Hi, Mike, thanks again for responding.

Perhaps I'm mixed up about what my goals are, lol. I know I want to continue to lose BF. The 21% is a very generous estimate. I may be more in the vicinity of 23%. I also very much want to lose some more abdominal fat.

And I'd like to get some control over this raging appetite of mine. I've tried all sorts of permutations, but seem to need at least 60-80 carbs a day (complex, low to moderate glycemic) for the lifting. I'm sure I'm taking in adequate protein. As for fats, yes, I have lowered them substantially now that I'm on maintenance. Perhaps too much--maybe that's why I'm always hungry.

Bottom line is I'd like to reach a balance in eating where I'm fueling my workouts appropriately but am not putting on weight as fat. That seems to be a fine line at my age, and I'm not sure there are any answers other than trial and error.

Any further input would be much appreciated!
