I`m going to try this five small meals a day thing

Back when I paid attention to that shit (and when I eventually start paying attention again), I did the "eat a small meal every three hours" thing coupled with net calorie restriction. It was easier not to eat a whole cow by myself if I knew I was going to be eating again three short hours later, plus it supposedly keeps your metabolism going and helps you overcome plateaus. Working out every day or every other day meant I could eat more to meet a net calorie goal. I used an online calorie calculator so I didn't have to count them myself. All I had to do was enter the foods I ate and it kept track for me. I lost like 13 pounds that way (kept most of 'em off, too! lol), so when I'm ready, I'll definitely be going back to that. I just went through some major life changes, though, so decided to lay off of it for a while. Stress makes it really hard for me to stay disciplined.

Good luck!

Thanks. All I`m paying attention to for now is that fats be less than 10% of what I`m eating.

Is that such a great idea? I mean you could eat fruit all day with zero fat and still gain weight, and another day eat only fatty meat and lose weight. It all depends whether your calorie intake is under your requirements - doesn't matter whether it is fat, protein or carbohydrates, if you go over then you're gaining weight.

I don`t mind gaining muscle weight. In fact, that`s what`s been happening in the past month.
