There are generally 2 schools of thought regarding weight (fat) gain and maintaining lean mass. One is simply calries in shouldn't exceed your daily caloric requirement. The other is more about the types of foods you eat and their affect on your blood sugar levels. I personally believe in the blood sugar theory.

I suffered a significant back injury at the end of last summer (recurring due to a deteriorated L5 disk) and let myself and diet go down the drain. I started training hard and strictly dieting again a couple of weeks ago and so far the results are almost unbelievable. 3 weeks ago I was 188lbs and 18.9% BF. I've been eating like a diabetic (literally) and already dropped 7 lbs and am at 15.3%.

I have learned A LOT about nutrition over the last couple of years and everytime I think I know everything that I need to know, I learn something else. It's been a great experience on the forum here (and a couple of others), talking, reading and learning about nutrition.

I recently got my hands on a blood glucose meter and it has helped tremendously. Foods that I thought were OK to eat had a terrible effect on my blood sugar and I didn't realize this until I started with the meter.

For anyone who's cutting, I seriously recommed getting a meter to monitor your blood sugar. If anyone's interested, I'll start a log of my sugar levels and my progress toward 10% BF.

To everyone that has written, corresponded and helped with nutrition (and everything else)... THANK YOU!
 
Blood sugar is a type of diabetes and increase in number the passage of time. The main reasons for blood sugar is irrelative of daily routine activities, eating disorder, using unhealthy foods items. So people eat more without any taking information, take rest for a long time, Use junk, oily and unhealthy foods items. these are some way for high blood sugar.
 
I think that I've bottomed out in terms of BF, given my diet, work hours, etc... I'm currently at 11.2% and eating ~ 3000cal/day. keeping everything clean, no sugar and no carbs after 6:00PM. I'm doing next to no cardio either, but thinking about HIIT on the weekend morning's to drop another 1% or so.

I'm very happy with the results and I can see my abs for the first time in a LONG time. Beginning to pack on some more mass also, that should help in burning some additional BF.

Feeling lean & mean these days
 
No need for all that HIIT bs unless your trying to do this quickly... just add a 30min session of recombent bicycle 3x a week and the fat will role off ya. or if that's not for you... take 25g off your carb intake per day... works well too.
 
The blood sugar levels concentration or blood sugar level may be the quantity of glucose (sugar) contained in the blood of the human or animal. Normally in mammals, your body maintains the blood sugar level in a reference range from about 3.6 and 5.8 mm (mmol/L, i.e., millimoles/liter), or 64.8 and 104.4 mg/dL. The body naturally tightly regulates blood sugar levels as part of metabolic homeostasis.
