reading suggestions?

You sound like you are in the exact same boat as I am - 230 wanting to get down to 180 or so.  I have read almost everyting out there and the problem is you need to find what works for you.  For example - I know people that the only way they will lose weight is if they plan out every meal in advance and therefore know exactly what is going into their body.  I also knew a guy who ate the exact same thing 6 days a week (oatmeal and protein in the morning - tuna at lunch - chicken at night) He was in great shape but would not budge from the menu.

I think a good place for you to start is a website called coreperformance.com - Sign up for the free 1 week trial and it will allow you to pick your goals (including weight loss) It will come up with a very basic nutrition plan for you based on a 40-30-30 plan.  I have found it is a good place to start and it also shows the number of calories you should be taking in for your goals and exercise level.   Try it and see what you think.

I just looked at your logs and your run and bike are about the same as mine- I notced that you put the calories afer your exercises.  The calories - especially for your biking - seem to be high.  I don' tknow where you are getting the numbrs from but you need to be careful about the accuracy of your calorie expenditures. A lot of people tend to over estimate the number burned as well as underestimate the amount they take in during the day. (  I just stop counting after I hit 1800 calories - however this does not seem to be working out well for me)
