I am so glad you told us all you don't want to get too big, because it is very easy to do - professional bodybuilders just make it look really difficult.
:edit: Seriously though, I am interested in seeing how you progress as they are some quite heavily conflicting goals. Building muscle is not marathon friendly![]()
Good luck
Let's see some lifting stats.
Ignore Mehdi completely.
I kind of wanted to say this... but that would go against my reccomendation of SL 5x5![]()
Have you got a smartphone? There are loads of apps to track weights, and if you don't want to use one of those you can always save your workouts in text files/memos and then go back for a reminder on what you've done.
I can't speak for CalorieCount but I've used MyFitnessPal and it was pretty awesome.
If you don't know where your products are coming from (I'm assuming this is the case as you've said there are options for specific brands/supermarkets) then you should be able to simply weigh them and use generic "baked potato" and enter the weight of the portion. It might seem a little anal at first but once you've done it for a week or so you begin to remember what weighs what and what's worth weighing.
As for under eating, can you tell us what you ate in that 1700kcals day? It should be pretty obvious to people on here whether you're under eating or just calculating it wrong.
Don't see why you'd remove the egg whites?
And 5 eggs, it's all about 5 eggs any less is just pointless![]()
Overhead press is always the first weight to stall/plateau
If your sweat is making it more difficult to grip the bar, consider getting some chalk.
It's worth recording your lifts and uploading the vids here to make sure that you're lifting properly.
Which is why icecold hinted about posting a video or two.![]()
