I don't have any advice on your situation (calories wise) but I do want to say just keep going. You can do it & will do it. Keep it up.

Lemons turn to a base when digested...

Apples...literally an apple a day!

Please shut up about saying you can eat enough protein & get it through regular food sources... YES...you can but I would rather not be eating 4+ chicken breasts a day. Plus after a heavy lifting session I do NOT want to be eating a chicken breast or sandwich 15-20 minutes after working out so I supplement with a protein…

I track everything that goes into my mouth... Multivitamins, fat burner, pre-workout, sodas, pickles, mustard...etc It's good to see the spectrum of things outside of calories like sodium, sugar, vitamins, etc.

HOLY CRAP.... I thought it was just my increased fiber intake until I just ate one of those and realized that I was pootin left & right!

Deficit first Exercise second

One can dream.

Going to ask my wife this right now.

Resting will not make you lose all of your progress. I wouldn't slow down but maybe find a good workout split, try finding a 4 or 5 day split from BodyBuilding.com. Basically you work out 4 or 5 days with planned rest days. A typical 5 day split looks like this: Day 1: Legs/Abs Day 2: Chest Day 3: Back/Abs* Day 4: Rest Day…

I just can't wait to start lifting more to the level to be able to compete

Also I totally enjoyed 4 slices of Domino's pizza last Friday...that might become a usual thing...

On the subject of Gatorade....yes & no Gatorade technically is better than soda but you really don't need to drink sports beverages unless you're working out or doing strenuous activity losing lots of sweat & electrolytes... See when you sweat and work out long enough your body burns glycogen for energy (stored carbs)…

I read this and was like ..."Is he seriously complaining about food...he always talks about eating real foods...." Then I laughed :)

Are you in the beginning phases of fat loss? Usually the first few pounds (anywhere from the first 10 to 15) are not subcutaneous fat (fat that you can see on the outside of your skin)...it's usually intramuscular fat, the fat that is stored inside your muscles. (Yeah our bodies suck and use that fat first). Do your…

I did something like this when I was involved in my local church's youth group when I was a teen... Needless to say I caved and played a video game two days later ... :/

I just log workouts...now if I help someone move or do some other strenuous activity for an hour or more I maybe budget an extra 100 calories or so for that day.

Yay another P90X3'r! I've lost (visibly) a LOT of inches. I have pictures too but I'm waiting to finish the program to post them, yet I've only lost about 12 pounds on the scale (which I could care less about). Great results, keep us posted as shall I!

Amazing post, information & truth. Oh and results, killer dude!

I really want to start competing in lifting competitions. My goal is to get my weight down and start packing on muscle so I can fit into a good weight class/range & compete. Also for all the health benefits that comes along with a good healthy weight!

CUZ GAINS...DONT WANNA LOZE THEM GAINZ... Also you can get your heart rate up & sweat hard lifting weights...

Here's the "Proprietary Blend" (aka the easy way of saying a bunch of stuff mixed together) "Proprietary blend of Chlorogenic Acid (from Green Coffee Caffea arabica Bean) Extract (contains less than 2% natural caffeine), Garcinia cambogia Fruit Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Hoodia gordonii Whole Plant Extract." Of course…

Yep. Eat more, lose more.

Snooki (Jersey Shore) is the same height as you. She should be someone you should aspire to be at your height, she proves that you can be healthy & fit at the short short range.…

This guy does. I generally switch my breakfast every other day so I usually eat the same thing for breakfast two days in a row. So I generally log breakfast for today & the day ahead. Snacks always vary from day to day but I have a standard of things that I generally eat. Lunch changes day to day. Dinner changes day to day…
