hard 3 days a week. loss around 1kg so far.. 79kg. It's been a month now.

I had the same issue as you are experiencing now, until I really started counting my calories, cut down on my carbs and increase my protein. Totally no deep fried/fried oily food. I also increased my exercise frequency from 3 times to 5/6 times per week and Walaa.......5kgs shed. If you are determined, you will achieve it.

Steamed chicken breast meat. Undelightfully, not the best tasting food but it works and gives the protein required. Another is also egg whites.

Yes, considered almost every single day for the past 2 weeks. Up to a point I just chew it without even thinking what I am having in my mouth because of it's non existence taste.

No, I don't work a desk job but I have a portable mini steamer which I leave inside the pantry.

your protein intake is on the high side. you can cut it down to 160g and fill up the remaining calories with carbs. dont worry, as long as you are eating at a deficit calorie + exercise, you will lose weight. 1kg per month sounds about right. this approach is more sustainable for long term.

I don't understand why only breast - and why can't you just roast the damned bird. A little salt and pepper won't kill you.

Also, EAT THE WHOLE EGG - it's not going to make you fat.

LOLz......you have a very good point there but unfortunately I do not have an oven in my pantry, so I just make do with my mini portable steamer.

Eating the entire egg is fine, just minus out the yolk due to cholesterol intake.

If you only have a steamer, shred the chicken and put it into a nice salad with some greens.

Then, make a nice vinaigrette - take 3 parts of olive oil to 1 part acid (vinegar, citrus anything), tsp of mustard to help emulsify the damned thing and a little salt and pepper and whisk till its emulsified.

Those eggs, just hard boil them mix everything together and you have a pretty tasty 'rojak' salad that would cost you RM20+ outside.

Theres nothing worse for a diet than food that tastes like crap.
