lost dog, thanks for the reply.
you are correct:not enough calories early on. loads of protein though(about 350g/day)-although not enough at the time, my weight spanned from 302 down to 259.
definitely no where near enough carbs, and i was scared s#@tless of eating fat.
i think weight was heavy enough, but i do recall a very slow, i mean slow(almost unrecognizable) decline in how much i could lift.
from week to week i would see no increase in weight used, and sometimes a decrease.
i attribute that to two things: 1)not eating properly(fear of gaining weight)-didn't understand weight loss vs. fat loss. 2)un-centered mentally and spiritually-couldn't get my head in the game-i assume that's due to not eating properly.

re:fat loss/eca-yes, i am still interested in fat loss, but am now geared towards increased muscle size. learned that if i watch my diet, fat loss will happen automatic with muscular increase. hope i'm right about that. zca stack is more of a get-me-up, i start working out at 4:30 sharp every day 'cept sunday. m-w-f weights 1 hour, t-th cardio 25 minutes, therefore, more often than not-i sometimes need my "jet fuel" for take-off.
as far as ratios and macros, i can't even try to lie, i have no earthly idea what they were. my guesstimation would be what i have now is about (60:30:10-pro/carb/fat)-disclaimer:guesstimation! i think i'm pretty accurate on that though.

i like the idea of straight creatine instead of "kool-aid"-any suggestions on which to use?

N2O-yup, i agree. i have used different ones a few times....and.....nothing. won't be using N2O again.

flaxseed oil because i KNOW i don't get enough essentiall fatty acids, although i love the crap out of tuna and have since replaced my 3 oclock protein with tuna and crackers-almost exclusively. i wasn't worried about omega-3's because of the amount of tuna and the cyclical daily consumption of said tuna.
by the way-2 days out of the week we eat fish dinner with long grain wild, veggies, etc.-did i mention i haven't met a fish i could not eat, save carp? i love fish! i'm pretty sure omega-3's are the only non-issue i may have.

glucosamine-yeah i had oschlager's(spelling?), and as a result, popped my knee out 9 times since. i haven't had issues for 5 years. joint pain sometimes, again due to previous mal-nutrition?

hopefully i have expanded enough to make my picture a bit more clear. any input is GREATLY appreciated. thanks again lost dog.
