Hi Built,
I've read some of your forum posts and you seemed very knowledgeable. I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions. Before I ask a few questions here's some background info on me.
I'm 6'4 and currently 255 pounds. I use to be 330 pounds, but lost about 80 over a year through dieting and hiking.
About a month ago I started to do strength training for the first time in my life. I want get stronger, but still lose weight. I still have a lot of fat. Ideally, I would like to lose about 50 more pounds while getting leaner and stronger.
Everyday, I do cardio first (treadmill and stairs) for 30 minutes. And then I do an hour of strength training. I alternate each day to work out different muscles.
I've been eating about 2700 (mostly fast food like subway, kfc, and taco bell) calories each day and burn off about 700 calories from working out.
So, I've been maintaining a 2000 calorie level each day.
