I work at a restaurant and as a delivery driver, so I'm always on the go, I walk quite a bit for work and I also hit the gym.

Workout:
1hr cardio (treadmill or bike) 7 days a week
30-45 min weight training 6 days a week

I eat about 1800 cals a day, average, usually around 1300

Preworout:
30g Whey Protein Isolate
1/2 cup Raw Oats

Post workout
30g Whey Protein Isolate
1/2 cup Raw Oats
1 Banana

Lunch
6-8 oz Chicken breast
Green peppers, Onions, Jalapeños
1 Slice of bacon

Snack
Apple
2 TBS Peanut Butter

Dinner
8 oz steak and onions
4 yellow corn tortillas

About every other day I do have some pizza 2 slices, or a couple of sodas

Yes, I know the pizza and soda are not diet, but after a couple of weeks following this diet ( I made it, so it might be wrong) I notice no real results, except better skin... Haha

I came up with the calorie count of 1750 using an app, a different app gave me almost 3400 cals a day

Any ideas why I wouldn't see results?

Well the pizza and soda will deff destroy your results lol honestly I've seen 1 day of bad eating ruin a good 4-5 days of clean diet...you need to keep a strict clean diet for at least 2 weeks to clean up all that crappy toxic bloat out of your system from the refined sugar and processed garage...after that you will see results...your cals are also way to low for your weight...I could see a lot of muscle loss resulted this way...protein shakes are great and all but not always for meal replacement...stick with good carbs (plain oats, sweet potato, brown rice)...protein (chicken, lean steak lean ground beef and fish) and good fats (almonds, natty PB)...on workout days get at least 2400 cals in and slowly drop them and on burn days were you may have to be off try dropping the carbs that day and lowering the cals a bit but be sure to have a refeed day once a week with good carbs...keep up the lifting and cardio with a clean diet (no pizza or soda) and boom you will see results..not over night but over time...ask yourself do you want to eat delicious or look delicious?

Thanks for the reply, man.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you came up with the 2400 cals?
