Yikes, hard to picture what your schedule is like w/everything jumbled. Perhaps lay out your outline for meals and activity through the week for constructive criticism?

Also, losing 35 lbs. and not caring if it's fat/muscle, then "gaining the muscle back later" is not a very smart approach. Heck, what's to say you can gain the muscle back? How do you go about doing that w/out gaining the fat back? If you somehow know how to do this (there is no one method) then surely you know how to lose the fat w/out the muscle, right?

alright .. so im off school atm .. but during school i'll have school during the week .. from 5-7 mon-thur i'll have kickboxin class .. then the gym at 9 on mon/tue/thr/fri(thinking of cutting it to just 3 days aweek) i'll also have work fri/sat/sun i think im going to have to have 2-3 protein shakes a day ~50g pro/10car/14(from udo oil) fat each .. breakfest will consist of eggs / ham/ bacon / oatmeal, lunch will be perhaps some tuna or chicken .. should i carb up after my kickboxin ? before my workouts ? then post workout i'll be having the shake with carbs - the oil .. then an hour later a dinner like meal .. hows doing the cardio at nite affect my eating .. ideally i would like to keep my muscle and just get rid of my fat .. should i also do some morning cardio .. is skipping a good alternative to having to drive to the gym to cycle ?
