Keep us updated on the sleep quality.

Okay, excuse my ignorance, but what are some reasons people are taking XXX oil?

The liquid has no effect on the ratio. I use vodka because the alcohol acts as a preservative and the pills dissolve better than they would in something like water.

I’m with you, anything between 12-15% bf is lean. Below that, you’re getting into the shredded category.

For sure, I probably ate 1500 calls just at dinner. The smoothie is around 650-700 and lunch was probably in that ballpark. So you are probably right on.

Ugh! I didn’t realize I was eating that many calories!

The morning smoothie is actually delicious. I’ve been making my own kefir for almost four years. Today was a lifting day. My meals today were... The morning was the same. 12:00pm- I ate the shrimp and andouille sausage with rice leftovers. 3:30pm I ate a Perfect Bar. 6:30pm - pulled pork, Mac...

Thanks for all of your input! Very motivating.

So once I begin the cutting diet on March 1st, I will modify the morning smoothie by taking out one of the fruits and replacing it with cucumbers and substituting peanut butter powder for the peanut butter. I will also cut out all starchy carbs on off days and replace them with green veggies.

Thanks! I have difficulty determining the calories and macros in my meals. Here is what I ate yesterday (non lift day) 6:30am - cup of tea with a dash of milk 7:30am - smoothie with 2 cups whole milk kefir, generous handful of kale, 1/2 banana, 1/4 avocado, 1/3 cup blueberries, 1 scoop...

That’s great info! You are clearly more dedicated than I am. One question I have is how do you manage to get 150 grams of protein every day? If you’re inclined, I’d love to have an accounting of what you eat in a typical exercise day and day off day.

Interesting. My initial plan was to go low carb on days I don’t hit the gym and moderate carbs on days I exercise. I would also try to keep the carbs in the pre and post workout window. I will also need to up my protein intake a little. Based on the information you provided, I may fool around...

I just don’t have the discipline to count calories. I have a very good feeling for how much I need to eat to maintain my weight, so if I just cut back a little I’ll be in a calorie deficit. I weigh 168lbs now. At 14.5% bf, I figure I need to lose 6lbs to see my abs!

I have heard the same thing about long walks. Thanks for the input!
