that being said, my diet is more like this now: 150+ g of protein, 400+ g carbs, 3000+ calories a day. my protein comes from chicken, tuna, beans, and whey. my carbs come from many sources and i try to include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats at least once in my daily meals. my knowledge of nutrition and dieting is pretty extensive and my advice has worked for many people; unfortunately, not for myself.
i'm going to try and stick to my guns, be patient, and become a more active member of this community. if i'm still not happy in about 6 months the idea will definitely be revisited. thanks a lot guys, i appreciate the advice.
