Starting out at 230 pounds, quesadilla_boy was able to lose 90 pounds and get down to 140 pounds. Since then, he has put on muscle and now weighs 170 pounds. His journey has been a combination of diet and exercise.

The Diet

Quesadilla_boy starts his day with a protein shake and then goes to work out. For lunch, he eats something like eggs, tuna, or chicken, along with a cup of cottage cheese. Dinner varies, but since he works at a steakhouse, he often has beef. His calorie intake is not meticulously tracked, but he still maintains a healthy diet.

The Exercise Routine

Quesadilla_boy's exercise routine consists of legs, push, and pull workouts. His leg days include squats, leg press, hammy curls, and calve raises, among others. Push days include barbell bench, dumbbell shoulder press, machine shoulder press, and cable flys. On pull days, he does deadlifts, spider curls, and machine row, among others.

Conclusion

Quesadilla_boy's inspiring weight loss and muscle gain journey is proof that consistency and hard work pays off. His diet and exercise routine can be a good starting point for anyone who wants to lose weight and build muscle. However, it is important to tailor diet and exercise to individual needs and preferences. With a little patience and a lot of hard work, anyone can achieve their fitness goals.
