Sooo

Ive been fairly stable at this weight. I think I can conclude that living the way I am living my maintenance level is those roughly 4500 kcalories.

Im going to drop to 4000 right away. If you dont like it, sue me, this is intuition.

Ill start by taking down the carbs to make it 4000 calories. when another reduction is needed I will lower those high ass proteins, but its so hard because most of that comes in "units" that are hard to reduce. Ill just have to make the effort and cut up and weigh pieces of chicken.

Any thoughts anybody?

(other than that my protein is mad high, but ill get to that later on. its a waste, but a problem, is it?)

how long have you been maintaining at those calorie levels?

since your diet seems to regimented you might benefit from a multivitamin or 2 to make sure your getting everything.

[raniali]

actually i dont see a problem with ur protein. you are running higher than most people, but i have found for me, i work and train better with higher amounts. BCC and a few others have also posted similar sentiments. if you start leaning out at 4000, i dont think you need to make any changes. as long is your diet works, don't fix it.

I take a whole array of micronutrient supplements, just didnt mention them.

I was not planning to change anything to a working diet.
However if my weight balances out at 4000 kcals, protein will be the first thing to reduce.
