Agreed, stick to eating food, stay away from the protein bars unless absolutely necessary. A lot of junk in them that you'd have to read the fine print to see, many pack a lot of cals too. Most that are carried at my neighborhood GNC range from 350-450 cals, and provide max 30g protein. for 400 cals, you could have an 6oz chicken breast, some veggies and sweet potato or a bit of brown rice - hitting all your macros, and breaking down quickly. Protein bars are processed, so the junk sits on your stomach, harder to break down.

All veggies are good, but green veggies carry less sugar than veggies. Veggies such as carrots, bell peppers carry a lot of sugars and starch. Green veggies such as broccoli, green peppers, asparagus are the cleanest - thats all I eat.
Ahh...I see. So technicallynyou only have 3 "real meals" per day and just fill the rest out with little snacks like almonds/extra oats/rice cakes/etc?
Man that's a big breakfast not sure I can even eat all that at one sitting...I've been doing your oatmeal recipe and that shyt has me full already before adding a omelette or anything else lol...I am smaller than you by weight I assume though. I've been eating the chicken breast/fish+veggie+brown rice/sweet potatoes like 3 times a day (the last meal I don't eat a carb though). Maybe I should cut it to two and just snack.
My maintenance is supposedly around 2,500....I've been getting 1900-1950 for a week..I just want to make sure I'm not losing muscle while trying to cut. As of right now my reps are looking the same and I'm at 173 as of today down from 176. Definitely see my abs coming through more.
Good work on the weight loss. I would suggest giving it another couple of weeks, and if the weight is shedding too fast, then you may be burning muscle. In an effort to prevent that from happening, keep lifting heavy, try not to overdo any cardio that is in your regimen and keep your protein intake high, at about 1-1.5 x lean body mass.
Mostly I just bake, the Tilapia comes pre-grilled, I just throw it in the over. F the foreman, it dries out food. Baking is the most convenient and delicious way as the juices stay in the food while cooking. The foreman extracts all the juice and youre left with cardboard tasting food.

Ahhhh...I see. I think I could actually get close to 300 with that routine. I've been doing them all at once and no cable excersizes...just body weight but extreme. For a minute I was wondering how are you getting 300 in with upside down sit ups and leg raises...those are the more difficult ones IMO. Thanks a lot.
1. Do you reccomend isolating the side delts for workouts, or do compound lifts such as shoulder presses and arnold pressers target them enough for development? The reason I'm asking is because I really hate lateral raises and would rather not do them if I didn't have to.
2. What exactly is ec stack?
3. What are the best ways to hit both heads in the bicep with dumbells? Doing bicep curls with my barbell hurts my forearms to the point where they're in pain for days after whenever I grab something tightly. Money is a little tight right now since I just grabbed a scale, new lock collars for my bars and a few other things, so I'd rather not pick up an EZ curl barbell at this moment. Does pointing my elbows inward target one head more while pointing my elbows outward targets the other? I also do hammer curls with my elbows pointing outward.
Thanks again.

EC Stack is Ephedra/Caffeine stack.

Damn y'all using euphedra? Seems like I've heard bad things about euphedra...never really researched it deeply though. I don't think I want to mess with all that.
You can't spot reduce fat. Depending how skinny you are you may want to build lean muscle first then cut away the BF
