Adam · 2026-07-28Very organised with the meal plans up as well

C.M. 1 · 2026-08-02Great stuff. I thought I had done quite bad so that’s good lol. Yea the food I am tending to navigate back to what I’m used to. With the exception of being really aware I need a lot more protein. I will send a pic of my go to foods that I would find really easy to do. These are the foods I could just live on.
