How its going

ok, im losing weight (about 4 pounds) but this is not what i wanted.  I realize im losing fat, but im not increasing muscle probably because im doing cardio exercise and not consuming enough calories.  i should also increase my protein intake.  im not consuming the 2.2 grams of protein for every pound of weight (210*2.2=462)  i dont think thats right, but im only consuming 80--100 a day and that needs to increase.  Ive noticed that skinless chicken strips are a great sou...

tomorrow is the end of my 3rd week mark and i will be weighing in. i dont expect much weight loss nor do i want that--my aim has been to replace fat weight with muscle weight.  As a matter of fact, im hoping to increase my weight by about 5 pounds (which im guessing is replacing another 5 pounds of fat with 10pounds of muscle).  I think i would be satisfied to be down to about 15% body fat and a weight of 210.  I use to weigh 210--215 but it was about 20-25 pounds of fat which was...

so i just completed my first week of recorded diet and workouts on this site, and i have to say its been time consuming!  Now that i have the hang of it, things should get easier.  I've noticed that the choice meal plans offer some good clues as to what sorts of things i could incorporate into my diet, but for now i've pretty much just put the usual things i eat there to see how many calories i've been eating.  i'm surprised that i'm not even eating 2000 calories a day; subtractin...
