    Breakfast: Typically 4-5 egg whites scrambled with 1 or 2 yolks, skim milk, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms and occasionally a piece of bacon.

    Lunch: chicken breast on a salad or a 6" sub on wheat, with turkey or ham, no dressing, swiss cheese. ~ 500 calories

    Dinner: Grilled chicken or fish 5-6 times a week with broccoli, salad, asparagus, spinach mostly. Occasionally I'll do soup with a few rice noodles. Approx once a week, I'll eat some sort of beef. If it is ground, I cook it and drain the excess fat off.

    Snack: Typically Spanish peanuts.

    No cokes, no tea. I drink mostly water with a few cups of coffee, mostly black, occasionally I put skim milk in, and on occasion I enjoy some vanilla creme, maybe once every 3 days or so.

    I have done the 6 meals a day sometimes when I have the time to plan it properly (350 calories). Right now my grill is kaput. So it is more difficult. When my grill is working I grill a batch of chicken and eat it for a week. It is easier to do 6 meals that way.

    Workout routine is non-existant besides doing yard work and home repairs. I'm a former HS and college bballer. Having trouble getting motivated to do any exercise. 1. Don't want to injure my knees, they hurt, and I still feel too heavy to be doing a lot of stress to them. I am naturally stocky built, when I am lean, my body resembles a Kyle Lowry type, compact, with lots of spring, and power burst. Muscle tone has decreased with lack of resistance but I'm sure it would come back to some degree with resistance training and further definition would definitely increase with more fat loss.

    Main goal is to lose the gut completely. It is down very significantly. But I've still got the side handles that I want to firm up and finally get down to see my abs poking through if possible.
