As for the muscle without definition, you need to deplete yourself. Cut out carbs for a few days and do your workout with cardio and see some new veins and lines while you are depleted. Its really cool.

A few weeks ago. My cholesterol is actually down ten points.

My main source of protein is all lovely chicken, disgusting cottage cheese, and various forms of potatoes (not fried).

Well, in general potatoes are very nutritious, and even though they don't have a ton of protein, their protein quality is very high.

So I advocate potato consumption in general for everyone, even though I don't know about them as a primary source of protein
