Current stats: weight 186-187lb, 13%bf.. height 6'2...<--not a variable 
I decided to break up my cutting process into small, easily attainable goals. The goal for the next 2 weeks is to drop my b/f down to 12%. If I exceed that goal that's fine also. The idea is to be comfortable. I'm gonna up my carbs to about 150-180 a day, but I will have days where they dip down to 120 grams or so. I will consume most of my carbs during breakfast meal and somewhere during midday. I gotta eat carbs, because if I don't I just feel like I'm throwing pebbles into a well, I am that hungry. Oh well..1st entry tonite.
BMR: 2,000 calories
when moderately active: 3,100
when doing nothing all day going to the gym few times a week, 2,700
Dropping my calories to about 2,500 a day should do the trick with my current energy expanditure.

you counting the carbs in the atkin's bar?
Posted by: iMan323
22 grams
i abbreviate carbs (in grams)=c
protein in grams = p
Posted by: sara
I know you abbreviate the carbs --> c but what atkin's bar got 22 carbs?
Posted by: iMan323
atkins advantage something something crunchy mocha, i don't have any laying around. Why, is it not as low carb as you thought it would be?
Posted by: sara
you gotta subtract the fiber and the sugar alc.
Posted by: iMan323
I always go by total carb content. If i'm off then I consume less carbs then I think..which is a good thing.

I'm just gonna post the totals for today...
2600 calories, 170 grams of carbs, 140 grams of proteins..
supps, multivatimine, glutamine..
I'd like to note that I'm making an excellent progress. I'm looking much harder then two weeks ago, the tire around my waist is shrinking , abs are starting to show. What's most peculiar is that my protein intake is moderate at best and my carbs aren't that low...go figure 
Posted by: iMan323
Assuming that 3000 calories is my maintanance, I had a total caloric deficit of about 6,300 calories. That's roughly 2 pounds of (hopefully mostly) fat. Shit's looking good
