Hello,
I started a “cutting” phase on Jan 4, 2009 in order to get my body back on track. I was at a pathetic 193 lbs with a 38.5 in waist. Over the past 7 weeks, I dropped my weight to 174 lbs (-19) and my waist to 34.5 (-4). I took a lot of advice from the articles and reading through the forums. Now, I need some more help with my diet in order to keep losing body fat. I feel like after losing close to 20 lbs I need to reevaluate everything in order to progress. I want to implement any advice starting after this week. Here is an overview of three days eating taken from my personal log. The numbers indicate the serving size unless it is written. Thanks.

The first day was the weekend and I missed my last meal of the day.
Also some strength gains:
Bench= 150x5 ~ 215x5
Deadlift = 110x5 ~ 190x5
Squat= 140x5 ~ 170x5 (I don’t squat as religiously as the other exercises)
Before and after pics are available but I don’t think they are necessary for the thread.
