I am having a harder time following my diet as of late. It is not so much an unwillingness to do so or urges to eat foods that are not normally allowed as much as it is simply a string of events that are making life a bit more chaotic.
Excuses are excuses. Get the job done. ETC. I like the diet plan thus far, and I feel that it is working well, but the statistics are no longer valid after so many unexpected changes occurred. In the end of it all, as long as I'm progressing towards a healthier new me, I should be happy. I like numbers, analysis, and figuring out how things work. I'm mostly just disappointed that the data is now flawed. I will have to do it over again from scratch if I want the results to be reasonably conclusive.
I will likely, for the sake of convenience, just try a simple calorie reduction instead of all this macro shuffling. I will likely still try to maintain 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of lean body mass, but beyond that it won't be so specific. Perhaps a 40%/30%/30% Protein/Carb/Fat combination? We'll see. Any plan should work as long as I stick to it and keep with it.

Eat below maintenance calories and you will lose weight.

Tweak and tinker until you find what works.

Calories in versus calories out is a pretty simple concept. I didn't explain this explicitly, but the basis of my entire weight loss thus far has been through a caloric deficit. I am currently attempting to lose fat while gaining muscle, which is the "holy grail" that many body builders would kill to have. I am attempting to do this via rotating calories and carbohydrates, increasing total intake to meet or slightly exceed maintenance on lifting days.
I just want to give myself the best chance to get the best of both worlds, but the logistics is too difficult to manage when I'm dealing with some of the random crap day to day. So I'm thinking of a simple deficit with, at most, an increase in calories on work out days.

I thought it was one gram of protein/kg of lean body mass. per pound gives you a whole lot of protein. Maybe it's just a different formula for body builders, but it sounds like a lot to me. ???

If you follow the nutritional order of importance you should do great. 1 (Most Important) – Calories, 2 – Macronutrients (Macros), 3 – Micronutrients, Fiber and Water, 4 – Everything Else. Dial you diet in based on those items in that order for whatever diet plan you choose.
