Shadow - you are my hero and what you say is the bible as far as I'm concerned, of course - I appreciate all you ladies input too, but I've decided to do cardio first thing in the morning before eating, and then have my egg white pancake with oatmeal afterwards. I then do weights usually about two hours later then have my whey protein shake with an apple right after that.
Thanks Shadow, you're right I do tend to over analyze sometimes, my brother is always telling me that, just stick to a simple diet with clean protein, fat when needed at appropriate times and carbs when appropriate, which I have a total understanding of now.
Thanks again.
