Well I'm a newbie, so take my opinion with a grain of salt (pun intended =p ) However, having sodium at every meal certainly can't be healthy in the long run. Do you use salt at every meal to enhance the flavor of what you eat? Maybe it's time to find foods you like that you don't have to...

Check your blood pressure. If it's high, then lower salt intake, if it's fine, then you're probably ok.

I think that based on the experience of so many here and else where getting better gains when using protein powder in their shakes is enough proof to show that the body can and does digest the protein.

Sorry to toss this back up to the top, but anyone looking for info on this should check out pilonidal.org I've had 3 surgeries for this so far and I'm getting to the point of needing a 4th sometime within the next year. The surgeries can vary depending on how big they are and if it's just a...

Thanks again for all the replies and those sample meal schedules will help me a ton! Do you just eat the tuna plain out of the can? Or am I missing something?

I guess I've learned from this post that I need to change the types of foods as well and not just look at the overall calories.

Hmmm, ok. Let me try to throw something together on fitday and see how it looks.

First, THANKS for taking the time and interest in helping me, that goes for all of you! Second, I inserted my results below in BOLD = 2401 with this method = 2024 with this method (35.8 % BF = 169lbs of LBM) Seriously? I know there are much smarter people out there than me who have lived...

Thanks guys. What would be a good substitute for snacks? The last attempt I made to lose I would blend a protein shake with strawberries and oats twice a day. One restriction on my diet is that it also needs to be free of diary products because I'm lactose intolerant. I'm only 25 and having...

Should I not be too concerned about these first 2 weeks then? Maybe my body is adjusting to the new diet/exercise and will start shedding the fat?

Hmmm, well looking back at my diet this week, I've been around 20% Cal from Fat and Prot and 60% carb. Should I add some protein shakes into my diet to bump Calories over 2,000 eventhough I don't weight train that heavy? I currently have a problem with one of my wrists which hurts if I grip...
