Thanks everyone, and I'll try to address everyones questions but I'm sure I'll miss some.

Talo, I am running this as a modified ckd, so I carb up friday and saturday, although I havent been doing the depletion workout that I should on friday, so that needs to start next week.

Start Now, I agree that doing long cardio bouts can be detrimental to muscle mass. But I'm not doing any at the moment, and unfortunately for my muscle mass, I will need to do a lot. I need the endurance that only long duration cardio can give you right now.

Monsta, thanks for that info, I will adjust that to my specs and post what I come up with.

Dave, I think you are right, i'll try to bump up a little higher then what my numbers come out to after I use what monsta posted for a week or two. That should reset the "starvation" mode that I'm currently in.

How f'in crazy is it that 2300 cals a day is "starving" for me.

Thanks everyone for your input, i'll get my shit together and keep you posted on the results.
