Just my thought. -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.

Your body will shut down and go into starvation mode (meaning it thinks it starving and will hold onto fat) if you dont eat enough. -------------- My Catahoula did it. I saw a book titled "Sex for Dummies" and wondered why anyone would teach dumb people how to reproduce?

I'm 5'11" and what is in your post is about a 1000 cals lower than I get a day. -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.

My protein is 159g I have about 155lbs lean body mass. I definitely dont mind adding more calories just not sure where they should come from. Any ideas would be appreciated. My diet has been very effective so far but has recently hit a plateau. I am trying to cut some late night carbs to give it a little boost. I figure I should have around 2100 calories a day to be 500 below my bmr. My weight is 187 lbs. Should I add some fruit or maybe another scoop of whey to my late night shake. Also, is it alright to mix whey powder with milk for a before bed meal? Thanks.

Maybe with meal 4. My protien intake is about one gram per pound. I'm 5'11" and roughly 195lbs. I get about 200g a day.

Those are usually the least convenient unless you get carried away with protein shakes (i dont guess 3 a day would be carried away though) or love canned tuna. Any convenient protein ideas that are not cottage cheese. (that stuff gets old)
yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2007/05/14, 05:53 PM Well, I love tuna and cottage cheese, so I can't think of any right now. :) Here is a start: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-131850.html -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.
asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2007/05/15, 07:44 AM I agree with timday - you need more protein and more veggies. You can't cut on a diet without having to do some work, and unless you are very lean an out of control/uncounted Sunday will probably undo your week of dieting. Have a look at BB1fit's post - dieting made simple. It works on a 3 day low carb, with a refeed on the third day. If it isn't detailed enough for you, check out the cut diet (do a google on it). same thing - lots of protein, lots of veggies and good fats, then a refeed on the last meal of the third day.
