Gosh BG, that's less than 10 cals per lb. You must be a hungry girl!
I agree with you on knowing what you're gonna eat. I went back to my prior diet last week and feel SOOO much better.

Gee, I don't think it's that low. She only weighs 150 - well 140 now I believe - so it's still almost 1.5g per lb - that's plenty.

Actually, it will come out to be 13.56 calories per pound of bodyweight 
Of course you calculate for the weight you are gonna be, not the weight you are and 190 is low? that is 1.6 grams per pound, most guys are lucky to get 1.0 when they are bulking up I cut the protein down because I don't need that much protein to negate muscle loss, but that is still a lot of protein. When I do cut carbs, and that will be just like 3 weeks before the show if everything is right and just for like 3-4 days, then I will just cut all my carb intake into half, if everything goes right

Well, I am currently taking in about 1,600 calories so 1600/118 is around 13.56, 118 is the weight I am going for this contest, we shall see , kinda like when I was weighing 120 after the last show, I wanted to get up to about 150, so I ate like I was 150, not like I was 120. I don't use those formulas or anything, that is just what it happend to turn out to be
