here's the deal, i'm a 5'8", 177, 28 year old male. not trying to get down to 145 or anything so ambitious, but i would like to get down to about 160-165 give or take. problem is, i haven't been able to lose a pound (for more than a few days) in close to two months. on friday i'm probably 176 or so, 178 by monday. i know this means nothing without my exercise and food intake so:
run roughly 22-25 mi week (long run of 9-10, hill sprints, intervals, and an easy 6-7 miler); body weight type lifting (pullups, pushups, dips, core, weighted squats).
food: been following a paleo-ish type diet: breakfast-three eggs, a little 2% cheese, grapefruit; lunch-lean meat and vegetables; dinner-lean meat and veggies. generally a small snack mid afternoon of almonds, leftovers, etc. i do have some sort of guilty snack 4 days or so per week, half a cookie, skinny cow 100 cal ice cream, etc. weekends aren't quite as strict, usually one eat whatever meal, plus maybe 5-8 drinks spread over the weekend.
now i know exactly what i can take out of my diet to put it on point (booze, sweets, etc.), but given the amount of exercise i can't see it completely negating any ounce of weight gain. in the past when i was eating a similar diet and running about the same, i averaged 1-2 lb's per week and stayed around 166.
so there you have it. any ideas, discussion, thoughts, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
