PenteKing’s BodyBlog

If anyone has read my previous post, you can probably discern that I use Fit Day to track my activities and diet. So here is what I’ve learned since July 24th (which is when I got diligent about the program). I eat (on average) about 1500 calories a day. During the past week (and this is rather typical), I averaged 13% fat intake; 43% carbs; and 37% protein. My weight is going down (sloooowly, but steadily), but I can’t complain about that because my bodyfat percentage is dropping like a stone in a lake (down another percentage point). As you can see from my photos, I have reduced bodyfat and increased muscle.

Now here’s the dilemma. I know I have to consume more protein than I have been, but how do I do it without significantly increasing the total caloric intake? I use protein supplements now (mainly Isopure), and even that doesn’t seem to be enough to keep my protein percentage consistently above the 40% mark. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Comments and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged.
