After I finish healing then I can go back down to a high protein, high iron, albeit lower calorie diet.
Now eating that many calories may sound easy but since I can not go with empty or just bad calories it is a royal pain in the ass. In essence I can not just eat a few big macks per day and think I am doing OK since most of that is just fats and some carbs.
It is a lot more complex than that but above just makes it simple.

About 12 years ago I was into the whole fitness thing...and went from 135 lbs. to 185 lbs. of pure muscle in 8 months. My diet was a ton of egg whites, chicken, tuna, rice and beans...and pasta. What sucks now is I am not training with weights and it is getting tough getting below 185 lbs. now although I am playing handball a couple times a week...the wife likes to cook.
