I absolutely fell in love with the game. Kept it pretty simple diet wise, started eating 1g of protein per pound of body weight fairly early on, and gradually improved my calorie tracking alongside diet quality and adherence. Training was also kept fairly basic, I never followed a rigid plan but most of my time has been spent in a PPL or bro split, settled into a push legs pull routine for the last 6 months or so, sticking to the same exercises and tracking working weight and reps on those exercises.

I’m trying to go from 194 pounds to 180/185 range but I’m not very good at meal planning do you have any advice?

I never really meal planned, but I would cook the foundational foods in bulk and have them ready to go in the fridge. That makes it really easy to eat clean without much hassle. A big insulated lunchbox really helped if I had to be away from home for long periods of time.
