there ya go..I think I fixed it!

boy! That american whey protein powder really adds up! did you really have 4 oz of it/??

this should be the right one

two scoops is 2 oz and take in one shake in the morning and one after the gym so that adds up to 4 oz a day

If you are as active as your fitday profile says, then I wouldn't worry about it. It is showing you with a calorie deficit of over 1,000 calories.

If you want to cut calories a little bit, trying cutting your mayo, oil and pepperoni portions in half. I also notice you have 0 veggies listed, you should at least try to get your 3 cups minimum a day.

well right now im on light duty because of bells palsy its going away but the meds im on make me retain water ie. prednisone\
so im at a desk answering phones for the next three weeks
but i still go to the gym every afternoon monday through thu havent started the carb up or what ever im supposed to do yet gong to do that this weekend starting fri

also wouldnt the veggies count agaisnt me on the carbs i think ive got to many in now as it , is that right or wrong

Yes you count the veggies carb count. However, if you ate 2 cups of salad and 1 cup of brocolli it would probably add less than 10 carbs. If anything you should cut the whey protein and add veggies. Trust me, getting the veggies is A LOT more important.

so if i subbed the morning protien for a pack of frozen broccoli would this be sufficient to get what i need and is it still ok for all the cals on the light duty (sittin in a chair all day answering phone)

I'm finding this all a little confusing.

Rodney, are you following BFL with low-carb nutrition? If you are, read this thread.

http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...&threadid=29683

It's also really important with heavy training to get your body fat measured. Scales tell you nothing about body composition. THey can't distinguish between fat and muscle.

BFL has a "free" day, but there is no "carb up". CKD - cycylical ketogenic dieting - has a very specific way of carbing up. It's not a carb free for all.

Any low-carb plan includes vegetables as part of a healthy, balanced way to eat. Spread out the broccoli throughout the day. Don't have it all in one go.
