  • How about just adding 50-100 calories a week til you get to the level you want to be at? Most people are really hungry the day after working out with weights (have a need for more calories).:wink: Edited to say, your smoothies are really high fiber, that may be part of the problem (first thing in the morning).

  • Instead of NROLFW take a look at New Rules of Lifting for Life (same author). It's designed for older people that may have had various injuries in life. So easier on our bodies, to prevent injuries. There are more variations of the exercises, and ways of putting the routines together.
