I was down another pound exactly this morning to 163.5 and down .4% body fat to 11.2% over last Monday. So far since Jan 5th I'm down about 6-7lbs and about 1.6-1.7% body fat.
I struggle with my eating on the weekends. It's not that I eat bad, I just honestly forget to eat period. I get busy working on the car and I'm one of those people that gets laser focused on things and just doesn't stop till I'm done. I've actually gotten to the point that I start to feel REAL crummy. When my gal's around it's not as bad as she reminds me or brings me some food out to the garage.
Yesterday went like this:
1 scoop ON Whey before Church
After Church:
2 egg beaters, 1/4 cup oats, 1tbsp ICBINBL, 2 turkey bacon, 2 cups coffee
Lunch
1 scoop ON Whey, 2tbsp peanut butter, 1 oz baked chips
Dinner
1 stuffed sole, 1 cup broccoli with butter spray, 1 cup instant rice, spinach salad
I drink about a gallon of water a day every day and take 2gr of flaxseed (pill), 1 vitamin, and 1.2gr of RYR daily.
Yesterday was just a 30 minute walk mild intensity.
I could start cutting back the liquor, but if I'm losing a pound a week already I'm not sure it matters? Local bodybuilder judge I've worked with says it really doesn't matter as long as it's not beer or mixed cocktails with sugar.
Today's workout went like this:
Chest/Biceps
Incline Hammer Strength Press 255 @ 5x5
Hammer Strength Bench Press 220 @ 5x5
Hammer Strength Decline Press 295 @ 5x5
EZ Curl Bar 100 @ 5x5
Alt dumb bell curls 40 @ 5x5
Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Curl Machine 100 @ 5x5
30 minutes cardio bike at low intensity (HR 125 - 130)
Today's food will go like this:
Pre-Workout - 1 scoop ON Whey
Post workout - 2 cups coffee :( (I'll fix this next week)
Lunch
1 can BB Lemon Pepper Tuna
10 Wheat Ritz
1oz Pretzels
1 cup instant rice
1 cup broccoli
Afternoon Snack
Apple
CarbMaster Yogurt
Before Dinner Snack
1 scoop ON Whey
1tbsp peanut butter
Dinner
1 bowl turkey chili
Spinach Salad
Maybe a slice of wheat bread with low fat cheese (thoughts?)

You are listening but you're not LISTENING. First of all EAT YOUR DAMN BREAKFAST. Having a scoop of protein powder is not breakfast, when they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day it's for a reason. Right off if you eat no less than 2 or 3 hours before bed and then sleep for 8 hours that is a 10-11 hr fast you are now in a catabolic state you need food. It gives your metabolism a kick in the butt and gets the nutrients and insulin levels back in check. your above lunch, you ruined a half decent lunch with ritz and pretzels, yeah I know they're weat ritz but READ THE INGREDIENTS and adding them upped the carbs so the proportions are way off. How is 1 scoop protein powder and a tbs peanut butter considered anything,again although "natural peanut butter" is healthy but it's high in fat so how is protein and fat a snack or meal. Swap your lunch and dinner have the turkey chili earlier, high carbs. Swap todays first two, coffe pre workout protein post workout, these suggestions are a lot better than what you're doing but still not even close. You workout hard and eat like s$$t it doesn't work that way. you say you don't want to add calories so how about getting rid of the empty cals and substituting them with cals from foods that support your goals
