I am counting calories. My fat % is at 20, Carb 30% and Protein 50%. In the second phase of p90x, I believe it goes to 20, 40, and 40. Seriously, I am counting every cal.
The turkey burgers are from Sam's, basically ground turkey, 98% lean or some crap. I am taking flax in the morning, making yogurt treats with dannon vanilla yogurt and blackberries/rasberries/blueberries (which ever one I am in the mood for).
Based on burn the fat feed the muscle, and me being 31.5 yrs old, 250, 6 foot, and using moderatly active, I should be taking in around 3600 cals to MAINTAIN. So I started at at 3000, but did not seem to work. I then lowered it to around 2600. I was still around 250 then out of no where last week, I hit 244.
Water?
Well, this weekend, Saturday I helped my mother in law move. Only had breakfast and then after the move, we had mexican and I had two margarritas. Sunday was just a normal day, had all my meals as normal.
Monday morning, I am back at 249. P90x yesterday and JiuJitsu at night, and I am still sitting at 249.
This is crazy.
Right now I am counting cals and taking in around 2500 to 2700.
Oh, and I had blood work done on my thyroid to make sure, and it all came back normal. Doc said to just lower my cals to 2500 or so.
I will for sure try the fat burner, but I cant figure what is wrong here.
One thing I am noticing is I AM drinking a lot of water, but not really peeing as much as I used to when drinking water like crazy. Am I holding water for some reason? Sodium/Salt from the mexican place? I dont know, just grasping at straws here to see what I am doing.
Going to try and add some foods that Radar said. Money/Time is what really determines what I can eat.
