I'm in week 4 of the LiveFit program and I'm loving it! I don't stick closely to the eating plan. I use it as a guideline and then I make it work with my calories and macros. I weigh 125 pounds but eating 1725 calories a day is maintenance for me. Since I want to add muscle, I've upped my calories to 1850. I aim for 135 grams of protein and 50 grams of fat. Then I eat the rest of my calories in carbs. It currently works out to 45% carbs, 25% fat and 30% protein. My weight has held steady since day one. But my waist measurement has gone down a little. I think I've added a tiny bit of muscle and lost a tiny bit of fat. I really want to maximize muscle gain in the first two phases, so I will continue to gradually up my calories until I'm gaining weight. Then I'll worry about cutting the accompanying fat gain in phase 3. I do wish the bulking phases were longer.

Sounds like you know more about what you're doing than I do. ha ha. I am going to keep up with the program but then probably do it again after I complete it. This is kind of "getting my feet wet" with weight training and then I want to do it again and follow it EXACTLY the way it's supposed to be done, schedule and everything. I just feel like I'm not doing it right or something... Though I know I would have better results if I would eat correctly.

I also have a hard time eating all that food. I break it down, so I don't eat the egg whites and starch in one sitting. Here's another tip: blend the oatmeal into a flour, add some berries, and the 5 egg whites to make a smoothie and drink it. Much easier!

So you just blend oat flour with raw egg whites and berries? And it's safe to drink the egg whites that way? I will give that a try. I just never thought it was safe to consume them that way. Thanks!!! I have added the liquid egg whites to my oatmeal before cooking and it tastes decent...though it's not 100% yummy either ha ha

I started LiveFit this week as well. I didn't have time for the workout Monday, so I just moved it to Tues-Fri. The workouts are great so far. I lift at home, so I'm having to change things up a bit (no cable flys or leg press machine). I'm a little worried about my leg workouts because Sunday night I developed water on the knee and I don't know how it's going to react. We'll see.

My problem so far is eating enough. These first few days, I'm unable to eat all the meals. I'm entirely too full. I've skipped dinner each day so far. Only last night did I eat some protein before bed (3oz chicken breast). Because of this, I'm not getting enough calories. I feel great right now, but it's going to catch up with me. I doubt I'm even getting 1,000 calories a day.

I upped my water intake to 64+ ounces a day, and that's really making it difficult to eat a ton.

Bfast: 2-3 egg whites with bell peppers
Snack: 1 turkey muffin + raw carrots
Lunch: 2 tilapia fillets with about 10 spears of asparagus
Snack: 1 turky muffin
Dinner: ???
Snack: ???

I sleep about 8 hours a day. I work nights, so I go to bed around 4am and get up around noon.

The only carbs I've been eating are the oats in the muffins. I have to find a way to incorporate these a little better. I have oats for bfast, brown rice, and whole wheat pasta. I just need to find a way to eat them. And more veggies.

Ugh. Without sugar and simple carbs, and the addition of all this water, my hunger has disappeared.

Any ideas?

Hmm, that is a tough one. I completely agree that the meal plan is difficult because of the volume/amount of food. But barely getting 1,000 calories a day is something I can't understand when I am having difficulty staying under 1500 calories ha ha. Of course, I am still eating all the wrong things though too, I just haven't gotten my *kitten* together in the eating department. I am working on it though. I am sure the fact that you work nights, sleep days is hard too? I used to work nights years ago and of course you don't traditionally eat the same way at night as people would who work during daylight hours.
I wish I could help =(
