question on Shadow's diet...i'm back at it...

[toitasatiger]

So the first time i did shadow's project I only used the workout plan. I'm extremely bored with my old diet so much that I was cheating on it WAAAAAY too much so I started shadow's diet plan that is on the sticky...does anyone know how many calories that adds up to? I can figure it out if i look at all my labels and stuff but i'm being lazy right now...

so far i feel great though. it's only been 2 days of eating this new diet but I'm liking the change and my workouts have been awesome...alright that's it for now.

yep...its about 1450-1600 depending on the specific types of choices

okay...hmm, i was previously eating around 1200-1275 cals a day and maybe that was too low. right now i weigh about 140 and i know my bf is higher than it used to be but i haven't had it tested. i trained for 6 months and ran a marathon in Feb. and although my ass is full of muscle...I know that I can be a lot slimmer in the waist and more toned up. do you think i should drop some calories from the 1450-1600 range or would i be good. i'm eating exactly the way it's listed...M1-protein shake, M2-handful of almonds, M3-spinach salad-local dressing-couple strawberries and then tuna/crackers meal to go thingie, M4-protein shake after workout, M5-6oz protein-small potato-veggies. (sometimes i might go without the potato or i can go without it completely)

HI toit!

When I did the shadow project I started at exactly 140 myself and the cals were fine ; even as I lost weight I always kept it at 1400 ish.

I ate the exact meals that you ate as well ; though I never ever ever ever cut out that potato in m5!! NEVER!! LOL. That was one of my faves.

Good to see you back toit!

aww hey Cindy yep, i'm back. For some reason i'm really motivated but I just can't get this weight off i started a new birth control because the previous one i was on made my boobs get out of control!! they got big and i didn't really gain anywhere else but i still have a lot of mass from training for the marathon i ran in Feb that kinda just turned to mush. my butt is bigger but it's all muscle for the most part but i really want to get back down to a size 4 in my waist...we'll see what happens. i'm in a rut right now. i hate that.
