at 240 lbs. you should be taking in around 2800-2900 calories/day. Your diet seems to contain around 1200 calories.

Please refer to my post about starvation in this thread for further information:

5 years ago i was doing this program that told me to do 1g of carbs per lbs, 2g of protein per lbs and 15 cals per lbs. It really does work but doing all the math and coming up short or over at the end of the day makes it really hard to stick to.


Thanx

yeh u reaaaallly need more calories along with a good lifting and a great cardio routine....i really think a good cardio routine and a good diet you will look great before summer time...i had to really concentrate on cardio to get my bodyfat down, i was at 6'1 295 at 20% bodyfat but strong as hell than down to 260 at 18% and now at 6'1 275 at 15% and all of that loss was just ruuunnning and sweating and trying to eat right (its tooought to eat right when the only thing you hav is a college cafeteria!)

keep on working dude, ull be a stud by summer time!

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm hijacking this thread, but I always hear to eat 1.5 - 2 grams of protien per pound of body weight. Is that LBM or total body weight w/fat included?

you are hijacking the thread, next time post in your own thread...

For most bodybuilders, 1.5-2 grams pr/lb. is standard. However, for most dieters you can get away with 1 gr pr/lb. easily, especially with the right fat intake.
