Starting off right

[pintoca]

get some omega-3 fish oils... 9cals per gram of fat ya know

I use Ascenta NutraSea - Original (Lemon Flavour). not cheap but probably one of the best fats you can buy.

this is what theie info had to say...

The two omega-3 fatty acids required by the body are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Oils from fatty fish are nature's best source of EPA and DHA. Comparatively, flax seed oil contains a high concentration of omega-3s but in a form called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). For the body to use ALA it must first convert it to EPA and DHA. This conversion process is very inefficient and results in less than 10% of the ALA being converted to EPA and DHA.

hope this helps...

agreed.

You can start by addind 1tbsp Flax in the morning, and 2 Tbsp in the evening (far away from your PWO shake or any other high GI carbs though).

Those are 360 cals right there. You could eat some nice salmon here and there (reduce flax on salmon days) as well

pinoca... what do u think of what they have to say about flax oil not being efficient?

Just thought I would post an update...

I am down to 267 lbs.

My strength levels have actually gone up.

Dropping the weight slowly.

Can you post your current diet, or is it like the one you posted awhile back? I'm looking for other ways to get my protein in without more calories. I'm preparing to move so money is tight, pork chops cheaper and more meals then chicken so getting my protein from that and Protein powder, liquid egg whites, cottage cheese and such.

In august I should have ample money for my food, my wife starts law school then and get scholarship so that frees my personal account funds. I'm 213 now, started at 255. I eat around 230g of protein. And since you were so big and gained strength I'd like to see what you are eating, if you don't mind.

Yeah I'd be interested to know which route you took, the 1900+- or the 2700+ cals.

It is closer to the 1900 range.

That gives me a little room to cheat if I need too...with my work sometimes I am in a position that I have to eat at restaurants that arent very beneficial to loosing weight...

It is working so far.

Strength levels are actually going up. The weight is falling off.
