Going out of town for a week or so and when I get back I plan to up the cals to a level that maintains weight, or loses it very slowly, and I may take my carb level up to 50 on days I lift. I probably will not update this again until I start back on the lower cals in a month or so.

Out of interest: what are you taking the Primrose oil for and why at night?

 

[overhead]

Good source of fatty acid GLA, can be a good anti-inflammatory,may help acne by thinning sebum , there is are some studies that indicate it may help with liver function , etc. I take it at night only becuase I am taking fish oil and other fatty acids through out the day and it happens that I decided to fit it in before I go to bed along with Zinc.

I have decided that I am not going to worry about cutting fat for a while. This weekend I was told atleast 4 times I need to gain weight, so that is what I am going to do. It will be winter soon anyway, as good a time as any to put on a little fat. My lowest weight was 185, and I still had a good deal of fat to lose which tells me I do not have enough muscle mass to worry with dumping this fat yet. I have not decided on a diet yet, but it will most likely be a moderate carb (around 100 or so on workout days and lower on none workout days) at about 4000 cals or so. I think I will try to get to 210-215 which will be a 25-30 pound weight gain. Maybe when I get it nailed down I will post another thread.
