Hey Guys, bit to say here so first things first here's the first days photos for the meals.
Brekky: Changed up a few things here, my local grocer didn't have turkey mince so subbed it out for chicken mince. Also they didn't have any egg whites left, so I opted for a low cal wrap instead. Ended up having 2x of these as the wrap was about the same size of my hand (probably why it was low cal...) I also added spinach in
This ended up being: 649 Cal | 15.4g Carbs | 22.9g Fat | 87.9g Protein

I will probably opt for 1 wrap for my next brekky as the taste wasn't worth the cals.
Snack: High Protein Bar Low Carb Salted Caramel (BSC)
202 Cal | 10.9g Carbs | 5.3g Fat | 18g Protein

Was average...
Lunch: As described in my proposed plan, only difference here is I added 50g of cherry tomato's
759 Cal | 103.2g Carbs | 17.7g Fat | 39.8g Protein

I could probably half the amount of rice as it's quite carb heavy, definitely fills me up for a while but I'd probably rather substitute half the rice for a green juice of some kind to have as a snack.
Dinner: Pretty much as described in my proposed plan

I think I'll look at adding some broccoli and mushrooms to this one to boost the veges and volume moving forward. Photo doesn't do it justice how good this was though with the right seasonings.
I also didn't have the option to fit in my Protein shake as planned, I think for the time being cutting out the low cal wraps and reducing the rice I will be able to fit this in, however I did still hit pretty close to my macros with this without the help of the shake so maybe I'll stick to real food.
Total: 1906 Cal | 195g Protein | 137 Carbs | 51g Fat

Important Please Read
Now for some truth my ego made me withheld. Getting serious about this and taking the photos etc, has made me really look at what I've done. I didn't realise how quickly time had passed but I've probably not consistently trained in around 2 months. I definitely should have mentioned this as well as providing more accurate pictures of how my body is currently, I guess it's an Ego Thing/Accountability that stopped me. After reading through peoples replies here I've realised how supportive this community really is, but how I also have to cut the shit and show up if I want the help. I can't just type help me on here if I'm not willing to help myself and be honest about things, I'm only cheating myself and wasting everyone's time.
Here are photos taken this morning, I'm loading my creatine again today as I haven't taken that for about 2 months, I will also weigh myself properly and get some actual measurements for the weights I'm currently lifting. The silver lining is starting off-peak just means I have more room to grow, so hopefully this log will become an entertaining ride for us all.
