Solid volume and intensity big man. Don't sweat the scale, it means nothing. If the shoulders on the shirts are fitting tighter and the waist is getting more loose, you're moving the right direction.

Thanks man. The scale doesn't really mean much to me I just step on it out of curiosity mostly lol. Just surprised that it really hasn't budged for the last 5 or 6 weeks.

When I first decided to change my sh1tty eating habits and life style I went from like 250 to 230 ish pretty quick. But I've been between 210-220 now for probably 16 (ish) months I'd say.

When I started this adventure, and during my PXB log, I dropped a significant amount of weight right off the bat. Since then my weight has pretty much stayed the same +/- a couple of lbs. I got frustrated at first, but then I saw the progress through pics. Don't let the weight thing stress you out. You're probably doing the recomp thing like snags said. 2250 cals is not a whole lot, but if you're building muscle because those cals are quality and you're synthesizing protein at a good rate, then it's a possibility. If you're seeing new veins, that's a good sign that you're leaning out. I'd say you're on a good track.

Dude breakfast foods are my weakness lol waffles,pancakes, French toast all have a special place in my heart lol I've been craving all 3 since Saturday haha. And pizza, ice cream and chicken wings. My next cheat meal isn't until after the first week of June and I've already told the wife I'm hitting a Buffett somewhere to knock out all cravings in one meal lol

same here man. I could eat my weight in breakfast sweets. Pizza and wings hold no attachment for me though, for some reason. I'm just horrible with baked goods.
 
It's all in your head fellas. The better shape you get into and the longer u eat healthy foods, the less you'll want that stuff
 
I'm a baked goods fiend...had 6 sisters and they were always baking sh!t. Lol

Of course you want that, you fuggin moron that sh1ts delicious" it's a constant battle at this point lol. Not to mention I have to stare at a vending machine full of candy bars 8 hours a day at work! That's will power in my mind haha

I was like WTF mom!!! Hell no keep that away from my house lol

Agreed. My last cheat meal which turned into a cheat day made me feel like absolute dog crap the next day. Granted it started off with 3 pancakes 4 pcs of French toast 3 pcs of reg bacon and 2 reg sausage pattys for breakfast and only got worse from threre. im gonna try and not go so over board again haha.

Lol it kind of is for me right now. The only time I can really fit it into my macros is on my refered meal. Unless I only eat like a 1/4 of a cup and I'd rather not eat it at all if I'm just gonna want more when it's gone lol right now my only cheaty type food is Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread with 1/2 serving of almond butter on it....And it's amazing everytime lol

What's your diet layout like Dan? You said Oatmeal cant fit into your macros. I think my diet is all jacked up because I consider stuff like this to not be a cheat food.

I don't really consider it as cheat food. As of right now though it doesn't fit since 1/2 cup has like 45 carbs, and right now I'm only allowed 90 a day which I usually save for quinoa, grapefruit, a slice of Ezekiel bread and sweet potatoes + the small amount of carbs from my shakes (2 at most a day) and almond butter. 90 carbs goes fast lol
 
snagencyV2.0 said:
indeed it does
which leaves me to wonder: how are you fitting all those carbs you list there into 90g/day?
you must be taking one bite out of each or something :think:

lol...that's what I was thinking when I read it. Maybe he doesn't count fiber??

Haha def. don't get all that each day. I usually swap carb sources around. Quinoa sweet potatoes grapefruit one day quinoa Ezekiel bread grape fruit the next ect. No real pattern just whichever sounds good for the day. The only constant that I have everyday is the quinoa and most days sweet potatoes.
