Set a goal, out work, be consistent and see what you can achieve. The biggest reason people fail to reach there goal, is they are impatient and not consistent, don’t let this be you.
Also a reminder, if you are trying to put on muscle, your focus should be increasing calories week after week that you do not gain weight and if you are trying to lose weight we may need to decrease calories. If you have hit a plateu email me, so I can help you.

If you have lost weight and that is your main goal, perfect. If you are looking to gain weight via adding size to your frame, let’s add in 100 calories to this plan. If you are at a sticking point and are looking to lose weight, be sure to DROP or reduce the calories by 100.

What should you add? Ideally, you would add in 25 grams of protein. Split it throughout all 5 meals, so it’s an additional 5 grams per meal. This allows you to keep your meals similar rather than feeling full and bloated after 1 meal.
This might be adding in a little more whey protein. Another ounce of chicken. Maybe some egg whites. However you prefer to do it, that is the best approach. I could drink whey protein all day everyday, so that would be my first choice.
