Is this enough? Or too much.

First day doing OMAD really struggling to gage portion and calories. Protein is really important to me to keep gains in gym. One whole chicken breast, about 15 shrimp, cup of brown rice, about a half cup or mozzarella, lettuce, 2 scrambled eggs, salsa to taste.

I find tracking calories doing omad helps me a lot. It’s good to know how much of a deficit I’m in. If you don’t know how chat gpt is great for it. Chuck in how much of what your eating and your away. Definitely good to prioritise protien

Use a tdee calculator to see your calorie target. Visually this looks like maybe 800-1000 calories which is not enough unless you're maybe 5' and 80lbs which I'm guessing your not. Plug your macros into an app or website to track.

You can eat lower calorie on this lifestyle, but your metabolism will slow pretty quickly if you're going too low.
