Well you pee the protein you dont use. The thing about getting buff by eating your bodyweight per gram of protein so like lets say im 150 lbs i have to eat 1g of protein per pound or 1.5 is just a lie. It's just a statement to sell their supplements like protein shakes etc.

Well that's true you pee some of the protein out, but that is basically a "waste product"
Prior to that it was converted into sugar and the excess amino acids stimulate mTOR

I did not get the best news at the doctor today for my weigh in, I am at 188, I was at 184 so I put on 4 pounds :( So back to the diet again, now I need to lose 12 pounds.

Don't worry about that its really easy. You can't just back off the diet immediately. You have to ease out of it. Slowly and slowly go back to what you had done before but also exercise is important

Dude that could be mostly water weight due to all that sodium you get from the Jerky.

Never thought about that. The thing that bothers me is my waist line has increased a bit, a place I want sculpted.

That is what I will be doing. This diet and exercise thing can be frustrating especially when I expect results that don't happen. I am on this until it is perfected.

Cardio needs to be added as I am doing everything else at this point, if I want to lose more I will have to add in cardio. I am also thinking that the 3-4 pounds in gain may have been compounded by the heavier clothes I was wearing and I was also wearing my jewelry plus I was most likely retaining water due to all the Beef Jerky I was eating. So I am not too down on myself and the 4 pounds, taking what I said into consideration, it was more like 2 pounds I gained and that certainly could be due to muscle gain. I am going to start talking measurements to avoid this confusion.

even if you do cardio once or twice a week, you will definitely see results!

high sodium causes lots of water retention. A sign of consuming too mich sodium is headaches and high BP. As an athleat and an avid weightlifter,I'd suggest you forget about the scale and start monitoring how you look physically and adjust your diet and excersise accordingly,kind of like how the bodybuilders do it.

Yeah my weight can fluctuate 2-3 pounds easily based on sodium intake.

I am so sensitive to high sodium that I put hardly any salt in my food or cooking.my family thinks I'm sort of mental for hating salt.

Don't worry about that 12 lbs DLD you'll lose it in a snap! If you do weight training hit it up fast and intense, establish a caloric deficit and toss in some cardio for good measure! I have faith in you!

It's good, a certain amount but the amount that is in almost everything is crazy.
