I can't imagine "trying" to reach 172 at 6'2 lol it's taking 45 minutes of fucking intense cardio every....single....day to stay under 225 at 6'2.

Diet is a more significant factor in weight management than exercise.
You’re likely consuming slightly more calories than you should be if you are struggling to keep off the lbs.

Probably. I fucking hate how calorie-dense most food is.

How? A meal of chicken and vegetables is like 400kcal, how the heck am I going to reach 3000kcal a day. If I eat too many vegetables I get full and I can't eat all my calories. So I have to make the decision to eat healthy or to eat less healthy but 3000kcal
Edit: probably we also have different metabolisms and I burn more calories

Most foods are the opposite of calorie dense. It’s decision making.

Definitely most food. I'm not talking about junk food just food in general.

What is food in general for you?
TotallynottheCCP t1_iwhq4mc wrote
Some of the most common stuff I eat regularly:
- Tater tots
- Hash browns
- Eggs
- Cottage Cheese
- Pasta (occasionally with some hamburger)
- Skim milk
- Cheese
- Salads (usually with tuna)
- Rice (various types)
- Mashed Potatoes
- Stir fry
- Cereal
- Grilled cheese sandwiches (though not so much anymore considering how absurdly expensive deli meat is)

i would try weight training and gaining muscle mass. Increased muscle mass increases the required calories even while not working out.
Also, please get a rest day in every now and then and your performance will propably go up even though you trained less :)
