You could count one day.
Can you go high calorie and then burn them doing cardio ( for me running) and still have the protein available for muscle building/repair?
YES!
Maybe an alternative to running would you leave you in less pain?
Running has never caused me any pain. Well, not since I started using the sandals. Before that my knees would hurt. I would run the marathon and not have any appreciable pain. Surfing does it. I would give up running if it interfered with my surfing. I ran 13 miles yesterday after not having done anything more than 6 miles in 7 weeks, and had no issues.
Nope. Probably not even close, but am aware of it now and make an effort to find some.
You have to do two shakes.

I think Alan's issues are as you said - he's a gym owner. Also, programming advanced or elite strength athletes is a lot harder - maybe you're adding only 10 pounds to a lift over a macrocycle at an advanced level and over a mesocycle at an elite level. Lots of things can impede progress when strength gains are so much relatively smaller and it's easy to call it a day unless you're a competitive powerlifter.
It's not the running. I think it's your mobility causing the surfing issues and perception of harm (fear) impeding you in strength. If you think deadlifting is injuring your back, the movement will be painful.
I don't think either diagnosis is on the mark. Main surfing issue is shoulder neck and there is definitely some nerve impingement given the the tingling thumb. And wear and tear after 50 years of surfing. Sore back happens when I surf multiple days in a row, especially on shortboard. I don't think it's mobility.
That could easily be muscular.

Pain is a lot like water in a bathtub. When the water level is low-enough, you don't have pain. The more things going on in your life, the more you add to the stuff in the tub. Eventually, too many things make it overflow into pain. Surfing + running + weightlifting are too much for your nervous system. In this case, I'd back-off on the weight and volume and keep the water in the tub.
I remember you posting the chart. I was thinking by pushing past the new protect by pain level maybe I could reset it at a higher level. Maybe it doesn’t work that way and I lowered it.That could easily be muscular.

There's a difference between your neurological tolerance - where your brain decides to turn on pain - and your tissue tolerance. In chronic pain, your neurologic tolerance is much less than your tissue tolerance (right)..

Now you're getting it. I'd find a weight and volume you can lift without pain given your current level of other activities and slowly build from there. If you try to push through the pain, you'll decrease the pain tolerance which is the opposite of what you want to do.
I tore the labrum in my shoulder and spent most of last year rehabbing. Doc recommended surgery. Instead I went the conservative route and benched and pressed with just the bar...adding weight and slowly reducing volume. I was completely healed at 8 months and benching within 20% of my pre injury e1rm. Had I gone the surgery route I would have been completely healed in 8 months and completely detrained...basically starting from scratch. If you're willing to put the work in the body can heal from some pretty bad injuries. .
Come on, back angle definitely affects how much you can lift. Why do you think powerlifters try to get their legs as wide as possible? It's to keep their backs as straight as possible.
There's a big difference between strength development and doing a max lift while trying to limit the range of motion as much as possible. Legs are wide to limit range of motion. Daniel Bell uses a narrow stance but does a sort of ballet plie which does the same thing. There's also the issue of a large midsection. Many powerlifters could not get their gut between their knees.
Powerlifters are obviously an extreme example - they're so wide that the squat suit takes over for the hips in the hole and they're limiting the range of motion with foot width. For non-powerlifters or people just training for strength, widening the stance and/or turning out your toes also gets your femurs out of the way if you have long femurs. You’re going between your legs more than you’re hinging at the hips. To do this, you might have to work on hip mobility. A more-upright torso throughout the squat definitely helps you lift moar.
Like I said, Daniel Bell uses a very narrow stance and squats with a vertical back angle. I don't know why you are using anomalies like professional powerlifters or even olympic lifters as an example.
Daniel Bell is making my case, not yours. He has a pretty wide stance. His heels are outside his hips. He's just not relying much on a squat suit like the other 'tards that have a super-wide stance.
Forward knee travel is not the issue. In fact, it's limited by your back-angle and hip hinge as that guy with the mannequin explained.
It's going to impact recruitment, not depth. A wider stance and more outward turn of the feet will recruit more adductors. However, this is traded off against more vertical back angle.
