If your numbers are correct, that means you put on 45 lbs of lean mass (135 to 180) in your 2 year period and kept precisely 45lbs of bodyfat from beginning to end. That's actually not bad, dude. Is this based on actual measurements or just guesstimates? Your goal would mean you'd have to keep precisely the same amount of LBM you have now. How far below maintenance is 2500kCal?

Not bad macros really.

[quote=shk101;2253140]"your probably eating way to many carbs with all the bread. You should track your macros with and see where your at. Hopefully your at least eating whole wheat bread? Are you lifting weights? What are your long term goals? You can get more protein out of tuna fish on a sandwich then lunch meat which is generally full of fillers..." I do eat whole wheat but I I also eat different kinds for a different...
