Like I was saying..

If you over do it, it stops being fun and starts being work.. Seems like the last 3 pages are proof.

Are you talking about masturbating or working out now?

Any simple, convenient meal suggestions? Should I eat before I lift? After I lift? Here's my average week day:

6:30AM : wake up
6:30AM - 7:30AM : shower, eat/drink breakfast, take care of dogs
7:30AM - 8:00AM : ride to work
8:00AM - 4:00PM : work (eat / drink lunch @ 12:00PM)
4:00PM - 4:30PM : ride to gym
4:30PM - 6:00PM : exercise
6:10PM - 8:50PM : school
8:50PM - 9:10PM : ride home
9:10PM - 10:30PM, 12:30AM, 2:30AM, ??? ... : homework, housework

I'm a total zombie in the morning. Waking up an hour earlier than I already do would be difficult in itself, let alone actually trying to exercise. And what counts as low intensity cardio? If I "walk briskly" for an hour after I wake up I will feel like I've just wasted an hour I could have spent sleeping.

When your a natural everything adds up and needs to add up to make any type of gains. Your body is pretty stubborn and usually resists change. Its kinda like riding on the track...you hang off, you brake a little later, gas a little earlier, put new gearing etc. etc. Then...when you add up all the shit you end up puttin around at a good clip. The same holds true about changing your body. You eat several times a day, you change your routine slightly you eat this here and that there and finally when it all comes together it works. And....you make it a habit.

There are alot of people that just "want to loose weight" and the only thing that changes is the portions. Well..if you were a big pear, guess what? You're now just a small pear waiting to be a big pear again. Makes little sense.

If you are not willing to put the time in to do it the "right" way you aren't going to change. Period. So just give up and be like the majority in this country and stay fat. I really do not know what more to say.

You first need more sleep and second you need to do morning cardio on the off lifting days. 60 minutes lifting is also good enough, you don't need 1.5 hours. Also, unless you are going for engineering, you shouldn't be doing 3 hours of homework every night. The hours before 12am are the ones that count and sleep is much more important.

Why is that? My mom tells me the same thing, but I pretty much ignore everything she says. 90% of her advice is based on Chinese folklore.

I usually get 8-10 hours of sleep but I am never in bed before 3am.

Because sunlight usually wakes people up.

How much water are you drinking? Your mouth will be dry as a bone with the extra fiber/protein.

And I don't know where you're getting your information that "most of the calories from meat is from fat"..........Sure, if you are buying bottom of the barrel, low-grade beef. But why would you buy that anyway, if you are even remotely interested in health?

My bag of chicken breasts in the freezer (with NO hormones, BTW):
Each ~4oz piece = 22 grams of protein, 0.5 grams of fat

Where do you buy hormone free chicken? And how do you know it's hormone free? By JUST the label telling you that?
