Trying to get back to OMAD again. Stress eating and boredom are getting to me.

I'm thinking about going back to OMAD for calorie restriction, just needing to be good about macros in that one meal.

I need to do the same. Life has been nuts the last few months and the stress has added up.
OMAD is what really helped me when I lost my first 20-25 pounds. I started eating twice a day again once I was lifting more. Now I'm at a point where I think I might go back to one so I can cut another 10-12 pounds and get to my 50 pound loss goal.

For the past month and half. I have gone about 14 -16 hour fast every day. I will eat (3 cans in water) tuna fish salad with crackers. Then eat a some what decent meal around 6pm. If it's me I will eat about 12 ounce steak. If I have dad with me, it's not as healthy.
I am not loosing any weight. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. Slowly starting back hitting the gym.
You guys have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Count calories for a week, count everything, weigh if you dont have good understanding. Report back
Or just explain what your eating in detail

Tuna and steak wont make you fat bit a box of crackers every day wont help.
Age, weight, how active? How much did you eat daily before this?

1. Read The Best Fat Loss Article on the Motherfuckin’ Internet
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: US Navy Calculator - Body Fat Calculator – BizCalcs.com
3. Calculate your TDEE: SailRabbit: BMR, TDEE and BMI Calculator
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: l o s e r t o w n
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros) or LoseIt (great for both).

True, working on slowly removing them.
47, 295 @ 6'4 , very active, walk a shit ton working on forklifts and walkie stackers.
Then doing odd and stuff around my house or dad's. Mostly get about 5-6 hours of good sleep a night on average.
245-250 is a good weight for me.
3 meals a day. Then started cutting the gas station breakfast sandwich out. Then started taking my lunch. I currently do not know my current average calorie intake.
There are times I feel lighter. i have cut out soft drinks, drink water and lipton diet green tea. I'm starting to wonder if that may be part of the problem.
I will check that stuff out, Thanks!

I lost about 40 lbs 2023, then kinda hit recomp. I have about 40 more lbs to lose for weight goal, so mixing it up a little. I'm not chasing the number, but it puts me to a great starting point for endurance (and easy on my knees) and helping with lifts and runs/rucks

Well that sounds terrible.
Something is fucked up in my intestine, black rectangle says that it might be diverticulitis. So instead of going to a doctor and wasting 100s of dollars, internet says to only have clear liquids for three days then start broths then eazy to digest foods.Well that sounds terrible.
I would rather not eat for three days than go to the doctor

Don’t fuck around too long. If it continues just go get the scope, it’s not that badSomething is fucked up in my intestine, black rectangle says that it might be diverticulitis.

My experience is going to the doctor has never made anything better. They have been totally worthless in my experience.

If these damn grocery prices keep going up I'm gonna be doing some less voluntary fasting.

Part of the reason i fast till lunch alot of times, and sometimes till dinner....If these damn grocery prices keep going up I'm gonna be doing some less voluntary fasting.
Are you starving and only able to think about food? My last post in here. I did a 48 hour. Then ate only protein on one day. Then a second 48 hour fast again after that one day. It fixed whatever the problem was.
Not really. I was kind of hungry yesterday at lunch and yesterday before bed at 9:30 pm.
