Obviously overeating is out of the question, but how many calories below maintenance do you cut?
In the morning I feel pretty good (probably because of the coffee), but by afternoon I start feeling weak and have some trouble focusing at work.
Is this normal, or do you think it sounds like I'm not eating enough.
I weigh 170, and based on fat calipers (which I don't think my results are accurate) I am 9-13% body fat. Height: 5'6" or 5'7".
Here is an example of what I had yesterday for 2330 calories:
Food Calories Fat Carb Protein Fiber
flax oil 125 14 0 0
protein powder 130 2 4 23
protein powder 130 2 4 23
cereal and milk 150 1.5 24 2

mocha drink 180 3 33 7 0
myoplex shake 280 3 23 42 0
flax oil 125 14 0 0 0
salad dressing 110 9 7 0 0

ritz crackers 80 4.5 10 1 0
ritz crackers 80 4.5 10 1 0
2330 92.5 224 149 12
The ritz crackers were not part of the plan, but I was feeling weak last night and the carbs helped "wake me up."
Here is another day:
