    burn extra calories a day with these activities:
    • burn 25% more calories a day just by eating breakfast (ie 1200 x 25% means 312 extra calories burned for me)

    • burn 82 calories doing 10 minutes of pushups
    • burn 102 calories running at 6.0mph for 10 minutes
    • burn 80 calories with 60 minutes of hot sex
    • burn 390 calories in a 45 minute step class
    • 20 minutes of tai chi burns 82 calories
    • 20 minutes of treadmill walking at 4mph and 15% incline (my favorite!!!) burns 249 calories

    I come home around that time from the gym, maybe 10/11 pm - I take my pwo shake ~15mins after lifting, and a carb-pro meal (rice, chicken, broccoli) ~ 1hr later- and sleep like 20-30mins after that. Depends on the night and mood on when I crash.

    As long as your in overall hypocaloric deficit as compared to your maintenence calories - then there's no problem. Especially carbs are important after your pwo meal on training days to aid reocovery. Depends on how your ratios (i.e. 50 C / 40 P / 20 F or 40 / 40 / 20 - just examples) are too - Just make sure your carb meals are carb-protein and NOT carb-fat

    This is bullshit and you don't need to go Low carb to lose weight. There is no metabolic advantage to being in ketosis.

    Again there is nothign wrong with carbs before bed. They will not make you fat if you are hypo caloric. The diet looks pretty good but no macro breakdown and no total cals.

    Basically you just need to come up with the amount in grams of Protein/Carbs/Fat that you eat at each meal. Websites like calorieking.com and fitday.com shoudl help this out.

    2144cals 45g fat 104g carb 320g pro

    as above i am 242 lb, 5 10 and i want to get down to 220, 215.
    The harris benedict eq says that my BMR is 2292.66. It also says my total daily cal needs is 3140 to maintain so 3140 - 600 = 2540 for cutting/sheding lard!!
    I I need more cals its probably just 1 more meal any comments will be much apriecyated.

    Your approach is decent. But you need to remember a few things. Don't eat protein by itself for one. Also you need about 3,100 cals to maintain. That right about what you should be eating per day. Don't let your diet make the calorie deficit. Use weight training and cradio to do this for you. If you eat only 2,100 cals as you have listed above, that means you are already 1,000 cals below maitenance, and then probably 1,500 after weights and cardio. You will stall out on this diet in less than two weeks. You need to be getting at least 3,100 cals from the start and then you need to gradually taper down as you lose weight. You also need EFA's in your diet. In the form of Fish Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Natty Peanut Butter, Almonds etc... This will also help you lose weight.

    I was just about to start a thread about this. I usually get done with my workout anywhere from 1115-12. I was planning on a PWO shake and I was contemplating a little oatmeal

    Aim to eat at maitenance and let the workout do the rest. Weights and Cardio in the same day will most def take care of this. On non workout days just do cardio and decrease cals a bit thats all.

    If you are using milk, make it skim. And Cottage cheese is great before bed. Just have enough of it to meet your protein needs. There's about 13g of Pro per 4oz.
