I hope you're at least taking progress pics for yourself. One thing I regret is not taking before pics of how ridiculously skinny I was.

Yeah I am - ironically the biggest motivator for me to start doing something was realising how much of a fat f**k I'd become from looking at photos and wondering why I always looked fat haha.

a very rough calculation of my daily protein intake is

15g from tuna

81g from chicken breast

30-80 depending on what I eat for dinner

24g from whey powder

plus a small amount from my morning oats with a splash of milk. Assuming I'm eating a decent amount of meat for dinner, that brings me to around 200g, which is my 1g /lb of lean body mass.

I was eating cottage cheese / greek yogurt for dessert for a while, but I've been trying to keep my calories down.

On an unrelated note, managed to get bench, OHP, deadlift and squats in today, was quite pleased!

Throw in a scoop or a half scoop of protein to your oats in the mourning to help if needed.

I think the ham you buy from the deli in Woollies etc is probably semi processed, not that I can see it as a bad thing as long as nothing is added to it.

Only concerns I have with processed meat are unnecessary additives (salt, sugar, etc), and not really knowing what part of the animal (or God forbid, what animal at all) you're eating. lol.

Ham is a processed meat. Leg ham is less processed than say, the square blocks that are formed from scraps. but it is still processed. It has things added to it, thats what makes ham and bacon taste so different to a pork chop. so, not unnecessary addictives or it wouldnt be what it is, but the ones you don't like.

I'd like to think bacon is only smoked to hell, but that's probably not the case :(

Glad I'm not the only one; I could seriously live on cheese, dips and vegetable sticks.

Sometimes I think I might be addicted to cheese. I have looked into it and I know that milk contains the protein casein, which provokes similar effects to opiates when it's turned into cheese. When the casein molecules are digested, they break apart to release tiny opiate molecules, called casomorphins. The process of cheese-making removes water, lactose and whey proteins so that casein is more concentrated.

So maybe you can develop a cheese addiction?

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
