Hi guys, hopefully my post doesn't sound like I'm a total idiot, but I'm starting to think my protein intake is making me hold onto my weight and also look bulky. I'm not gaining weight, but I'm not losing weight either, which is what I want. My daily protein/carb/fat intake looks like 45/30/25 (something like that...
Anyway, lots of protein. But I'm thinking if I lower the protein and up the carbs [complex carbs most always], then I REEEALLY won't lose the weight! The goal here is to lose 15lbs and I've been 163 for MONTHS. My calorie intake since I started NROL (for the past week) has been 1600-1700. Prior to that, around 2000 a day. (i'm in stage 1 of NROL, and prior to that, weights 4 days a week, karate 3 days a week, spin 1 day a week, and a boot camp class at the gym once a week). I just can't seem to figure out this eating thing, and wonder if the amount of protein I eat may be screwing me up. All I ever find on the Internet is conflicting info... protein helps you lose weight/gain weight, etc... i'm so confused about it that i could SCREAM!! Thoughts? Anyone??? Please??!! HELP!!
