Apparently i was suffering from constant hypoglycemia which was driving my cravings for chocolate and soda, making it even worse. I am also much more lean than i thought i was, i still considered myself a fattie at 175#s but it turns out i am at 8.5% body fat. We set the goal at 5-6% with improved muscle build up. So ill be losing 5 pounds of fat but hopefully gaining muscle. Lots of protein shakes and non processed food. I have a feeling im gonna be beastly for the next racing season schweet!!!
Don't expect to build muscle at 2100 cals a day. You need excess calories to build muscle. Instead of scale weight, focus on building muscle, more muscle burns more fat. Weight may go up since muscle is more dense. Eat to perform is a good site to check out http://eattoperform.com/ , also check out this article http://breakingmuscle.com/cycling/wh...ength-training
