Day 1. 177.5 lbs, 34" waist
Ill probably only update weekly or biweekly to not overflood the thread.
My plan is to go to the grocery every 3 days and keep it super simple: 3lbs of lean meat (chicken, shellfish, fish, ham steak) and 3-5lbs of low carb vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower), which will work out to about 800 cals per day for 3 days. Ive got a four day "trial period" with a quick refeed Saturday before two back-to-back 12 day blocks with a two day refeed in between.
Some previous comments are taking in more calories and protein than ive been recommended. Most sources call for 1.2-1.5g of protein per KILOGRAM of ideal weight, which works out to only 100g of protein for me. After bulking a few months, if I choose to run it again Ill likely have more lean mass to save and will take in more protein.
Lastly finding the ephedrine for the EC stack wasa pain in the ass. The FDA is a joke (just look at the food pyramid). The only way to get pure epedrine is to buy from Canada. Here is the easy way (at least for FL). They sell Primatene tabs OTC but you have to go to the pharmacy so they can regulate how much you buy. Just pop two of those with 200mg of caffeine and you're set.
My Jan 31st guess is 160lbs and 31.5" waist (some if that being water). Wish me luck, shit is gonna suck.
Highest amount of protein is for weight trainers in category 1 (sub 15% body fat). They are to eat 2x grams of protein per pound of LBM. That number decreases the higher your body fat percentage is and if you're not weight lifting (if you're aerobic training or inactive). But given that it's silly to do this and not weight train (in order to keep your muscle), most people will be weight training and thus their grams of protein will be determined just be their initial body fat % (categories 1, 2 or 3).
Good luck.
