I have clamped down on my eating as of this week.

Breakfast and dinner are my 2 best meals. Breakfast egg whites and oatmeal Dinner chicken breast with steamed veggies

No worries Drew, I too am a lover of food (in terms of tastes). I actually work at a restaurant and am currently apprenticing to going into a culinary career. Fortunately, my taste buds haven't disappeared because of this thing

.

After I reach my strength/size goals, I'm going to eat normally once again (5-6 meals still, but normal wholesome foods). I'm simply temporarily sacrificing taste to achieve my goals much faster (say 1 year or less), rather then 2+ years.

In a weird way, I really enjoy it. Not necessarily the taste, but the experience of it all. I'm always open to trying new things, and this was one of the newer things that stuck with me

.

P.S. I'm getting really, REALLY sick of tuna and cottage cheese. Oats will be next on the list! Ironically, I had tuna and cottage cheese for lunch earlier today, lol.

so this week i finally weighed myself to get my starting point, 220 on the dot. and this was my first week of trying to really watch what i eat and when. still trying to figure out the best times for me to eat, and get used to eating that often (i used to go 2-3 big meals a day, with allot of pop, and snacks). i'm at around 4-5 meals a day now, the past few have actually been good, around 15% fat, 15% carbs and the rest as protien. still working on getting some fruits and veggies on the go... smoothies have been good for some of it.

my body has been kicking my ass though. i'm used to alllllllllot of sugar and cafine (no coffee, but energy drinks) daily, and now that it isnt getting that, headaches are coming on later in the day. i found Green Jolt though (i love the blue stuff) lotsa caffine, but no sugar or calories, so thats been my fix the past couple of days.

how can i figure out how many calories i should be eating though? my calorie count has been pretty low (i've many times eaten a greco party pizza in one sitting, i can consume massive calories) it's been around 1500-2000 a day, which to me is pretty low. but i've not been able to finish meals sometimes cause i'm too full!!! something isnt adding up for me, lol.

Try black coffee. I THINK coffee with nothing added is calorie free, and unlike Green Jolt, which I'm sure is loaded with all sorts of preservatives and chemicals, it's actually not bad for you.

i hate hate hate coffee

I'll stick to the green jolt for now... the little bit of bad stuff in Jolt is nothing compared to the amount i'm used to consuming

lmao, I drink coffee occasionally...like the night before I have an assignment due in and I want to go overboard with finishing touches, I don't sleep.

I've also started drinking it before I work out
