Well, I went and got my bodyfat tested. The test was a joke - one of those digital handlebars you hold that supposedly gives you an accurate reading (within 1%). Overall bodyfat came in at 22.7%. Up almost 4.5% since middle of January - not too bad considering I eat at restaurants 2x a day. How accurate it is?? Who knows - I'm going to be buying some digital calipers soon to get a more accurate idea, but it's not too far off from where I thought I probably was.
Went and pigged out on Mexican one last time, came home and weighed myself on my new scale and it showed 146.5 lbs. I guess maybe I'm not too bad, but I'm still disappointed in how I look. So here's the new meal plan that I'll try to stick to as best I can. Realizing I'm not dieting for a comp, I will try to spice it up here and there and not stick to it completely, but for now it's a start. Comments are always welcome.
Calorie intake goal per day: 1450-1700
Height: 5'6"
Prelim weight: 146.5 lb
Prelim Bodyfat: 22.7%
Measurements and pics will be coming in a few days...
Meal Plan days 1, 3, 5 and 7:
#1: 4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 1/2 c natural oatmeal, 1 scoop whey
#2: 3 oz protein (chix, tky, fish), 1/2 c brown rice
#3: 3 oz protein, 1/2 c peppers and onions, 1/2 c yams
#4: 1/2 c lowfat cottage cheese, 1/4 c berries

peppers and onions, 1/4 reduced fat mozz cheese
# 6: 1 T natty PB, Protein Drink

This is just a basic idea on where I need to start. Won't be following this exactly, especially with working rotating shifts. Am going to try my hardest. Cheats will be only on special occasions.
Diet will start Friday, April 21 and last approx 12 weeks. would like to see my bodyfat down to 15 or 16% by the end of July. Not sure if that's do-able, but I guess I'll find out.
