I'm digging it so far! Probably going to run it one more time to finish up my cut.

I think this goes to show that we still don't know how to 100% optimally set protein intakes. I mean here you're cutting on 200g protein, still hitting PRs, cutting without feeling of death (I assume?) etc. Sure now that you're in the 190's you're over 1g/lb but you've been cutting at 200g Pro for a while now so there must have been some point where you were below, no?

My protein has been 200g since I started working with Berto in January. I'm now 20lbs lighter and a whole lot stronger than I was when I was considerably heavier. 1g per lb of BW seems to be the sweet spot for me.

Weight

198.4 - New low. It's not a mind blower but I bested my previous low by .2 so I'll take it!

Conditioning

1 hour of TRX Training

Nutrition

195/201/35

Notes

- A new low has me feeling good! I think (hope) that my weight loss is going to be more linear now that I've gotten over that 199 hump. My previous "low" was a dehydrated and hungry 197.8 for my powerlifting meet.
- I've landed myself a second job at a private studio in downtown Sarasota, so between training at YouFit and teaching TRX/Circuit classes at night, my TDEE is about to get a big boost. I think the fact that I've essentially been sedentary for the past couple of months has really been slowing down my cut.

thats part of why i hate being a student in a town where all there is to do is party... back home i used to be able to go for a hike, go fishing, etc. something active without having to go far at all. now all i have to do is walk to wal mart (across the street) or sit on my computer. feelsbadman

B Nizz you werent lying.. Those sugar cookie pop tarts are on point.

**Bnizzle163** · 11-09-2011, 12:57 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive n' kickin!

Just haven't really felt like posting much lately. Down to 167.4 today (which ties a low the day before my refeed) with 4 more days until my next refeed... so looks like I'll eek out some more BF loss before I hop of this mini. Decided to finish out the week and then crank macros back up some. No exciting eats lately. Tried shiritake noodles for the first time yesterday. I wish I found those during prep lol. Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know I haven't quit! ha

Sorry for missing it... as I've been more MIA than anything on the forums...Trying to catch up. Curious why you felt a need for mini? I would think your pretty damn lean still at a 167

**Leprechauns1021** · 11-09-2011, 04:40 PM

I have those shiritaki noodles about 4-5x a week now..if they weren't expensive I'd have them more often lol. If you like pho, try this out:
Beef/chicken broth
Shiritaki noodles
Sliced beef
Green onions+bean sprouts+cilantro+lime+jalepeno+sriracha.

Awww yeah. Sometimes I omit the beef (or 99% turkey meatballs in my case) and just have a huge ass bowl for ~150cals.

do you just boil it all together like a typical soup or do you saute the noodles first like a lot of ppl do?

sorry for thread jack lol

I boil the noodles first. I prep the noodles by:

Draining the liquid in the package+running warm water to rinse them for a few minutes (while im prepping everything else). Then I parboil the noodles, drain them, then add it to the broth and warm it all up together.

I'm afraid to add the noodles straight..they smell/taste weird without the extra prep

No problem dude. That's why I come here - To be inspired (Paul, Berto, Brett, etc) and to inspire others.

It doesn't make sense. Never underestimate the power of the mind!
