I see so many conflicting sources of info out there. I have been trying to live by what I see on the JREF so often as: losing weight means calories out>calories in, but it doesn't seem to be that simple.
I was 125 pounds most of my life and 13 years ago a bad medical prescription jumped me to 340 pounds in just a few months. I got pretty serious about seeing critters out herping the desert southwest and before I knew it, as a side effect, I went down to 250 a few years ago.
At 250, I returned to my previous life of freestyle bmx and got down to about 225 pounds, size 48 waist
On the weeks that I could afford it, I was eating a LOT more, up to around 3500-4000 calories per day, and those weeks my waist size was going down but my weight staying the same or going up a bit.
I'm down to a size 32 waist now, but still have a big stomach and still weigh the same 225
I started trying to do the far less calories thing, but, though the weight doesn't go up, my waist gets bigger. I'm trying to stay at 1000 calories a day. I find myself riding as long, but not doing as much.
I read that I should replace my "bad" calories with protein so I got some of that protein powder stuff. According to those, I'm only supposed to get 150 calories worth a day from it, so I'm not sure what to do. I can't afford expensive food, especially not here in Hawaii, so I need smart, cheap stuff to eat and to know how much I can replace with the protein powder.
As fat as my stomach is and as heavy as I am, I've never been anywhere NEAR this strong in my life. I quit smoking and have more endurance than ever and my muscles are gigantic compared to what I'm used to and I can fling my bike around like it was made out of balsa wood. I don't want to lose this muscle, just the fat. In freestyle BMX, your knees don't care how big your waist is, only how much you weigh, and I don't like this disgusting giant stomach either.
What can/should I do?
