I will also start a M/W/F/S circuit lifting routine again, but my main goal is simply to cut bodyfat since I believe I still have decent muscle mass (though I have obviously lost a good deal). I finally got around to looking at my diet and I'm pretty sure this is my main problem. Breakfast: 2 fried eggs on 2 slices of whole grain bread with 1 slice of american cheese Lunch: 1/4 loaf of Ecce Panis bread (small loafs, but still 2 servings) with 2 servings of boars head sliced buffalo chicken and 2 peices american cheese Dinner: 3 servings of penne pasta with sauce.
