help i desperatly need help

[werdwerd]

my goal is to be about uh 210? maybe 220 with 10% bf or less... i have tried everything...... ive been working out for about 6 years, i am 22 now, before i moved to phoenix (about 3 years ago) i had no gains due to my horrible eating habbit i finaly fixed. so ive been working out 'correctly' for about 3 years now. when i moved here i was 6'3 185 (yes i was fat) i had love handles a belly and bitch tits. I got so frustrated i decided to just stop eating and do cardio more or less and lost 30 lbs (to 150, yes i kno this is rediculously underweight - thats how serious i was about gettin rid of my bitch tits, belly, and love handles) but alas, they stil remained, but a bit more toned down then before therefore i began to bulk to avoid risk of being commited to a mental hospital for anerexia. so about the past year and a half i gained about 40 lbs, got up to around 193 then started to get carpal tunnel so i laid off lifting so i decided to start cutting again to attempt, once again to get rid of my deformations on my body which were getting out of control again. for about 3 weeks now ive been doing 40 minutes of cardio and doing light lifting (2-3 times a week) to attempt to keep my muscles from fading like they love to do. instead of eating next to nothing like before i eat around 2k calories a day and just do more cardio to make up for it. my arms were 15 3/4" and now are under 15" once again i am losing muscle faster then i am losing fat... i tried to lift hard today and i had lost a rediculous amount of strength, i dont kno what to do? could it be too much estrogen? am i doing something wrong? i take gluatmine multivitamins and fish oil and drink a protien shake after my workout - a typical meal i would eat a day would be what i ate today: 1 whole egg 2 eggwhites scrambled and a bowl of oatmeal, protien shake post workout, tuna helper (not the whole box), then before bed i will eat a soup type thing i made w/ boiled chicken breasts black eyed peas and potatos....... please.. some one tell me what is wrong with me i cant take it anymore

dude, obviously you need more cals if you are losing muscle before fat. When you undereat like that your body will go into "starvation" mode. Thus, your body will burn muscle and keep fat because it is easier for the body to store fat than it is muscle. If you eat to many calories, well thats simple knowledge. So find the right amount of cals, which is probably 2400- 2500ish for you (if you look around, you'll know that I only eat 2100ish, buts thats me).

You need to up your calorie intake. Eat around 6 meals a day spaced 2 - 3 hrs apart. Make each meal about 400 calories. Don't eat very many carbs in your last 2 meals. You need to eat "clean" things... look around the boards, you'll know what they are. You need to have a ratio like this. 40% proteins 30% carbs 30% fat... an easy online program to use is fitday.com... it will do all the ratios and stuff for you.

Could you give a breakdown of your current stats(weight and bf%). It sounds like your calories are just way too low. You arent going to gain muscle by eating 2k cals and only doing light lifting and 40 mins of cardio.
