[quote=Anonymous]I was not looking to lose weight.  I was hoping to cut my body fat and increase muscle mass.  Didn't really care for the number on the scale.

I started a caloric deficit/fat cutting diet in March.  I paid very close attention to my macros and was on a diet of 1500 calories per day.  This is what I ate usually:

Pre-workout-  handful of raisins
Post-work out-  protein shake (I like Fairlife shakes)
Breakfast-  5 egg whites,  25g of oatmeal with some blueberries
Morning snack-  100g pineapple and some almonds
Lunch-  150g of protein (chicken, fish, turkey chili, etc) plus 60g rice, salad with any vegetables with only lemon juice as dressing
Afternoon snack- 60g frosted flakes and an apple
Dinner-  150g protein (chicken, fish, turkey, beef) plus 150g of any vegetable

I have gone from 124 lbs to 118 lbs so far.  My body fat has gone from 22% to 20%.  I am going to continue this diet until the end of May and then I'm going to alter it and go into "maintenance" mode.  That doesn't mean I am going to go crazy.  It just means I will increase my calories and still eat healthy.

I am weight training 4-5 days/week.  I am not doing any cardio exercises, but I do walk a lot (live in DC) for my errands, picking kids up from school, etc.
