So if I eat out, or eat any place other than home, I try to stay with in those parameters.
Doing that, following that, I dropped 6% bf with no diet change. I quit doing cardio because I thought I might start to burn muscle, even keeping my heart rate at 140 BPM.
I figure more intense work outs, and my heart rate while I work out stays normally ABOVE 140 for 45 mins to 90 minutes I'm at the gym.
I defiantly lost fat though, most of it when I added T-bol to my cycle for the last 8 weeks.
I've been off for 5 weeks, and I will have to start cardio again soon. The extra muscle is keeping the fat off right now though, so I'm still not doing cardio for fear of metabolizing any muscle, so I just eat the same, lift hard and try to get my regimen changing to maintain the muscle I've put on.
