There is quick cooking oats and then there are the flavored packs that are loaded with sugar and junk. Nothing wrong with the quick oats. Add your own splenda and flavor. As for the flavored junk, I don't see why anyone would buy it. It is far more expensive and not as good for you.

1 cup of raisins is 493 calories. So I would say a handful or two could easily be that. My point was that he needs to start being more accurate with tracking as calories from little things like that can add up really fast.

Depends on my diet but either whey or oats+whey if I want carbs.

I would say 1g is a minimum on a cut. Higher would be better.

2500 calories is low for someone who weighs 261. Most calculators are not LBM but just total weight. Your fat still needs calories to be heated and you still have to haul it around. Figure your maintence and go from there. I'm ~200lbs and maintain around 3500 calories so I could cut on 3000 and...

I'm 5 days into my hardcore diet and feel great. I set a goal of 5 weeks of hard dieting and if I stick to it my girlfriend and I are going on a nice trip or some reward. We are holding eachother accountable for each others actions. Find a way to motivate yourself and stick to it.
