My top tips for new dad lyfe (having recently been there/still there/ do you ever rly leave?!)
Stop drinking calories. I pretty much stopped drinking, you sleep better and it's easy calories to give up. 0% beers are pretty good and like 30cals.
Don't kill yourself trying to get more exercise in. You'll be more tired/frenzied, your partner will potentially be left with the little one more and as long as you're doing consistent exercise then your bmr shouldn't be a problem.
Diet will be your friend here and consistently being in a calorie deficit.
I've found having a few go to meals which taste good but are really simple helps and once you know the calories of them its easy.
Volume food is good - I've mentioned Skyr above but leafy greens and veg are the same. Fill your plate up with these.
Chicken breast or turkey is obvs low in cals but I find red meat can help with satiaty so I tend to eat a mix of the two + plenty of veggie days.
^reposting the above from the other thread as think it’s probably still useful for some (including myself!)
