PROTEIN INTAKE. TAKE LESS GAIN WEIGHT TAKE MORE LOSS.
I have a weird body or maybe I am not the only one. Well I notice when my protein intake is down I start gain weight. But when I increase it I lose weight and notice muscle definition. Well I hate that because I can have low intake for a week and notice weight come in my midsection. Does anyone experience this? These gets on my nerves because I have to have almost 190 grams a day but if I am running a lot I need more then that. Check this that crap gets on my nerves. My friends even notice it. They will say you look leaner this week I could not figure it out but I did eventually. Those weeks my protein intake was higher. I have to keep up with this protein intake. Also buying all the protein can be expensive. I go through so much of it. I am going to have to prepare for a 60 day training routine and I am going to have to buy a lot of protein. If I do not I will screw up the training. this gets on my nerves. Does anybody else have this problem? I have to take at least 3 drinks a day. I do not eat much meat so that is another issue. I am at my end wits. I am busy starting a business so sometimes I miss days and I can notice it. Please Please help any advice. This is crazy.

Yup! I used to think protein would make me fat! I think a lot of people believe that myth. But I get the same effect. And yes, it is SOOOO hard to eat enough protein!!!

I boil a bunch of eggs and keep a baggy full at work and at home. I snack on egg whites, little blocks of cheddar cheese and cashews. My lunch and dinner is usually a protein entree and lots of dark sauteed greens with coconut oil. I also squeeze in a shake during work and shakes pre/ post workout in the evening. note! If you leave boiled eggs out a little while to get to room temp before boiling, the eggs won’t crack too!

Yeah it is getting on my nerves but I have to do what I have to do.

That’s puzzling! When you eat less protein, do you replace it by eating more of the carbs and fats? This, I guess, would be an explanation for the weight increase. It happens to me, actually, I will get hungry and go for the cookies
