I haven't had much time to update on here. But anyway, I am excited to be back! 
I have a new goal for this year and have been on track with my diet program since Janurary 6'th.. I wasn't consistant with my training till last week.. that's why I'm here to stay consistant with my diet and training routine..
I know its working for me pretty well.. 5-6 Meals a day

Don't worry about the diet comments,, everyone here is just trying to help you out, although it can be a bit brutal sometimes. |
I am hoping next week the walking lunges will not be killers again
.. I also can barley sit down

Sounds like a plan. 10 more pounds to go, right? Sweet. When you start getting hungry but can't/shouldn't eat, do 20 push-ups as fast as you can and then drink a liter of water. |

When you set a goal you are much more likely to achieve it than not having a goal.. and the more specific your goal is the better .. Your goal might be a wedding, a reunion, certain dress size, etc.. you are much likely to stick to the the plan |

Okay, so you're abouy 22% bodyfat, making you a nice juicy category II dieter. Your protein, set at 1.25g/lb lean mass because you lift, puts you at a dietary intake of about 240g daily. Add another 200 or so tag-along calories from veggies and the minimum caloric intake for you will be around 1200 a day. You are allowed to go higher, okay? 1200 set up like this is the lowest you could run without undue risk to your lean mass.
You will take one free meal a week - if you feel you must - and one 5-hour refeed a week. I'd set up the carbup day to have 240g protein, 60g of fat and between 300 and 600g of carbohydrate, depending on your desire, need, and comfort. This puts your refeed calories between about 2650 and about 3800 calories for that day. Drink a whey shake and eat a couple of pieces of fruit, and an hour later, perform a tension workout* before the refeed, and remain moderately active during the carbup to enhance reglycogenation. Load creatine during this time, it will also assist in reglycogenation, as will shots of ordinary vinegar. I alternate between vinegar and creatine every hour when I do my refeeds, but I'm category I and my refeeds are about 36 hours long. You will train twice a week, full body, low rep - my preference is to train every third day, as follows: PSMF workout 1 Push press 3 x 5-8 Chins 3 x 5-8 Squats 3 x 5-8 PSMF workout 2 Bench 3 x 5-8 Deads 3 x 5-8 T-bars 3 x 5-8 Optional: Moderate-intensity cardio, 30-45 minutes 4-7 times a week as required for appetite suppression. Optional: Intervals, if performed; 45-60 second range with rest periods equal or double (45-120 seconds) and do 4-5 repeats a maximum of twice per week. Optional: consume 5g glucose 10 minutes pre-workout, plus 15-30g glucose and 15g whey protein sipped during/after the workout to protect LBM. Supplements: 1g potassium 1g calcium 500mg magnesium 10g fish oil Multi 1g vitamin C For carbups: creatine (I load 20g during a carbup) (Note: salt your food normally) This jive with your interpretation? My tension workout:* Tension Workout Back to UD2.0 Sheet Movement Reps Rest Squats 8-12 75 Leg extensions 8-12 75 RDLs 8-12 75 SHELC 8-12 75 Arnies 8-12 75 Lat pulldowns 8-12 75 Rows 8-12 75 Incline bench 8-12 75 Bis 8-12 75 Tris 8-12 75 Do 2 sets of each, do 'em as pairs if desired. |

What calories and macros are you running on average right now? |

VERY low i would say 100 approx grams of protein , ~ 50-60 grams fat..|

I'm going to ask you to fitday a day of your current eats - I need to see how the fatty acids break down and the fibre. |

MUCH better - I'm glad you clarified. You just typed too fast. I do this too. Now, can you start getting in more vegetables? Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, romaine, spinach, kale... also no grain, that'll just shoot you in the foot, but a cup of raspberries are good for you. |
My left foot, toes been fractured before dont scare me JK
