One of the biggest helps for me was to start taking in calories the moment I wake up. If I wait till lunch to start eating, its really hard for me to catch up. Even on a budget and with a tight schedule with no time for a nice big breakfast, you can have a bagel with butter and cream cheese, a big glass of milk, and a…

The most helpful change for me was making sure I didn't wait till lunch to start eating. On busy mornings, I grab an instant oatmeal and glass of milk when I wake up, and take a banana and protein bar with me as I walk out the door, for about 600 calories. That's 20% of your 3000 calories with almost no time or effort.

On OHP, you're saying 'Just' the bar . . . but 45 lbs OHP is pretty darn heavy for someone benching 55 lbs, especially if you're new to that exercise.

I'm curious to see that link. I've seen an article by Layne Norton PhD talking about approximately 40g of protein being sufficient to reach the leucine threshold for maximal stimulation, but that was for a given meal, not per day.

You probably need a computer. I ran into that with the BLS report. It's a zip file, so I had to download on the computer, unzip, and then email the report to myself.

I started out in a similar situation -- more than 30 lbs overweight with muscles atrophied from inactivity. I'm eating at 10% below maintenance (paying attention to macros and hitting about 30% protein), with a lifting program that's reasonable enough that I can stick with it. I'm still making strength gains while slowly…

Great job. I'm 52 and on a similar journey. Just trying to slowly keep losing, with reasonable lifting routine, till I get the lean look back. Your success is inspiring!
