DEXA. Next to post-mortem dissection, it's the gold standard for body composition.

Most helpful - thanks!

ThreeGigs, thank you so much. :thumb:

I read this shit, but Sassy lives it. Listen to her.

Why? You think your body can tell percentages? Or do you think fats will somehow interfere with dieting? Sometimes it means you need it, sometimes you just have to press on. You'll get to know how your body is responding as you move through this, but the leaner you get, the more frequently...

It's all about the calories - you need to figure out a way to eat less, forever, and not mind too much. The best approach for that is to focus on the foods that are the most satiating (protein, fat, fibre) and avoid the ones that are not (anything with fructose in it, low-protein foods). Think...

If you're fussy, you'll like this setup - you get to use your own foods that you're already eating; you just rework their relative proportions. Try this: work out one sample day in fitday. Post it up when you've got it worked out and we'll make suggestions from there.

Oh - I didn't say it wouldn't work; I just don't see it as preferable in any way to the OP's low-carb option. You did the standard, bro-school cut and those do work - they're just unnecessarily unpleasant. No - not at all. In fact, you may find it more comfortable because on three meals, you...

Hey there - another lower-carb dieter here. I lost the weight on the Atkins diet, lifting weights a few times a week. I keep it off with a lower carb intake than most. How about you read homework I and see if you can figure out how to get in what you need from the foods you already eat. Any...

Okay, you've got about 180 lbs lean mass - protein and fat are sufficient and you appear to be running a low carb diet at a significant deficit. May I suggest an occasional refeed? All excellent suggestions. :thumb: This sounds, um, horrible. Why would you want to suggest eating a higher carb...

Thanks for this. I'll read thought it when I've taken my Dexedrine. ;)

PS ManInBlack, why aren't you just eating the egg yolks? They're loaded with protein and healthy fat.

Got Built? » Protein Waffles Here's your answer to how to combine eggwhites and oatmeal. (You can make these into pancakes if you prefer)

FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal post up your average intake - total calories, grams protein, carb and fat.

Looks fine to me. Your protein need not be QUITE that high, but it won't cause you harm. You may find this much protein too filling - if so, trade out 50g or so for carbohydrate. You might consider adding a few green things to your diet. Broccoli for instance helps your body clear the...

Thanks for that. I was thinking you might have taken some courses in physiology that explained specifically about proteases and enterocytes. Do you have formal training in these areas?

Fixed.

This can work. This can also work. And of course, this can work too. Please read homework 1 - you'll be able to see how to make your particular situation work for you.

"Ab Roll Outs" sounds like a cookie.

Thank ThreeGigs for this interpretation - he posted it up on the protein thread:
