A couple of thoughts: 1) Cutting out added sugars can be a great way to cut calories without cutting nutrition. You're eating at a deficit so you need to cut something. 2) If pudding after dinner is that important maybe trade something with a similar macro nutrient profile from somewhere in your day-- skip bread with lunch…

Looks pretty soft in the pics. Good shot of carbs with the whey post WO is just *one* of the things he needs to be doing.

lbm = lean body mass. 20% or so probably isn't far off-- maybe high by a point or 2. Get some carbs with that stuff after your workout...and by workout I hope to God you mean "lifting heavy stuff frequently" and not "I just did 3 hours on the elliptical"

The big thing with any diet is that if you go back to what you were were doing before you started you're going to end up in the same place you were. If you go back to sedentary + 500g of carbs per day then guess what? The blood type stuff is just hogwash.

I use the stainless steel baskets or trays with 1/4" perforations (sort of like these). Sometimes I use a similar flat tray because it fits in the dishwasher better. Slice up my veggies, toss 'em in a big zipploc bag, throw in some salt and what ever other seasonings I like, pour in some olice oil, seal it off and shake it…

CF affiliate fees are ~$3000/year. Dirt cheap. No franchise fees. No percentages off the top. No marketing. CFers pay marketing when the buy all the Reebok CF gear :D

Serious suggestion: a warm cup of full sodium chicken broth. Seriously. I picked that up from a book I read a few years back. I don't necessarily recommend a ketogenic diet for anyone but it was an interesting read back when I was tinkering with such things. (keto + crossfit = bad...don't do that) The chicken broth thing,…

Is the soy an allergy or a sensitivity? Tempeh (fermented soy) might work...

At least you tried it. I don't think you have an unreasonable position at all. People should generally try something different if what they're doing isn't working. If the only thing you've ever tried is "eat less, move more" then it doesn't make much sense to continue that. I think it's terrible advice to tell people that…

So you've never tried and have no experience with it but you're certain it's "the biggest joke ever"? Sigh.

Thread winner.

No need to be obtuse.

How long have you been Paleo? I cycle in and out of things that aren't paelo based on my goals and reading. Sometimes I'm eating dairy. Often I'm eating white rice. Both things that aren't technically paleo. No refined flour, processed food, cleanest meat I can find, etc. So, yeah, paleoish. I'd recommend any one who is…

600-700 more calories per day is 100-200 per day above maintenance (assuming a 500 cal/day deficit)--or 500 to 1000 extra calories a week. That's hardly pigging out. You're not going to "shock your system" with an extra 4000-4500 calories per week. That is, of course, assuming you lift.

Lift heavy stuff. Eat A LOT. If you've been on, say, a 500 cal deficit while leaning out you need to find another 600-700 calories per day at a minimum. Second breakfast anyone?

I've been paleoish for 4 years. Paleo is 'what' you eat, not necessarily how much. Most paleo types will trade some carb calories for fat calories. Some will claim paleo is low carb-- it's not necessarily, although it can be done that way. It is almost always moderate carb; I get about 200g of carbs per day but I'm a big,…

liquids can be quite calorie dense. They are not awesome for weightloss but for the bulking crowd can be a great way to get the right response and enough calories in. Tread carefully with liquid cals if weightloss is your goal...

Leave the seed in the unused portion and leave it in a ziploc baggie or something in the fridge...just cut off a quarter or something. The exposed edge might get a bit brown but it'll taste fine. Don't expect the cut avocado to last more than a day or two...
