Sounds like a good plan to me. Only to watch with the protien is no more the 30 grams a "meal" my dietitian and surgeon stress this since the body can only absorb 30 grams at a time so anything else is just pushed through the body.Man you guys are studs! I've had a hard time maintaining any consistency this winter. I get on a good roll and get a bug or company comes or life gets busy... I'm probably just making excuses but I am moving forward with this plan and goals.
Goals
1. Weigh 225 by Sept. 1st (I'm still down around 20 lbs. from a high point a year ago but have stalled) Current weight this morning 251
2. Maintain functional strength & increase mountain cardio
Plan
Diet - Limit calories to as close to 2k per day as possible with an emphasis on lean protein (1 gram per lb. of bodyweight)
Monday & Wednesday - 1 hour ruck with 50 lb. pack before work
Tuesday & Thursday - Lift and HIIT cardio before work
Fri, Sat, Sunday - Active rest (hiking, fishing, spend as much time in the mountains with my family as possible)

They actually dont want me much above 100 grams a day and im sitting right atound 215 and eatting 1200-1300 calories a dayGood to know... I'm still battling my meathead mentality of a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. Tough to make that adjustment.
Dang man!t25 between running my wife to the hospital for a colonscopy.
Another wind storm and another couple of days of no power, good thing there is a creek on my property for flushing toilets. Kind of hard to prep for a colonscopy with out water.
That's interesting. I've dropped my calories to 2030 per day and that's about as low as I can go and not want to strangle somebody! I cannot imagine 1200-1300. Why so few calories?They actually dont want me much above 100 grams a day and im sitting right atound 215 and eatting 1200-1300 calories a day
