Whoa. I have bought some protein powder, and it's amazing the different it makes to one's macros!

Most days I will get 1750 - 2000 kcal, with about 80 - 95g protein. Today, I have taken protein powder (chocolate flavour with some soya milk -> healthy choco milk) and it has put me at 154g protein with 1,737 kcal - 35% of my day's kcal being from protein. That's quite impressive!

This is the beginning of my trying to lose weight, and keep muscle or maybe even gain a bit whilst I'm here. Gym twice a week, swimming filling out some of the rest of those days, and ... trying to balance that with study, and the allotment, and music, and being nights out, and being social, and ...

I will find a way eventually. I don't want to stress myself out like with last year.
