Yep. I'm following the calorie recommendations in Leigh's OPT plan. Just not doing the workout. The macros are hard to hit. I can do higher carb or lower carb. The middle of the road crap is hard to manage. I don't cook that way. It's tough.
About 5lbs down from the start.

5lbs is good. You weren't fat to begin with (fatter than you'd like, but not carnival\point and laugh fat). How long have you been in on it?
Stupid portion control  . What kind of calorie range are you looking at? I don't recall Leigh's stuff really calorie cycling a great deal? |

I"m two and a half in. Cycling happens, but it only changes macros and deficit percentage every few weeks.
The formula/activity levels are in FLTS, but I'm following the suggested ratios, deficit, and cycle periods that are in the OPT program. OPT is 12 weeks long, with ups/downs and a break at the end.

Corollary to Murphy's law of "anything that can go wrong, will." If you do something stupid on the interwebs, stupid HowdyDoodie boy will find you and pwn you.

Why aren't you doing the OPT workouts?
Maybe your workouts are too strenuous for the calorie restriction ...

I don't have a swiss ball.
I'm not giving her the satisfaction.
OPT is for chicks!
Anyhow, I think my workouts are less strenuous. Look.
A1, Alt DB Bench, 65 (8/8/8)
A2, DB Row, 85 (8/8/8)
A3, Bench Pistols, +1 plate (11/11/11) - the last set was sorta ugly
B1, Goblet Squat, 105 (6/6/6)
B2, Flexed Arm Bent Knee Raise (6/6/6/6)
B3, Lying Ext Rotation, 10 (12/12/10)
B4, EZ Bar Curl, 60 (12/12)
See?

You think I'm impressed by all those bench pistols! I sort of am, but I kind of do those every time I get off my ass. |

For real. My "ups" are still just the chin variety.

Meh. His lean legs give him an advantage. Try chinups with my tree trunks dragging you down.
