As for the complexes, I take some from the NROL, which is a great read, and some from some of the articles Cosgrove has posted on websites. If I'm doing the complete complex without putting the bar down, then I'm using 75#s and reps up to 10 and trying to get through 4 sets.
As for my diet, I haven't really calculated the total calories so I'm probably a little premature on my question. I know I'm not hitting the 40% for protein so that helps as a starting point.
And I'm working hard to get vegetables in now. It's big adjustment for me. I've got a lot of bad habits to correct.

In short you have far to many variables here.
1-Those scales, no matter what kind of a trend you track, just aren't correct period. They are based more on hydration levels and will never give you anything close to a correct trend or measurement.
2-Calculate your intake as accurately as possible. If you come to a point to where you are really not having results then your calculation of intake not being an issue really eliminates a lot of problems and questions.
3-Weight loss can be had on a generally balanced diet. Not losing muscle tissue with aggressive training and trying to just lose fat is another story. Up your protein intake, get more diverse foods in general.
Re-access, hit at it with more focus and good luck this time around.
