YOU CAN DO IT! GREAT JOB!

Exactly to what cheshire said! Whey is quickly absorbed through the body. Which is key for post workout. Something that is too slowly digested in the body is $$ wasted! Its like ordering a 12 oz steak but only eating 1oz at a time. And why not white rice? Because white rice is nothing but brown rice that has been stripped of its nutrients and minerals. You get no absolutely no fiber. Same as white pastas and breads. White foods such as these are absorbed so quickly in the body, you are hungry again in an hour.

It is recommended that you multiply your weight by .9 to 1.1% to get an idea of how many grams of whey protein your body needs. On your days off, I still recommend you eat about the same amount of protein. On "off" days your body is in a recovery mode, and thrives on protein. Once you get to your goal weight and then decide to add muscle, just load up on healthy carbs! Brown rice, wild rice, protein.. Im sure you already know this.. Good luck!

Amazing! Don't let anything hold you back!

The last 10 pounds are definitely the hardest. I looked over your food journal, I think I have some ideas for you. I see that you are eating high fat, low carb -- this is good, but not for long term. Your body has reached a plateau, you need to trick it. So what you should do.. Example Week 1 Monday through Friday -- eat low carb and high fats(no salad dressings, and no fruits) the only carb you should eat are from rice cakes and this is only if you've worked out that day. Fats should come from olive and coconut oils, chicken legs thighs or breasts, skim cheese, etc. Then on sat and sun -- eat moderate fats with moderate carbs. Moderate carbs meaning one serving of low carb fruit like berries, and a serving of brown rice. During this time stick to leaner meats like fish and chicken breasts, etc. Then for week 2 and 3.. Mon-Tue -- again, low carb / high fat Wed -- Moderate carb / moderate fat Thur-Sat -- Low carb / high fat Sunday -- high carb / low fat During this day, steam your veggies, eat 1-2 servings of fruit, 1 serving of brown rice with lunch, and one serving of yams or sweet potato with dinner. Another thing you should try is eating more protein. Especially during this 3 week period, you need .8-1.1% of your body weight. So aim for at least 130g per day. Also, stay away from prepacked foods. Like granola, sausage patties etc. Make your own patties with ground chicken, Italian seasoning, and cinnamon! Yum!

Stop with the protein bars and any other granola bars. No more cereals either! This helped me.. I also "carb cycled". Doing that now to lost my last few pounds and its working.

Look into a machine called "yonana" its about $50. I usually make my own "ice cream" with greek yogurt and berries blended. Then store small containers in the freezer.

I like using 6oz unsweetened almond milk and 2 oz water with a scoop of whey protein. Berries are fine, I sometimes add spinach and/or spirulina! I personally like optimum nutrition gold standard whey.
