I'm using the body for life 12 week challenge / plan. I'm open to suggestions - the plan has helped me change my body composition, maintain regular exercize and better eating habits. I am trying to explore what to do next that will best compliment my cycling + fitness goals. I'm very interested in your suggestions.

gnat - I am very happy about my progress thus far! I'm still waiting for that pivot point to kick in where the extra muscle increases metabolism & my weight starts to drop I am now stronger & better able to push 160 lbs up hill, but i'd rather be pushing 140 up hill instead

RoadRaven - I rarely have white bread, the majority of my grain carbs are being supplied by brown rice or quinoa, or whole grain granola in small amounts.

If this helps, a sample eating plan (today):
Beverages - Black coffee, Water, water, water, and more water
Breakfast - 1/4c granola, 1/2c TJs fat free greek style yogurt, 1/4c blueberries
Snack - 1/2 Odwalla super protein
Lunch - grilled chicken breast (3oz), steamed broccoli/carrot/cauliflower, 1/2c brown rice
Snack - other 1/2 Odwalla super protein
Dinner - ~5oz jerk chicken, 3/4c quinoa w/ tomato & cucumber
Snack - 1/2c lowfat cottage cheese, 1/3c berries
