Here are my results for the last 5 days of training.
I started out with: 97.4 kg
I am now at: 94.6 kg
I lost: 2.8 kg/6.16 lb
Ive been cutting on my diet drastically, and been eating only one meal a day with the occasional fruit during the day to keep my metabolism up high
What disturbs me are 2 things.
I took the test on my scale again 3 days ago and these were my results
96 kg bodyweight
26.7 % bodyfat
54.7 % water
34.6 % muscle
As you can see, these percentages dont add up to a hundred %, but to somewhat more.
I thought I had made a mistake when i added it up, but today i took the measurements again
94.6 kg bodyweight
26.1 % bodyfat
55.1 % water
34.8 % muscle
And as you see, once again, it doesnt match up.
I dont know what is wrong with the scale.
And my second concern is, that i have, according to the scale lost about 250 grams of muscle mass.
Im not sure how accurate that is, however i have felt a bit fatigued over the last 2 training days.
Im changing my diet plan now, and adding a proteinritch breakfast and dinner, to cut muscle loss and help build it on the other hand.
Im currently re-researching the ammount of protein i should take in daily. I heard it varied from 1.2-1.5 times the bodyweight.
meaning that id be taking in about 140 grams of protein in a day if possible.
Ill divide it between eggs and tunafish over the breakfast and dinner and have a small lunch(which is always protein rich)
Also im using milk instead of water now for my proteinshakes, as milk also contains a considerable ammount of protein.
Well thats it for now.
See you all later.

Danny,
You really need to spread out your calories over the course of the day. You are causing a dramtic spike in your insulin by eating only once and slowing down your metobolism the rest of the day. You may lose weight but it is going to be muscle weight not fat weight. Do some more research on the diet.
see Tom Venuto - Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle for good information in this regard.
Best of luck.
Followoing your last post, i read basically all on Tom's website and suscribed to the 12 step program thing. I'd buy the ebook, however money is a touchy subject at the moment.
Actually, tom's website made me check my results.
Im ok with my results, as i have bodyfat as well. However im not up to sacrificing my muscle for fat loss, even if its 1/3rd.
Ill take this as a learning experience, for all its worth, and will change it up.
Im working on a way to increase my protein intake and spread it out over the day.
Thanks for the advice, larry, im working on it.
Danny,
I agree with Larry, to build up lost muscle is not easy , keep as much as possible, it is the calorie-burner in your metabolism. The book is a good investment for your shredding-future,
Enjoy your weekend,
;-)

Danny, don't try and make it too complicated! Even TomV agrees that it is as simple as caloric deficit. Personally after some research, I'm not convinced that the standard eating of 6 meals a day at regular intervals is the ultimate way to achieve fatloss while maintaining LBM. Metabolism is based around LBM and if you can maintain LBM your metabolism won't drop significantly in a week of low calorie eating. Be your own judge on how eating one meal a day works and don't get too caught up in daily changes. A day (or a week for that matter) is not enough time for any type of eating/training to have a significant effect.
Im trying to get a hang of this now. I know that eating one meal a day and very little, deffinetely fatigued me, over the week.
I have the system all worked out now, and have created a caloric defecit without a doubt.
I'll see how this works.
If there is a change, I can learn from It, and if positive, keep applying it.
by the way mike, the way ive been eating and exerciseing, i was losing about 1 pound a day or a bit more, which would be great, if it wasnt for the muscle loss as well...
