Okay. So then do I still keep a constanct 40/30/30 on the macros, regardless of the calorie fluctuation? Sorry to be a pain. Just want to get it right so I can plan.

Ah....now that makes sense to me. Thanks! And thanks for the edict on NOT mixing fat and starchy carbs together in the same meal. That tweak alone may help quite a bit. Love your training log! You're fantastic.

Skittles - (btw your handle is the same as a woman on a political board I frequent. Any relation..hehe). On the HITT and lifting. Looking back at my log, I did HITT in the am empty and it was LEG day! Today was arms. Not so bad, but still less than effective. I really do have to go back to a...

Wow. So you're able to HITT and THEN lift without any decrease in energy? But I see you're not on a fast when you cardio, so that might be a difference there. I've always done my cardio after lifting but couldn't split it this week and nearly died. How way leg day for you?

Yeah, I know. I know. So maybe I can HITT in evenings. I can't hit it hard directly before or after lifting; I've tried both ways - It sucks.) But if I cardio in PM, I lose the empty stomach benefit, yes? What would you suggest?

MGF, we have matching schedules. I just completed week #1 today. Are you following the food plan as well? Have you had to substitue machine moves for DBs on any of the supersets? Reason I ask is because I had to *alter* slightly to keep my momentum and intensity. And are you doing the am / pm...

Hi Jenscats. Thanks for your imput. I'm really trying to refine my diet to Shadow's plan, that's why I was asking if it was integral. You say that I don't have to follow it to see results, though. So....confused. Here's a breakdown of what's been a typical food plan for me this week on HITT...

Thanks for your response. Good to hear someone else is training with this killer program. How far along are you? And, yeah. I'm hip to fitday.

Well, Hello to the Shadow Man himself. Thank you for this great program. Question on diet... If I calculate my daily calories given the 10, 11, 12 range 145 x 10 = 1450 145 x 11 = 1595 145 x 12 = 1740 Which one do I use? And, do I recalculate as weight decreases or stay consistent with, say...

Hello All, First of all, I am deeply impressed with how informative, scientific and inspiring this forum is. I’ve lurked and cruised for several weeks, assimilating work-out and nutrition tips, and incorporated these into my own individual goals and time lines. Thank you for this wealth...
