Workouts and Eating

I'm currently going through my second round of P90X (classic schedule). I've done it once before - well, actually, this is my second attempt at a second time (I got sick and missed enough that I started over) - and had really good results. 

I'm currently at 200lbs and I'm a bit over 6'1" tall. My goals are to get to 180lbs and down to a 34 waist (I've got a whopping 37" waist right now).

The last time I went through P90X I got down to 175lbs and 34" waist so, I know I can do it. However, one of the hardest things is eating right. I don't mean starving myself either. My current diet plan has a target of 3000 calories per day. It's a low fat diet and is high in protein (for the first month). The idea is to reduce my overall fat weight while still powering my body for the workouts (1 to 1.5 hours 6 days per week).

Right now, I'm in my second  week of the first phase (there are 3 phases - each a month long). After this phase, my diet will change - reduce calories based on body weight and less emphasis on protein in the daily portions - and the workouts change too. 

I plan on posting periodically with my thoughts and observations as I go through the program this time through. 

I'll post my current measurements in the next day or two along with a typical day's meals and calories.
