* My body weight has increased slightly over three weeks. My day to day weight can vary by several pounds which make accurate readings tough, but I would estimate I am about 1 pound heavier.
* The biggest surprise is that my body fat has decreased rather than increased. I am seeing this decrease using skin fold calipers, the mirror and the 'jeans fit' methods ;}
* I suspect my calorie intake for the rest of the day has decreased somewhat as my appetite has lowered. Following [[Book Review - The end of overeating|'the end of overeating']] has helped curb my excessive intake.
* Protein intake has gone from about 160-200 grams (2.5g/Kg-3.2g/Kg) to about 300 grams (4.8g/Kg) on training days. This is higher than the highest recommendations for protein intake. However, as a percentage of calories, this is probably somewhat reasonable (300 grams is 1200 calories, with a 4000 calorie diet is 30%).
