This should last me through Friday. Average daily caloric goal 1,100 - 1,400. Shouldn't actually exceed 1,200. Diet is high in proteins and positive carbs for my body to absorb. Metabolism should increase. Soda totally cut from diet, as well as chocolates, ice cream, pie, pizza, and everything else I like eating. But I'll learn to like greens, fruits n' veggies, and all this other stuff. I want to get in shape, so I can learn to like myself again. Excuses? Done. Time for my shit? None.

I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. But I'm doing it. I might got this. I don't know if I don't not got this, but the probability that I'm going to die of starvation is 0%, so I'm pretty sure this is what I got, and it ain't what I don't got.

I have to balance these meals out carefully or I'll run out of food early.

Feel free to tell me if anything here is dumb. I'm dumb and don't know what I'm doing. I followed some tips I read on a few different websites about what was good for my goals but when I actually got to the store my brain was a jumble of information and I started walking into walls and shit. It was bad.

Daily exercise: 2 miles walking, 1 hour swimming. (I walked to the pool, swam for an hour and walked back)

4 2-packs hard-boiled eggs

Why not just get a single 12 count of eggs and boil them yourself lol? Save you a ton of money.

I... um... don't know how to... boil an egg?

All of my cooking skills are on a grill.

I was of the upper class of neckbeard. Occasionally, blood would slip into my MTN DEWstream, and my intake of mass quantities of cheetos to power my gamer fingers would be interrupted as I went into a paradiabetic fit.

Boiling an egg? Bah. I had no time for such matters. Not when... the raid was on.

And the raid was always on.

But now my battle is done. It was not won, I am simply done fighting it. Now my heart aches to gain back the life I nearly threw away. I want to become... human... again.

I shall take your advice, wise alien who is currently illegally residing somewhere. I shall learn to boil the egg myself, for I can gain more eggs, and save money. You are a wise extra-terrestrial illegal resident.

hard boiled egg's take about 12 mins in boiling water (leave it be in the pot within boiling water) though they won't stay good for more than a day at best after cooking it.

then shock in cold water, peel when it's good and ready. hard boiled egg no problem.

Easy way, I swear.

Put eggs in the bottom of a pot, make sure the pot has a lid. Cover in cold water about 1-2 inches. Turn the burner on high, add a pinch of salt and as soon as the water starts to boil, turn the burner off. Cover the pot with the lid and leave it on the still hot burner. Leave the pot there for 10-12 minutes and then drain the water. Rinse with cold water to reduce the heat so you can peel them.

Sounds easy enough. The time won't be an issue, I won't make 'em unless I plan to also eat 'em.

Sounds like the above, but with more instructions. Which is good because I'm the kind of guy that always needs that extra bit. I shall enjoy my very own hard-boiled eggs for the first time in this life!

Edit: Where are my manners? Fucking rude, Chicken Ass. *ahem*

Thank you, sirs, for the helpful information.
