I'm in the process of losing BF, eating 2800 calories a day and running/lifting weights.

Alcohol sucks
Yes, I just said that. After years of drinking socially and other reasons I find myself more inclined to go for water.. especially after my previous stint with alcohol.

DEAL BREAKERS for dating
What are your deal breakers for dating? For me: 1) Career - if you don't have one, not interested. 2) Entitled - if you're looking for nothing more than someone to take care of you, not interested. 3) Selfish 4) Party girl 5) Lack of Intelligence Beyond that is comes down to chemistry. Interested to hear yours.

Struggling w/ fat
I have a target caloric intake of 2420 calories a day. I did the math posted in the suggestion thread and it came out to 35% protein, 35% fat and 30% carbs.
