For you 'tards that are not financially astute or have problems tracking macronutrients, here a is a breakdown of the shake.
Ingredient, carbs, protein, fat, calories, cost in dollars.
Milk, 11 8 8 150 .25
Greek yogurt, 10 23 0 140 1.00
3 raw jumbo eggs, 0 24 18 270 .50
Whey powder, 7 30 3 170 1.00
Totals: 28 grams of carbs, 85 grams of protein, 29 grams of fat, 730 calories, $2.75.
I'm not endorsing this, just providing the info for the 'tards.
I generally buy premium ingredients, just like my shotguns and vehicles. You can probably lower the cost by 30% by using generic stuff.

Yeah it was probably like on the Reese’s commercial. The guy serving the bowl full of jelly bumped into the guy serving the bowl full of peanut butter and after they stopped blaming each orher for who got their item into the other item, they realized it was the best combination since sliced bread, and decided to put it on sliced bread

Cutting sucks even for people like you & me who technically are like the gods of dieting having damn near starved ourselves to death. Even when we thought we were "getting something out of it", we basically lost all other human capacities and took major hits that take years of repair. Then again, I could probly say the same thing about "bulking" for like 90% of the population. That's more of a "dirty bulk" situation. The only thing that doesn't suck is maintaining or slowly bulking. Both of these things, ironically enough, are probably the hardest things to do for most people.

Thanks, but I've still got a ways to go before I'm properly lean - just fortunately no longer properly fat. I imagine it gets a lot harder when you aren't already overweight and have plenty of reserve energy to work with (in college there were some times where I didn't have money and ran out of food and ended up getting pretty lean and being hungry often, but that was temporary).
The next challenge to exhibit discipline (where I have slipped up even since regularly posting here) is to be consistent with an actual moderation. I have a good feeling about it this time, as I've never taken it this slow and consistently until this stint.
Many thanks to several of you for pro tips on going about this intelligently!Bench: 345
Squat: 405
Deadlift: 505

Totally man… you and I have these paradoxical ‘survival’ genetics wherein a deficit triggers this motivational brain response that cascades until it nearly kills us without intervention…
Back in the day, we would have done quite well surviving on almost nothing in the wild… but in this day and age, only hurts us under the right circumstance.
Force feeding is, as you said, conversely miserable… some people get this crazy high from just stuffing themselves whereas, now outside the extreme hunger phase, feels like torture to folks like you and me."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"

You have been around a while mate. You would know those calculations arent always accurate. humans are open systems. I maintain weight on 2500, lose weight or gain with 500 each way from 2500. Some days I might do more at the gym or some other activity. Other days I might actually do less or pretty much absolutely nothing.
I am retired so think of me like an old man lol. You got a job yeah? so that alone has you burn a few hundred more calories per day than me. Yeah I bigger but as you would know 1lbs of muscle is like an extra 9 calories oxidized per day. Body weight now I think is ~225lbs.
Actually need to update my bench in bio to 170kg too. I forgot how to use this page.Alan Aragon, Brad Schoenfeld, Stu Phillips, Lyle McDonald. FTW.
Not a physique competitor but hope to compete in powerlifting next year. Max bench 1RM with pause 160kg. 352lbs.
Lift and learn.
