My first thoughts are you need more protein in your diet. Do you have any protein powder? Add this to your milk or oats

haha i do have the slm musashi vanilla protein powder and i used to put it in my porridge but then i just decided to go without it, but if you reckon it'll make a differnce then yep il add it back in

You need protein in every meal so a handfull of almonds for m2 would be better, and same goes for m4.

how many almonds should I be eating? like roughly how many in a handful?cause its not good to have too many right?

I'd cut the dates out on m5 unless it's pre workout as they're LOADED with sugar

.

oh yea will def drop these then i prob only have like one in total when i eat it cause my dad chops it up into tiny bits and puts it in a container with the cashews.

Also are the cashews and peanuts you're eating salted or just roasted? Too much salt = water retention.'

nope they're just 'roasted' at home in the oven. well the peanuts are. and the cashews are just put in the microwave for a bit to cook them and i never have them with salt!

Watch out for the sugar free lollies, even just a few make my gut gurgle :oops:

hahaha! yea thats why i only had four cause i had a back experience with a packet of those extra sugar free lollie things. the watermelon flavour is delicious and I downed the whole packet in a couple of hours. and spent the rest of the day rushing to the bathroom every chance I could lol!

thanks SO much for your comments though! very helpful :nod:
