Interesting website
So I was just doing a search on high protein foods, weightlifting, etc. and came across this website. Some of it is common sense, some of it, like how much protein should you have, I actually found an answer to. Not what I read about on the message board, or what my DR told me, but it actually gave a number range [.5 gram-2 grams per lb of body weight in case you don't check out the article!] If you sift through the site it has info. on weight loss, protein foods, cravings (he gets a little mean in that one, but honestly, he's totally right!) So I'm going to give his weight loss plan a try and I'm sure I'll post on it in about a month or so to see if it gets any results. It will need some modification probably ??? but basically the plan was to record how many calories you eat in a day (eating how you normally do) then subtract 500 calories, then do cardio 3-5 days a week for 30 mins. Weigh yourself weekly, if you see less than a 1 lb. loss then he tells you waht to change. I think this may work for me because I'm trying to find that magic number for me to lose what I gained, and what I need to maintain because it's not the same as it was a few mos. ago even. I'm also trying to build muscle though too and get some kick ass arm muscles, etc.

It is all about figuring out your caloric needs to lose and maintain, calculating your body fat, etc.
