1. Is longer in the gym, better? I basically have 2 more weeks of nothing but free time so for the past 2 weeks so I've been in there for ~3 hrs a day. A lot of resources online say there's no need to spend that long in the gym but I feel like I can't leave until I've exhausted every muscle group I've decided to exercise. For example, today I did chest so I did 4x10 chest flies, 4x10 chest press, 4x10 bench press and 4x10 db bench press. By the time I was halfway through the 3rd set I was already having trouble finishing reps but I took a 20-30 minute break and finished it along with the 4th although I did push myself a lot. Between each exercise I did legs (leg curl, extension, and squats all 4x10) and finished each rotation with some hanging leg lifts. I also do some beginner HIIT which is basically 3 600 m sprints in ~1:50 with a minute break between each. I feel good and tired after every workout but idk if what I'm doing is superfluous, or I could be more productive with that amount of time.
My routine goes
A: Chest Legs
B: Triceps Back
C: Biceps, Shoulders, Abs
ABCABCx
2. I feel like I'm not eating enough. I am supposed to be cutting and I'm trying the intermittent fasting but often my big midday meal comes back up when I work out (which sucks). It's usually less than the recommended caloric intake and I think I'm probably consuming around 1000-1200 calories a day which is I think lower than what people recommend. The reason this concerns me is I'm not trying to fuck my metabolism and want to make sure it's ok before continuing my diet plan. How can I do this? Do I need a test?
3. Also what is /fit/'s opinion on Protein shakes while cutting.
