thanks DrMax, all in trial and error and years of being in this game
BB, in your quest to cut and lose fat, you might want to progressively cut things out... start out with your condiments and such, and then eventually start taking them out, later eat your food bland, and then near the end start boiling your meats and so, watch your sodium intake, etc.
I believe if you diet like a bodybuilder getting ready for competition, you will learn so much through the process, and be more pleased with your results.
