Some Serious Diet Changing Advice

[viciousness]

so i went from 330 to 257 in about lets say like 6-8 months well im here now and i need to start losing more. I'd 6'0 and 257 dry as of this morning, even though ive lost such a great deal all over my whole body. I want to lose more. Only problem is ive eaten the same thing for the past year and a half. I think my diet is in need of change cause it cant be the carido and lifting (i know it).

Wake up 1 scoop whey 4 eggwhites on a hard roll with hot sauce

I can tell you without a doubt your not eating enough. Your metabolism is probably shut down. Looks like your getting 1500 calories if even that much, and that is starving at 257 lbs. Double your egg whites in the morning and add 1 cup oats. This will give you some energy for your workout 2 hours later. Add some dextrose to your PWO shake, 1/4 cup. An hour later, the sub isn't the worst you could do but try to a raw source of protein/carbs, like white/sweet potato, chicken breast, and veggies. In your next meal, more raw protein (chicken, tuna, lean steak, salmon, etc) and a healthy fat, maybe ANPB, 1-2 servings. For dinner, include a salad with olive oil, raw protein, veggies. Adding a sweet potato in one of your last 2 meals is OK too.

Send me a PM and I can send you the diet I used at 260 lbs to cut down to 220 lbs. It's about 2500 calories.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Very impressive and not an easy task by any means.

You have come to the right place to seek help in sorting out a diet.

I would agree with oufan that you are probably not eating enough calories, and I would start to increase them slowly.

I weight 143 lb right now and eat 1800 kcals on a competition diet.

I have eaten this amount of calories before, and with carbs, and dropped to the single digits for bodyfat. Actually, the lower my bodyfat got, the more calories I had to eat to maintain my muscle and continue to lose bodyfat.

The whole numbers on the scale is a very misleading thing. I think people get to fixated on it, without paying attention to how they look.

I would start to also take measurements of your body, and also tracking your bodyfat is the best way to see what sort of weight you are losing.

Most people want to lose fat, not weight.

Exercise is also key in getting the body you want, in particular weight training.

With weight training, people often find their weight goes up but their bodyfat will decrease.

There is a fantastic book called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto, it is an e-book and you can get it on-line.

It covers all the basics of diet and training.

GET BURN THE FAT FEED THE MUSCLE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE!

I agree 100%. You need 5 to 6 meals in the day every 3 hours or so, w/ more cals and better complex carbs, healthy fats, and more protein.
