I like it a lot..my fav proteins all around are by Beverly International (UltraSize, MuscleProvider, and Ultimate Muscle Protein), but cost + availability curb my access to using these all the time.
ON's complexes are easily accessible to me, and I get a good deal on them. quality stuff.

on the wheybolic -- I would recommend 2 scoop-servings for you. 60g protein at one sitting is probably a bit much for you..

and as for dietary direction, click on this link and find the diet info included in this manual, some solid ideas to look at.

thanks for the link. With the wheybolic i usually only go with 1-2 scoops depending on if its a lifting day or not.

So I tried they shake with the casein, cottage cheese, and Natural PB and let me tell you that was fantastic tasting thanks for the directions.

The tuna cans I have are 2oz cans and they taste pretty good in the eggs. Not great but they are pretty good.

this is an awesome combo..

sometime, maybe try 5oz 96% lean beef, 2 whole eggs+3 whites, and 3/4 oats w/ small banana for breakfast. this is one of my favs.

that sounds good for breakfast may have to try that this weekend. my fiancee just picked up a tub of biorhythm whole gains protien for herself as its one of the few that do not contain soy. We shall see how that works for her I maybe trying that. Does anyone have experience with the biorhythm products?

couple things stand out to me Eddie..

over-reliance on powders/bars (need more whole foods)..

incorrect use of AP, specifically:
2:45 pm- 1 Anabolic Pump cap.
3:00 pm: 6 egg whites, 1/2 cup of vegetables (salads) (30 grams of protein) with 2 Prime capsules
and
10:45 am: 1 cap of Anabolic Pump
11:00 am: Salmon and 1/2 cup of vegetables

as well, caloric intake looks to be too low.

I would recommend more cals (@2000), increase the protein (@225-250g daily) and carbs (30% of total cal intake -- compound around training times, fibrous at others). drop the bars.
then, you can lower the daily caloric intake once weekly (by 50cals/day) and keep progressive fat-loss moving -- while retaining your muscle..

I love some casein protein blended with some CC. I have also found that Greek Yogurt has more protein and less carbs then regular yogurt as well as being much lower fat wise, although the taste takes some getting used to. Its a nice snack with a scoop of chocolate protein for an afternoon protein blitz. For breakfast getting some liquid egg whites is another excellent addition, although you have to get used to the texture.
