Yeah, I need to get a body tape measure, and we've talked about getting some calipers (the BF is also working out, but waiting until our power rack comes before he starts NROL).
LD, the book is "The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition" by Anita Bean. It's British but there isn't much in there that is different or foreign (she does mention kilojoules but sticks to kcal).
I'm at about 1150 calories today so far and already had dinner. Maaaaaaaan. I had the oatmeal for breakfast, almonds for a snack, chicken breast + ww roll + salad for lunch, plum for a snack (small, I know), and a big bowl of chicken black bean soup for dinner. I told myself I'd strive for 2000 cals on my lifting days and today was a lifting day so I have 850 calories to go. *cry* I think I'll make myself a protein smoothie or something for my evening snack. I've already had 109g of protein today though...
... for someone with ~30% body fat and 150 pounds, how much protein should I be getting? If I go by body weight, 150g - but I assume my fat doesn't need protein, so shouldn't I be getting about 100g (since 100# of my body weight is non-fat)?
This whole "eating healthy" thing has really made it hard to get my calories in. Beer and pub fries and potato chips would be really helpful in this arena if they weren't so damn bad for me.
