    too many calories, try 1500

    Really? I started down around 1450-1500 and had the same results with the only difference being my energy was way down...lifting sessions were hard because I already felt cooked. I figured I was eating too little and not dropping because of that.
    Nope, there's no way you need to be at 1500. You're a 212 pound man. You don't need to be that low. 1850 is probably pretty good, as long as you're accurately calculating that 1850 (a food scale will really help here).

    That's what I was hoping. I try to keep my 1850 lean too. Very little junk, mayo, or any of that. Trying to eat mostly lean protein, fruits, veggies, etc. The only thing I'm doing differently than last time when I had really good luck cutting is drinking quite a bit of coffee. I've heard that soy/dextrose/hydrogenated oil crap that goes into the Coffeemate can trigger the body to hold onto fat...might cut the coffee again.

    Just do what I do: use real half and half in your coffee. 1tbsp per 8oz coffee is fine. This also helps me meet my fat macro :drinker:
