    To lessen the likelihood & severity of estrogen related side effects, as well as to lessen the danger / risk of heart attack or stroke due to high blood pressure, which most generally is also associated with high body fat.

    I found a great app for tracking what I eat. Over the last few days I have been 250-280 protine and 2800 - 3800 cal. I do 45 min on elipitical 5 day a week on top of lifting. I have not lost or gained a pound in 5 months. I am wearing it much different. Outside my three main meals I am getting a snack every 2 hours ie shake, nuts, Greek yogurt or soy beans. What should my intake be? I never drink soda or alcohol, only water sometimes milk or fresh oj

    Well it sounds like your on the right track honestly. If you weight is not changing on the scale, but your "wearing it differently" as you say, then that means you are loosing as much fat as you are putting on muscle.................if that makes sense.

    Are all your snacks and protein shakes in that 3800 cals? If not that's your problem. All your snacks protein shakes everything you eat needs to be add as a calorie intake. If your trying to cut your bf you need to figure out your bmr( basal metabolic rate) your dt( diet-induced calorie burn) and at( activity induced calorie burn). Figuring these out will tell you how's many calories you need everyday just to stay at your current weight. If you want to cut you need to adjust your diet to stay below this number and still excersizes to burn even more cals and drop weight faster.

    I don't believe he ever stated he had a problem. In fact he said he's making progress.

    Although i agree high bp can be an issue when cycling with higher bf its an absolute myth stating erse can be an issue. Almost all bbers amateur and pro suffer erse even at 6%-10% bf....
    Do not ask me for a source check.
