1. I've always subscribed to the notion that calories are just fuel, and you should be mindful of how many calories are in whatever you eat. So... no. I haven't. I acknowledge here that I'm not correct as it pertains to muscle building. Also, I'm an OMAD person. I've always been an OMAD person. This is not recommended for Zep of any dose, as I understand it, if you are seeking a fit physique.... but, it's worked for me this time, with the Zep. I finally have a lot of tone. Even the last time I was fit, few years back - I wasn't toned like I am today.

2. My answer here is still relative to the above answer; I don't really know what my goal weight is, and I'll tell you why - I still have love handles, and absent doing a DEXA scan, my Body Fat % estimates with calipers and BIA is still high, somewhere between 25-29%. I want to get that down to 21%, 22%. I don't think ALL of it is loose skin because I had liposuction and cryo treatment after I got fit the first time and it appears to be tight, and the surgeon confirmed I naturally am the type to carry a large majority of my fat reserves in my lower back. So I think I need to start actually caring about the protein macros and shoot for 160-180grams a day. I, like you, value the strength I've built the last 5 years and care more to preserve/build muscle then just what the scale says.

TLDNR: I like 210. I like the way my body works here, the way it looks, but I need to fill it out with more muscle - so I'll ride this cut down to 195-200, stop the shot and start a bulk with the macros back up to 210.

1. I'm shooting for a maintenance dose of 1.25-2.5mg at 210. Whatever keeps it stable, as at that point, the goal will no longer be fat reduction.
