Great posts from both you guys, thanks.

Im not really trying to lose weight, im trying to stay at 210 or even gain a little if possible. Im a little over 6’2” and I have a little fat but not much, and people ALWAYS think I weigh less than I do. The only reason why im doing plyo is because it works you like nothing else ive ever done in my life and seems like a great overall workout. The 2 maybe 3 other workouts I do a week are non-cardio.

What kind of protein bars are you eating? 30 grams sounds really nice. I eat a decent amount of hotdogs and I was looking at the package yesterday and it said 5grams of protein…. I was like you got to shitting me. After I work out normally I drink some creatine and have a Premium Protein shake/drink which has 28 grams, so if I could double that without getting full with a protein bar that would be great. How does Amplified Whey Protein taste? I have EAS Premium Protein shake mix and I have a hard time getting myself to drink it, but it is vanilla flavored.

I did 2 months of p90x early/mid last year and was really happy with my results, but I hadn’t had a real work out in at least 10 years. Also something else that I will be adding to my workouts pretty soon is mowing the grass X style. I just bought a 80lb weight vest im going to start wearing once its time to mow the grass. I also use it if I cant get to my friends house to do free weights on Mondays. It makes pushups a little tougher.

Since I plan on working out today this I what ive eaten so far:
Breaksfast –Kashi hi protein cereal 1-2 cups @ 14grams per so about - 21 grams
Lunch – Chickfila Chicken Strips salad and ice cream cone - 43 grams

I will also have:
Cliff Bar – 11grams (I eat these because I thought this was as good as it gets with protein in a bar)
Probably some candy off of this girls desk at work – 0 grams
Chicken strips I cooked last night – 15 -20 grams
Whatever my friend’s mom cooks for dinner – 40 grams (???)
Protein shake – 28 grams

So that gives me about 160 grams of protein, and ill be eating a little more then I regularly do. I would have to have about 2 more protein shakes to get up to 210+. I just don’t see how I can do that.
