Hey bro, I am same height and weight you are, coincidently. Many people may rebute my theories, but I am a firm believer that counting calories is over rated. Forget the calories and doctor your metabolism. I haven't worked out in a long, long time, and recently started back. When I did, I began eating clean. A.M.-6 whole eggs scrambled with lean red meat and a little oat meal. This meal remains the same, usually. Then I started with a regim of a chicken breast, cup of rice, and serving of vegies three times a day. Each week or two I increase the frequency and number of these meals. Now I eat twelve chicken breasts a day, half a truck load of rice, and a garden of vegies each day!!! I take less "vitamins" than any of my buddies in the gym, and make the best gains. I am holding at 240 pounds but my body fat dropped from over 20% to now just under 10%, all withing six weeks.
You can buy boxes of frozen chicken breasts from any meat market that are pre-seasoned. You throw them on the grill or the George Foreman frozen, and within ten minutes, you are good to go. What's more is that they taste much, much better than plain chicken breasts. A ten pound case is usually under $30.00
