Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Well, this was the first week I haven't had any change in BW, I think I really need to get my BF measured again, just gotta find time. My eating habits are a schedule during the week, it is the weekend that I get thrown a little out of whack! Should I look at making any changes?

Typical Daily meal includes
7am
7oz Lean Ground Beef
2 Omega 3 Eggs
3 Egg Whites
Multivitamin

10am
2 scoops optimum whey
1 Tablespoon Flaxseed Oil
Mixed Berries
Fibre Supplement

12pm
1 can Albacore Tuna
3 Cups Spinach
1 tbls Flax Seed oil
1 tbls ACV

4pm
2 tbls nat pb
1 Cup Celery (Protein Low I know)

6pm
6-10oz Chicken, beef, fish
2 cups Mix Veggies (Peppers, Onions, Brocolli)

1015pm
2 scoops optimum whey
1 Tablespoon Flaxseed Oil
Mixed Berries
Fibre Supplement

I usually get in at least 4 litres of water. Any recommendations?

IDF...a couple things

Your meals look better all of the time, but we need daily totals to help you best. Because of your inconsistant posting, and business travel.....the w8 stall may be meaningless...

It's not about bW...your skinfold comments demonstrate that you "Know This"

or

Your metabolism may be acclimating and it's time for a tweak!

If we had 3-5 weeks of totals and posts, we could easily accommodate you....

How about posting totals as a daily average for the last week...and we will look it over?

Hey DP,

I know I fell behind a few weeks with travel, but have been trying to make up for it with more consistent eating habits. I have noticed some better defenition in chest and shoulder area, but the my gut and legs are still holding alot of fat, although I do notice pants fitting a little better. Anyway here are my approx daily totals that I have calcuated since I have been regularly posting the last few weeks.

Cals 2247
Fat 111
Carbs 41 (Active Carbs would probably be around 22)
Protein 277

I think I have made drastic improvements in my eating habits, since I first started posting, at least I think the macros look alot better. I have also missed my carb ups since returning from my travels , but am happy to tell you that I will be carbing up tonite, as I have bought the necessary ingredients . I figured I would carb up following my larger workouts, which are Legs and Back, they are also parts that I would like to improve the most as well. Anyway enough jumble, I hope this info helps, I will be keeping my update regular, and have no reason not to be.

Thanks again

IDF

I am just finishing my carb up!
It sure is alot of food.
1 large banana
10 oz sweet potato
1 cup veggies
1 tbls butter
1/2 cup steel cut oats (before cooking)?

is that right with the steel cut oats?
I though I read that you don't need as much with the steel cut oats in comparison to old fashioned?

You have made a lot of progress!

And your description of the body changes sounds perfect for "continuously making progress"

Let's try this for 10-14 days , and see if just a macronutrient shift will do the trick....this might actually be slightly less calories per week because of no carb/ups:

300 P 70 C 90 F 2290 caloreis 6 meals

50 P 25 C 15 F
50 P 05 C 15 F (active berries)
50 P 20 C 15 F
50 P 05 C 15 F (active berries)
50 P 10 C 15 F
50 P 00 C 15 F

w8...want to add/change anything?

You are correct, about 1/2 as much...at your BW that would have been up to 2/3 to 3/4 of a cup!

Water needs to go to 5 L

It's a lot of food, but works great!! Dr. Pain

DP,

Thanks for the advice I will give that a try, it will have to wait until tomorrow as I already have my meals for today.

Anyway just a quick question, I know you want me to figure this out for myself, which I will do, but do you have any suggestions for foods to bring up the 20-25 g of carbs during the meals you identified.

Damn this is a bitch to figure out. I may need some help, any type of protein source fuqqs up the the fat content. The only one for sure that I can figure out is the protein shakes, I know that is the easy one. Anyway give me a few I will try and post a breakdown this evening!

1/4 cup steel cut oats

Meal 2
2 scoops optimum whey

Meal 4

?

Meal 5
Beef, Chicken or fish

Since you have 3 solids...another shake would be fine. Solids always come first if/when you can, then shakes!
