How many calories do you eat?

About 1500 i think

So you have about 34-35 weeks to lose 11.5kg (which is... 25.3 pounds). That would be about one third of a kg per week (or three quarters of a pound), which is pretty obtainable!

You'd only have to create a calorie deficit of about 372 per day to achieve that rate of loss.
Honestly, it's pretty likely you already burn quite a bit more than 1872 calories per day anyway, so you're probably already creating a deficit greater than what you need to achieve your goal in time (you could try a BMR calculator online to check how much you burn each day, if you don't know now).

How do you feel eating what you do now? Are your energy levels/hunger okay?

Hi man its 16 weeks actually sorry to correct you there does that change your opinion ?

Thank you

For the advice by the way :D

LOL I just came back today when I realized how waaaaay off I was!!! :dizzy: Not even really sure how I managed that, I literally have a calender right in front of me. WELP. :D

That would still put you at a needing a deficit of 744 calories per day, which is totally doable with exercise. (And this time I double checked, lol.) The recommended maximum rate of loss per week is slightly less than 1 kg, which requires a 1000 calorie deficit per day.

If you eat 1500ish calories per day already, I would guess you're pretty close to a 1000 calorie per day deficit. That's going to leave you some time to adjust things before your deadline, just in case.

Honestly, it looks like you're good to go.

Thanks for the reply guys what would you reccomend for breakfast ?

Watching the amount of carbs you eat seems to me to be the way to go. So I agree with Jez...cut the grains. Stick with veggies and protein and consider the carb count on your fruit. Berries are better than say bananas... For breakfast, how about an egg white omelet? You can add mushrooms, spinach, onions, and it would be pretty filling but amazingly healthy. I personally enjoy a couple fried eggs for breakfast. Sometimes I will fix an almond meal muffin, or almond meal pancakes.

Anymore resommendations for breakfast?

Is the fight in a 71kg division, or is this the weight you want to cut to fight weight from?
Are you going to cut weight?
Have you fought in this division before? how did you make weight.

The first things that I thought of. And also that your trainer is a good person to ask.
If general, it looks like you haven't go much protein. There's a calorie deficit, which is needed. But if it was me I'd rather use the calories for better food instead of wasting them on orange juice.

5l of water seems an awful lot try half. You can die from too much water especially if drinking too much when exercising. I wouldnt use weetabix....porridge would be better for you. I would also cut out snacks if you can. Snacking is a modern invention. Have your fruit right after a meal. Good luck.
