Man that is lightweight, especially for not being short! I'm 6'3" 205.

Someone get Chris a Sammich:D

I'll have a double bacon burger with onions and jalapeños. Hold the cheese please.


Just a little info for yinz guys.
I have a very hard time gaining weight due the fact that my body doesnt produce the correct enzyme/bile to digest fats/protein properly. I have lipomas all over my body from years of not knowing how to eat to deal with my condition. If I use whey protein, or any dairy for that matter the lumps on my arms and legs swell up and start to hurt, and Ill start growing more at an alarming rate. They start to push on nerves and sometimes cut off circulation. 2 years ago I began taking Lecithin and a slew of enzymes and probiotics and it has helped immensely. Thats reason I use plant based protein powder with water. Dairy is my nemesis. Lol. The heaviest Ive ever been was 162, but I was damaging my liver and kidneys. Ive accepted the fact that Ill never get big so strong, lean & ripped it is! I stick to a pretty strict diet, but I still cheat and eat pizza once a week. :D

That's one hell of a challenge and struggle, Chris. My heart goes out to you friend.
Does Casein do the same thing to you as whey?

Keep your chin up man, we're all here for you bud....

I'm 5'11" 175lbs and appx 9% body fat...I've always been pretty skinny
I don't have any struggle like you do Chris, but I've never been much of a gainer, any gains I can sustain are fought for, tooth and nail

Thanks! It doesn't really bother me now that I know what is going on and can eat accordingly. In my younger years it sucked. Lol. Casein does the same. I gave myself kidney stones when taking whey & casein my last go-around in the gym. Processed and fried foods aren't easily digested either. My metabolism is high so if I eat wrong for a day or two in a row, I pay for it. Fish & chicken are my best bet with lots of veggies and low sugar intake.

Not much on this planet that I'd rather eat than venison backstrap!
It's pretty tasty but Elk back strap or Moose will probably beat it Mitch.

Started my cut about two weeks ago. 6'3'' down to 238lbs from 247lbs.
Wanna get down to 215-220 in the next 10 weeks, preferably without losing too much mass. I miss food already and i already hate the eliptical.

Are you doing steady state cardio?

I'm a pretty big fan of Hiit, seems to not burn of the muscle like long steady state cardio.

I'm down to 211 from 215, 6 more pounds to make weight by the 20th. I pulled about 450 calories and upped my fats, seems to be coming off about right. I'll adjust calories/carbs to speed up or slow down weight loss.
