Your diet looks fine, I'm on 1200kcal/day diet with carbs/fat/protein macros of 5%/75%/20% and have plenty of energy (I'm well into Ketosis). And your sleep is good. There has to be an underlying issue, are you stressed or worried? Maybe your work is boring or mentally taxing and that makes you fatigued.

Wow..what a dour and taciturn faced picture..I feel sorry for your husband on this day.

Breakfast at 10am: Hormel Black Label - Jalapeno Thick Cut Bacon, 2 pan fried slices Planters - Mixed Nuts (1oz = 28g), 28 g  Kroger - Egg, Hard Boiled, 2 egg Kraft Natural - Triple Cheddar Shredded Cheese (With A Touch of Philadelphia), 14 g (1/4 Cup) Fiber One - Original Bran Cereal, 0.5 cup (30g) Pero Family Farms -…

I wear a Garmin Vivofit and a UA Band at the same time and the Garmin usually has a few thousand more steps on it at the end of the day.

Have a cheeseburger and hot dog but nix the buns and toss back a few Michelob Ultra's or Budweiser Select 55's and you'll be fine.

Macro's shmacro's..don't sweat the macro's!

I haven't ate pizza since last October!

Diuretics, I like MHP's Xpel

Guinness and an assortment of nuts are my preference.

A 200kcal daily surplus is a negligible amount if your bulking in my opinion, I'd increase that to a 500kcal daily surplus. Eat more healthy calorie dense foods like nuts and nut butters.

You do know there is a "Search" function right?

I've never had any desire to get inked (or pierced for that matter) for reasons of my own, so I have to recommend against it.

Great job sbantonio. IF works because it restricts your eating window thereby creating a caloric deficit. I've been doing IF for the last 3 Spring/Summer seasons (I bulk in Autumn/Winter), I usually drop 30lbs in the first 3 months (March-May) and another 10-15lbs the last 3 months (June-August)

I personally don't need or want cheat days even on a 1200kcal/day low-carb diet, I have great willpower and I'm pretty disciplined ; )

I'll be running a 5k on Labor Day weekend, hope to beat last years time of 24 minutes.

"Eat to live, not live to eat"

As the others have said, it's about being in a caloric deficit no matter which style of diet your following. Here's a good and recent YouTube video that sums up the different "designer" diets and why they work which is that they all create a caloric deficit by manipulating macros: Which Diet is Best?!

As a general rule of thumb, you will lose your conditioning/strength at half the rate it took you to gain it.

I like the way you think ; )

Drink wine and eat cheese

1g of pure alcohol = 7kcal and there's 28g to an ounce so a shot of 200 proof liquor (1oz) = 196kcal of "empty" calories, proofs of liquor, mixed drinks, and beers will vary with alcohol content and calories, but yes..you can still drink alcoholic beverages and lose weight if you know what your doing ; )

Was there a young priest and an old priest involved? How about the possessed? Male? Female? Child? Adult? Or were you the possessed? Seriously..I'm proud of "holding my tongue" so to speak today at my place of employment during a meeting.

I may not be Irish but I'm going to drink like an Irishman!

Do you have any running experience? C25k (Couch to 5k) is a good beginner program if you have no running experience but I don't know if there is an app for it. Runkeeper is a pretty decent (and free) app. I'll be running an annual 5k in September like I have been for years. I'm more into weightlifting/bodybuilding than…

A 130+ loss is something to be proud of, one day of of binging isn't going to effect that success much, you may gain a couple of lbs of water weight but so what..that's only temporary. You have to indulge once in awhile to keep your sanity..at least I do!

I consumed a little over 5000kcal yesterday and expect to consume about the same today but I'm in a bulk phase so the more the merrier!
