First of all, I don't see that much diary in your diet other than an occaisional yogurt, so what's the big deal. If it makes you feel better eliminate diary. However, I'm not clear if you have a milk allergy or are lactose intolerant. The milk on the skin causing a red mark would point to a milk allergy but if you have…

I eat a large amount of wheat products and have for my entire life. I feel great, all my lab tests are in the healthly range and I'm like 5 lbs. from my ideal goal weight. Obviously, wheat hasn't had any negative effect on me so I could care less if someone invented 1,000 reasons not to eat wheat. There is not a single one…

Dude, at 158 lbs., I would limit the cardio. If you do it, add back those calories. Concentrate on building muscle now and once you have added some muscle mass worry about the fat later. At your weight and height there can't be that much anyways. Good luck and stay with it.

I think your numbers are off. Reread the link that has already been sent to you and start from scratch. However, I personally think you need to stop trying to lose weight and try to gain muscle mass instead. To do this you need to eat a slight surplus of calories. Get on a good beginners weight training program and…

That's a lot of cardio. More than necessary for weight loss but probably necessary if you are still training to run a half-marathon. As far as your plateau, I'd focus more on your diet to see better results in your weight-loss.

First, are you sure about your daily calorie intake? Are you weighing your foods? At 6'2" you should definitely be losing more than three-quarters of a lb. per week consuming 1400 calories per day. Although your TDEE calcs sound about right, as others have said, they are just an estimate. Carefully track your calories for…

Hi. There are varying opinions on this. Some add back all the estimated calories from exercise, some half and some do not add any back at all. I personally do not add any back. I would recommend you try this for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Please remember that one week to the next is not a 100% accurate guage…

Hi. If you are new to strength training, you will probably see faster progress if you start with a whole body workout rather that any type of split. Stick with the more complex exercises like press, rows, squats, etc. Once you become more advanced is when you will want to switch to a split and add in more isolation…

A gallon of milk a day sounds like an extremely bad idea. Although you definitely need a good amount of protein to build muscle, even 2% milk has way too much sugar and fat if you are trying for a clean bulk. There are way (or Whey) better options out there. Otherwise your belly is going to out gain your muscle growth.
