I gained a little water weight yesterday, not too worried about it.
I have been slipping though. Yesterday was not compliant at all. but oh well, Ill keep on chugging.
would like to get my waist down to 31.5 by end of next week.
Today I get to have crawfish for lunch, one last time this year.

I'm going to try this for the rest of this week and next week. Glad I have a bunch of deer in the freezer!
Calories been low. I was starving this am at the gym.

down another .6 to 182.0.
Not feeling very excited about lifting at lunch...hopefully this protein shake will give me some energy and I can get another caffeine boost from my pre-workout.
Energy is just zapped

Okay, folks, I'm gonna lay this out and hopefully you can tell me what I'm doing right, wrong, and make some suggestions.
I'm 34, 5' 10", and this morning I weighed in at 170.0. I'm an electrical contractor so I'm fairly active at work.
At the beginning of May, I was 180+. I started going to the gym but it's not something I can make on a regular schedule. Sho I got serious about my diet.
For the past few weeks, my daily diet has been this:
Breakfast: small bowl of oats and honey cereal.
Morning snack: bottle of naked juice.
Lunch: 2 servings of smoked ham and Turkey wrapped in a slice of cheese. One serving of raw vegetables, usually broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower.
Afternoon snacks: 2 boiled eggs a couple of hours apart, around 2 and 4 o'clock.
Dinner: lots of grilled chicken, quinoa, brown rice, or some taco salad with small amounts of dressing. Things along those lines.
I've also substantially increased the amount of water I drink. I'm easily going over 100 oz a day.
I've lost 10+ lbs since the beginning of May. I'm down from a 34" waist to 32". What I'm worried about is whether I'm doing more harm than good. Is that enough protein to keep from losing muscle?

If you are trying to go based on the RFL diet the OP posted and took a look at the PDF doc that outlines what you can eat I'll bold the items that are not considered acceptable on this particular diet:
For this RFL diet, it forces you to eat protein at almost every meal, so you wouldn't lose muscle if any. But the way you are going about your own diet and losing weight seems to be working fine.

Dinner: lots of grilled chicken, quinoa, if this is starchy then no, brown rice, or some taco salad, needs to be extremly lean red meat, 96% or greater with small amounts of dressing, needs to be calorie/fat free. Things along those lines.

-kill the cereal now
-careful with juice.. sugar sugar sugar
Other than that shouod be fine. You could add a protein shake if you are worried about protein
Depends if you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle

As the others said, it's not the RFL diet.
To be able to answer your own questions:
Get an app like My Fitness Pal, a scale, and track your calories/macros. Use this religiously for a week. After that decide if you want to continue tracking or not, but you will learn exactly the breakdowns and where you are making some false assumptions.
With this information it is easy to know how many total calories you are eating and how many grams of protein you are getting. You can tune it from there.

I'll also add that a scale to weigh out your portions can be helpful if you are new to very regimented diets. Lets you know exactly what you are consuming.
After a few weeks you can stop using it, if you feel more comfortable portioning....Though I tend to find myself using a scale more often than not.

Thanks for the comparisons to the diet in the thread. I'm not trying to adhere to a specific diet, just eating healthier and cut out bread specifically.
My wife just stocked up on cereal for me, so I'll probably finish that out and go a different route. Would oatmeal be better, or replacing it with the juice? The juices do have sugar, but none added. It's hat the natural sugars from the fruit. I was drinking the bolthouse(?) protein shakes but they had tons of added sugar.
My goal is to lose weight, I just want to make sure I'm losing the right weight!

I downloaded my fitness pal, and it suggested 2250 calories a day to lose 1 lb a week. I don't think I'm coming anywhere near that. I put in what I ate yesterday, and barely got to 1600. It didn't let me see protein, fat, or carbs.
It did put a note on the juice that I should stay under 84g of sugar a day.
As for the red meat, we usually get 93% lean. It's the 3% difference that was suggested really significant, or is it more about just avoiding stuff like the 80/20?
Again, thanks for the suggestions!

On the app if you are in the Diary go all the way to the bottom and click on Nutrition. You can see details there. I prefer to view this on a computer as you can easily see the breakdown for each individual item and totals. These numbers can be way off if you aren't tracking serving sizes correctly.

I don't think its going to make much of a difference if you are doing a different diet then whats listed on RFL.

Oats are better than cereal... but if you could egg whites would be so much better. Keep you full, high protein, no carbs, less calories
As far as the juice goes.. i dont do any, just too much sugar (even natural) but depends on how strict you want to be.
As far as protein shakes, get you a tub of whey and mix your own with water. Much better than the pre mixed ones without all the extra sugars. TONS of different brands out there. I have been using optimum nutrition gold standard for years because it mixes great and taste good. My goto flavor is chocolate peanutbutter. Taste like a dessert.
Def stop the cereal... man i am a cereal fanatic. I love cereal.. i would diet hard and could never seem to break the plateu until i stopped cereal... way too many carbs,sugars,calories. Now i will have a bowl as a cheat meal sometimes thats it.

If you are sure you are at 1600 i woupd up it to 1800... with lean meats/protein. You are likely gettinf too few calories and will go into starvation mode and store fat.
And if you want to see your macros go to bottom or my fitness pal app where you enter your food and click nutrition.. i would recommend 1.5-2lbs of protein per lb of your body weight
Posted on 6/14/17 at 2:45 pm to stuckintexas
myfitnesspal app is only good for tracking calories and macros. The recommended macros are crap. If you want the correct macros for you, go over to avatar nutrition and pay the $10/month.
but again as stated this isnt the thread for this. You will get better answers if you make your own thread kind of giving your stats, weight loss/fitness history, what training program you are on etc.
I will be more than happy to help if you do that.

Just finished up my last meal on day 3 of RFL. Chicken tenderloins marinated in a little Dales and then into the air fryer. Was pretty damn good! Tomorrow morning, I'll weigh in for the first time since Sunday. Feeling good so far. I've been eating very light breakfast, lunch (egg whites) and then "feasting" with my last 700 calories

My farts are some kinda stank. I think this support thread could be for the people around me.

Use that to your advantage. My son just plopped down next to me with a big ole bowl of Cinnamin Toast Crunch. If there's one thing I have a weakness for...
Might have to drop a protein "bomb" on him and run his arse out of here.
