Take a look at my diary for 8-11-13
Any advice? Is everything PERFECT? Does this work with 500 cal of exercise/day, 3500 burn/week + 3500 deficit from diet?
Goal is 2 pounds/week!
I have 60 pounds of body fat atm (27%), i'm 220 pounds, my goal is 13-15% then clean bulk, so i wanna lose up to 30 pounds (15-18 weeks)

I need advice, is everything perfect for this? i spent the like 4 hours + on my meals!

briefly: 5 meals 3 hours apart, start 7-8am, end 6-7pm, sleep 10-11 pm...

    Are you a bit of a perfectionist?

    Its easy to get swamped by numbers and macros, and worrying about getting them just right. But the thing is, that your body isn't a computer. Everything you measure and burn is an estimate. You need to try something for a few weeks and see how your body reacts - then make adjustments based on your results.

    But your diary looks OK, its meeting your targets.

    you've hit our macros almost dead on and you're eating healthy. so what could be wrong? do that for a few weeks(the same approach not the exact sam foods) and see what happens to your weight and how you are feeling. resist te urge to make daily adjustments.

    i don't know if your goals are realistic though. that kind of transformation might need more time, so don't be impatient.

    0OneTwo3 THANK YOU for everything! And yes i'm a perfectionist lol, everything's being measured and meals are done ahead of time so i don't actually spend any time except microwaving the food lol!

    I've done it before onetwo3! i've lost 30 pounds in less than 3 months at one point during the summer and that was with a **** diet lol and 600-700 calorie burn/workout x5/week, i feel like i did the hard part, no more stress for me! and amazing i'm UNDER 300mg cholesterol whoo!

    hey i wish you all the success with your plan.
    i just wanted you to know that even if things are as meticulously planned as you have them planned out there still might be hickups.
    so if it takes a little longer or the results are not exactly as you imagined don't get discouraged.
