How's the cut going, anon?
>>36678208
So hungry
I must feed
>tfw you're a bottomless pit
Husbando mode is my natty limit
It's going.
I was kinda slacking on my cut. Eating good and clean during the weekday then binging hard on the weekends. Then I began to binge eat. Binge for a day or two then don't eat for a day or two. Rinse, wash, repeat. for like a month my weight stalled. Trying to get these last 15 lbs off but it's rough.
But this week I've gotten back on track so I hope to keep at it
>>36678208
just started mk677 and cardanine today so we'll see.
>started lifting and running again yesterday after a break
>gave in and ate maintenance today
fug, i always fuck up if im not working or on EC/caffeine
>>36678208
Cut started off rocky but now things are sailing smoothly. Currently in the second run of a PSMF - down from 297 to 276 in a little over 3 weeks. The second and third weeks I didn't stick to the diet as well as I could, really waffled my progress there.
8 and a half weeks left.
I never thought I could do it,
3 years ago I got into lifting for a bit, and after 3 months of trying, I was so pissed when I found that 3 months of eating clean I lost 10 lbs.
This time I decided to do it right. I logged all my meals to make sure I was eating over 3200 calories, sometimes even 4000 calorie days. Being 6'4'' means it's hard to gain weight.
But today, after my first month back in the gym in 3 years I gained 10 pounds! I'm so happy and proud of my progress.
>>36678314
It was all fat nigga no need to be happy.
I feel better but my lifts are all stalling. I also missed a week of lifting and dropped by 5% on all lifts, which surprised me because during a bulk you can typically pick up ahead of where you left off if you miss a week.
>>36678321
I've been 185lbs for 5 years with no change whatsoever, so seeing that scale readout 195 today was amazing.
I'm afraid of getting to my goal weight and still being fat
Help me
>>36678208
Bulker coming through.
Just had a whole pizza and a milk protein shake. 1925 cals in 1 meal.
It's great.
>>36678270
>mk677
>on a cut
doesn't that shit give you a bottomless appetite appetite?
>>36678343
It's a sad fact that most people greatly underestimate their body fat. When you get to your goal weight, hit maintenance calories for a while until you're ready to get back to cutting. Or just keep going until you hit ~15% bf.
first 3 weeks went wonderfully, then gf had a huge bitch to me about lifting and spun me into 9 days of bingeing, cancelling it all out. back on the train now, 5 days in and feeling good. planning to break up with said girlfriend of 4 years tomorrow
we're all gonna make it, r-right senpai?
>>36678369
thats what i heard. hopefully in combo with the cardanine, anything i do put on will be lean. i literally just started today so we'll see.
>>36678314
>6'4'' means it's hard to gain weight
6'4 fat ass here. No it's not.
>>36678410
Just let her catch you cheating on her.
>>36678208
going great! down almost 50 pounds at this point and i'm now within 10 pounds of goal weight
>>36678208
Terrible. My biggest problem is boredom. I look at my fridge and nothing looks at all appealing despite being hungry.
I have no one to blame but myself though.
>>36678598
have some dedication dude come on
So far so good, I might go outside today tho and get some food, I hope not but if I do I'm for sure not getting more than 400 calories
>>36678208
Well.
I do have a question though, I eat 1200/day and it's tough. On MFP it tells me that I can eat 450 calories more on days that I run (30 minutes, 5k). It would be really nice to have that extra eating room but I'm not sure I should risk it.
What do y'all think?
>>36678988
How fast do you want to lose weight? You can eat that but it'll go slower.
>>36678988
Calories burned through exercise are fairly innacurrate so no point in paying attention to it
That's fatty logic..
>burned 400 Cal running
>hahaha that means I can eat some extra food
I accidentally ate at my bmr today because I misread some nutrition facts. At least it's still a little under maintenance.
>>36678482
It actually is. You're were just a sloppy lazy fat peice of shit that stuffed your mouth 24/7
>tfw was 6'4 at 290
>tfw was 190 January first at 6'4

That's exactly what I was worried about.
Thanks anon.

>300-500 cal a day
Nice bait bro
>>36679115
I'm 117lbs m8 you don't get to be skelly of you eat big. Weight goal is 110lbs
I did my best to check the sticky for it but mobile is a bitch, I bought a container of yohimbine HCl and have no idea how I dose it. I understand to take it fasted in the morning and how many miligrams I need for my bodyweight, but I guess my question is do I take all ~16 or so at once? Do I take all of it at once or split the doses? All in pill form (2.5) each or do I open the pills and just put it all in my mouth and chase it with water?
>>36678208
After two weeks the overwhelming hunger has subsided.
I'm eating at a 600-800 calorie deficit daily and doing HIIT 3x a week with no problem.
<---- can't wait to look like this
>mfw eat 900 calories and full as fuck
>mfw wanna still eat
Sigh. This is the part of the cut that is hard for me. Trying to train myself to just eat when im hungry. It sucks. And honestly ive probably eaten closer to 800 calories today (didn't finish all my food, overestimated condiments) and I'm hella full.
>wanna eat. still have calories I can feel but don't want to force myself to eat when already full
Sigh

>>36678266
Literally me
I'm not doing any cardio on my cut because I'm afraid that I will lose gains
Am I wrong?
Started on February 1 and have lost 20 pounds, down from 30% to ~22% body fat, aiming to lose another 10-20 until I'm under 15% before beginning a bulk. Looking and feeling better than I have since my early twenties. Cutting out milk and beer and limiting alcohol to a glass of wine a day has been the biggest challenge but I'm adjusting to the lifestyle changes and feeling motivated by the results.
Going pretty good. Cutting slow as fuck, 20 weeks 17 pounds down. Not bad for still drinking fri/sat up until the last 2 months. Few lbs left to go, just want to get lean as possible before a lean bulk. IF really helped me get through it.
I keep trying to cut but my weekends kill me.
>>36679631

Going well on an ECA stack. Easily staying below 1750 kcals. Went cold turkey for a day to see what would happen (and because I ran out of ephedrine). Got so fucking hungry I ate 600kcals worth of granola and skim milk then took a 4 hour nap.
Back on the ECA tomorrow.
>>36678208

>>36680281
5'7 weighted 117 this morning, today was my cheat day that I need to boost my metabolism so I'll probably be 120 tomorrow morning :/ and be back to 117 in 3 days or so
>>36678208
Going pretty darn well so far. Been slowly cutting for about a month. Down 10lbs so far. Got used to being hungry all the time.
Ate out today for lunch though since I forgot the one I made on the counter because I was running late for work ;-;
Had a big salad with ginger dressing, grilled beef with grilled veg and brown rice.
Stomach is growling as I lay in bed, I've embraced the hunger at this point.
>>36680538
Pic or you're just trolling.
Been eating 1200cals for nearly 3 months now. Down 26lbs. After the first month I stopped feeling hungry all the time and after the second I stopped feeling tired all the time.

pretty good, i finally broke my plateau by doing keto but some days i fuck up and overeat on calories even if im sticking to keto macros. all the food i make taste grrrrreat tho
and then some nights i stuff my face with shitty food but spit it all out so it doesnt count :))))) ayooooo eating disorder ho!

Congrats, you've made it to skinnyfat mode. Kek
You look like 132 not 122 in that pic due to the pudgy fat. You should actually work out instead of just cutting.
>>36678208
Like shit. I have 10-12 more lbs to go but I've been visiting my family and going out to eat a lot and shit and pretty much spent the whole month of March at a slight surplus.
Fuck all the skellies who think cutting is easy. You can't undo a month of bulking with a week of overindulgence like you can with cutting.
>>36680879
Yeah man I just ate a lot, had 3 protein tacos 1 horchata, 5 oz of chicken 5 kashew thingys, 1 bolillo bread with cream cheese but its cool, Tuesdays or Wednesdays are usually my cheat day, been doing this for months, I know for a fact ill be back to 117 in 3 days max and flat belly in 2 days.
Not bad. Cutting at -1000. Little by little. I'm just going to keep eating like 1500 calories a day for a whole year and see what happens. Something better fucking happen.
>>36678208
you guys have any of those clean eating charts for cutting ?
>91.5kg @ 180cm
>6 weeks to go to like 91.3kg

>>36680940
Careful man anything could happen if you keep it up for a year In my opinion you might turn gay. Just be careful dude don't push yourself too hard.
>>36678208
I just realized I've been eating the same proteins everyday for the past 2 weeks, chicken and tuna.
Thank god they can have lots of different flavour profiles.
>Start of the year: 175lb 24% BF
>Current: 153lb, 17% BF
Going pretty well, I think.
I could probably stand to lose 5-10lb more to get down to <15% before bulking, but I'm thinking about just saying fuck it and starting bulk next week. I've been cutting for over 3 months now, and my lifts have regressed enough that going to the gym is depressing now.
>>36678703
So proud of you
I eat 400 cals a day too, sometimes less lost 19 pounds and still 20 more to go
Starting today I'm going on a fruit diet for the week, wish me luck!
>>36678410
Pussy>>36678457
Going great cuz im not a weak willed motherfucker. Cutting is easy as shit if you want to reach your goal bad enough, anyone who just can't put down the fork doesn't want it enough.
>>36679910
It's why you should only eat salad
>>36680776
>that feminine body
Come here
>>36680971
As long as my midsection drops some crisco I don't care otherwise. I'll do my best to not become a gay faggot though
seriously is DNP gonna fuck me up?
>>36681053
Why would you become a gay faggot in the first place ?
>>36681067
Yes, just put a bit more effort in your diet.
>>36681067
If you fuck up your dosing and/or don't keep an eye out for possible side-effects? Yes.
Otherwise probably not. Read the DNP thread.
been cutting on a 800-1000 deficit for almost a week now using IF, been going pretty good with no hunger at all. Finished my bulk last week and this week im taking a rest week since my body has been hurting a bit and my lifts were not advancing.
>>36681067
Just count calories and run a defecit, anon. It's seriously not worth it. You'll lose weight.
If you absolutely feel like you need a boost, run an EC stack, 100% less risky.
>>36679758
Just make sure you hit your macros.
I've been cutting with 1800 daily, hit all the macros and on lifting days (3 days a week) I eat 10-20% more protein.
On my rest days, I do HIIT to minimize muscle being used as fuel and eat 5-10% more carbs.
Dropping weight and making gains.
Good luck fella.
I'm not tall should I keep going for natty gains or would a twink ottermode be better for me. Right now I feel really big and I know I can get bigger.
I only eat a lot of clean foods and drink tons of water so bulking has been hard so I'm not sure if I should lose everything
>>36681166
>Lifting for aesthetics
>Lifting for grils
It's like you don't want gainz.
>>36681200
I already have a girlfriend, I want gainz but I've never been as healthy as I am right now so I was wondering if I should cash in on the summer body early
>>36681160
> I do HIIT to minimize muscle being used as fuel
I honestly doubt doing HIIT will have effect on weather muscle is being used as fuel or not, at least not more of an effect as weight lifting would have. And going three times a week to the gym and eating at least 1g per lbs of lean body mass is pretty much enough. I think you're just making it more complicated than it really is, its not that easy to lose muscle.
>>36681160
Also if you're dropping weight and gaining muscle i can pretty much see you're still in you are in your first year of gym, because after two years of serious lifting there is no chance you'll be making gains while cutting.
>sick for the last few weeks
>not able to go to the gym
>only have two dumbbells at home
>family visits me with tons of food
>"you have to eat in order to get better anon ;^)"
>just wanted to see my sixpack again after 4 years of getting fat
Life is suffering
Got busy with school while cutting and accidentally ate way too little. It really wasn't good but I lost probably like 6 pound in 2 weeks.
Silver lining eh?
>Decide to be less fat
>Figure I should lose 10kg
>Lose 6kg
>No less fat
Progress is clearly happening, but I have no idea where. Or what my
goal should really be.
IF diet here. I'm hungry af in the mornings but it's going well
Cut is going ok. Sprained toe has me going crazy. It has been about a week since I have done anything other than pull ups. Hurts to walk.
>>36678988
This is how I do it. Works for me
IF, yohimbine, swimming while fasted in the morning, lift in the evening, no refined/simple carbs
4 pounds first week. We'll make it to beach bod percentages by May after all.
How much carbs should I consume? Different sources state different facts. I'm 69 kg (152 lb) 175 cm (is it 5'9?) dyel and planning to cut to 65 kg but my progress kinda stalled at 69 kg mark. Not exactly sure why but I will definitely do more cardio.
Doing well. Day 15 and at 288 when I started at 301. I won't make it by summer by I will next year.
>2016
>still not intermittent fasting when cutting
better killurself anon
>tfw you weigh the same thing days in a row despite cutting
I got too used to dropping weight fast and now i'm so impatient to get to the end
Ate a pizza large all by myself ladt week.
Havent gone over 1700 calories since then i wont until im fucking shredded. I'm gonna make it and no food in the goddamm world will stop me. I feel so motivated to cut after that huge slip up.
>>36683644
>2016
>still falling for fitness memes
How is high school.
cutting at under 1000 calories a day with high activity + steroids.
It's so fucking vexing.
I don't feel that insane hunger, instead I get this permanent minor-moderate feeling that I want to eat, it's like, fuck off yes I know I'm hungry stop bothering me.
Cutting is easy.
Studying for exams isnt hard.
Cutting with the stress of studying for exams at the same time is a real bitch.
I didn't realize I was such a stress eater.
From 192 Xmas day, to 159.2 this morning. Pretty good I'd say. The problem is, I'm still fat, and my goal weight was 155 lbs. Going to have to do some recalculations, or keep cutting, or something. 5'10 reporting in.
>>36683946
Different Anon, but IF is really just a justification for skipping breakfast/not eating dinner. I eat dinner really early, like 4:30, then I don't eat till ~9-10 am the next day. Not necessarily a "traditional" IF routine, but the main benefit is that dinner is usually when I eat lots of bad things/dessert. Eating at 4-5 pm means I seem to avoid a lot of the bad foods.
YMMV.

>>36678208
bulking until the dbol is all gone
>>36684255
So?
>>36684578
12 lbs/month basically? Prepare for dat plateau anon. And make sure to re-adjust your BMR for your new weight.
>>36684036
You need to add some muscle. That's why you're still flabby. I'd probably round off at 155, which is your goal, and then look into doing a clean bulk.
>>36684614
Just informing you. Lots of people on /fit/ fuck traps, doesn't bother me. I myself have a weird fetish for girls with vaginas.
Struggling like hell for months with cutting. Then I realised that if I eat 1600 calories for breakfast and 500 about 8 hours later, I'm completely fine. Fuck knows how good that is for me, but at least I'm sticking with it
>>36684621
Now there's a word I've wanted to hear for a long time: "bulk". But, two things.
1. Should I eat at maintenance calories, plus work out, instead of the cutting/cardio+weights that I'm doing now? Or by "bulk" should I eat at slightly over maintenance (2100 would be 300 over maintenance I think) and try to put on mass?
2. Define "clean". Can I eat regular food so long as I don't go overboard, or if I'm at a surplus am I just going to have to suck it up and go with plain chicken/rice/broccoli? I've got some protein powder, so I should be able to hit increased protein macros pretty good.

>>36681067

9 lbs down since march. Trying to get visible abs for the first time. I've never been this lean in my entire life. I hope it will work.
Should be done by the end of April just in time for the beach season to make skelly nerds and fatasses mad and jelly
>>36685146
Of course it will work just keep at it.
>>36678208
I can't believe it but I'm done. I achieved and actually exceeded my goal. But it's not over yet, I will take couple weeks to refeed to my maintenance level.
>>36680879
>You should actually work out instead of just cutting.
BTFO
So is it true that coffee helps with cutting or is it just broscience?
Also, do we have a consensus on "recomp" yet?
Had a bit of a hiccup these last couple days from some sick nasty munchies I've had from lmaoing too often. I'm going to take the weekend to eat really clean so I can continue strong on Monday.
>>36678208
fucked up and had 300 grams of fancy goat cheese and a glass of OJ when sitting with a friend. So, yeah. FUCK.
Anyone here cut following an iifym approach? As in fitting in a small treat here and there iifym. Are the end results really all that different from eating clean so long as you're in a deficit/doing everything right etc?
>>36685716
Stimulants reduce appetite, so coffee does make you less hungry. Idk if the caffeine is enough to like accelerate your metabolism or anything tho.
tfw you discover in this thread that youve been reaching proteins intake goals that were wrong
>left the default protein goal set in myfitnesspall
>i should have been taking twice that number

>How's the cut going, anon?
I can't bring myself to start cutting. I've cut for a year going from 120kg to 80kg, then started eating at maintenance first and then full blown bulking at +300.
I've seen more gains in this 3 months i've been maintenance/bulking than in the whole fucking past year.
I just want to hit my 3 pl8 dl and 2pl8 squat then i'll be back to cutting, it will probably be too late, like august lol but whatever, i don't really care.

Keep at it man, I got the same goal as you since I can just barely see my top 2 abs at 190, hopefully by 180 I can see 2 more.
I've postponed my cut to bulk more. If I'd cut now I would just look like a skeleton
>eating less than 1000 calories
Doesn't that trigger starvation mode or have I been lied to?
>>36686600
Starvation mode is a meme.
You will, however, lose muscle mass if you're not eating a ridiculous amount of protein.
If you're going to do a modified fast/extremely low calorie diet, get yourself a copy of Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss handbook and follow the protocol exactly.
Shit works, I've dropped 70 pounds over a combined 2.5 months on it.
>>36686600
>>36686674
I don't know about this guys. Last year i finished my cut on 1300 cals, doing 40mins of cardio every day and weight was not dropping at all so i had to stop.
I fucked up yesterday because I bought a bag of weed tuesday evening. Woke up, smoked, skipped leg day and ate 1000kcal above my daily goal in candy and nuts.
But one day is just one day. Not doing that shit again. Woke up today, did some errands, had healthy lunch, now working out and I haven't touched the weed yet despite that it's right in front of me. It'll be much nicer to smoke after a good workout and a proper dinner too.

Is that a picture or your progress or some random girl?
i have a question, i think i was memed last time i asked
are almonds with light salt (40mg per 30 nuts) a good source of protein on a cut? i like how they taste, it's a really easy snack
i got a bunch of replies saying i had to "activate" them, i googled it and got nothing
>>36687281
>eating unactivated almonds
I hope you don't do this
>>36687337
can you please give me a serious answer
if this is a meme i am unaware of it or its origin
>>36687281
Almonds and nuts in general are not reall a good source of protein. They're good sources of unsaturated fats. They're healthy, but if you're struggling to get your protein in try chicken, skim milk, Greek yogurt, and whey.
>>36687341
If they fit into your caloric restrictions (see: cutting) and help you reach your protein goals for the day, go for it. That's literally all eating is. Meet calorie and macro goals.

Bulked without counting calories. Gained muscle and fat. Lifted 1 year 10 kg. bf 15%. Gonna cut throught this month and half of next. After that im gonna count my fucking calories, even if it sucks dick.

This is what Yellowtards will cling to
>>36688327
cut gradually,start with a 10% deficit,when you stall cut 5% more,and then 5% more then start eating mantainence for a month and then restart cutting,just dont do too much
>>36687281
Almonds and nuts in general are really calorie dense because their packed with fats and have a little bit of protein. If cutting, it's probably best to limit them to a serving a day, or less
God tier bulk food though
>>36678208
staple of my diet has gone from being pizza to chicken breast, broccoli, green beans and cottage cheese.
cutting for 3 weeks @ 1680kcal, lost 18lb.
can't wait for the next 18.
starting to feel my lifts decreasing though.
Brahs I'm doing IF, I started eating at 12:00
I've only had 1200 calories and I'm full as fuck (it's 5:00 PM)
Should I force some food down or what?
>>36680776
feel sorry for you if youre a male
>>36681145
How would you even begin to find that much Ephedrine in the States? Aren't you just allowed a certain amount? What are the legal limits on this?
>>36689977
never done it before but I'm pretty sure people make frequent trips to the pharmacy in the months coming up to EC stack, or have a group of friends help
>>36678208
My stomach rumbles
Well anon I'm sick and whenever I eat my stomach feel shittier so over all it's going great. Should be seeing these abs pop over the next 3 or 4 days
>>36689977
You go to Walmart, cvs, anywhere and you ask the nice Asian if they have bronkaid or primatine, they will ask for your ID and you sign stating you will not make meth or help someone make meth and you're
On your merry way. Ffs
>>36690026
Surely you can't exceed the legal limitations on it though, so if you're doing this solo, that means that you can't buy more than 2 boxes of Bronkaid (not sure about primatene) per month in states that do not impose it's own limitations. I am also assuming that they'll ask for your Drivers License or ID, so anyone living with you cannot order it on your behalf if you have already exceeded the legal limit. Am I wrong on this?
>>36689603
Why is that?
>>36678208
>he doesn't summer bulk
do you even play a winter sport?
Went from 175 pounds to 145 after cutting since the beginning of the year. I'm a 5'7'' manlet.
My NYR is almost complete, hoping for 135 pounds.
>>36690170
>175 pounds to 145
I hope you're either a midget or a girl with those numbers.
i literally just started last week
lost 2 lbs so far
8 more to go
>>36690188
>I'm a 5'7'' manlet.
>>36690197
Woops. Didn't read the whole thing. Sorry.
I'm 5'11 (king of manlets), started at 250 and went as low as 163. The times I approach 165, everyone makes remarks that I lost too much weight, even with very slight belly. So imagining anything lower than that while retaining muscle is pretty difficult.
I've been cutting on and off for like a year now. Went from 306lbs to 255lbs. Just another 100lbs before I look more appealing than a walrus. It is nice to get my ego stroked by people who have noticed I've lost weight, though it's a shame about my clothes.
>>36680710
I meant 16mg, I'm 185 at 6'3
>>36678208
I dropped 8 pounds in 4 days but now I am seeming to struggle getting the rest off. It's still going downward though, which is good.
I was 225 at 6'3 until an ACL reconstruction in november, in which I was immobilized for a week and a half, on crutches for another two, and couldn't go to the gym for at LEAST 2 months.
During that time I stuffed my face and managed to bring myself up to 250. When I went to the gym again and started gaining muscle, I hit 260, which is when I got fed up and starting dieting again.
>>36678208
>doing quick cut to lose 3%
>have no problem controlling what I eat and staying under 500
>starting to feel smaller ever day
>arms look like they're 1/2 size
>all lifts are stalled or improving
I've wanted to quit so many times cause I feel so fucking small, but I telling myself it's for only a month or two.
>>36691185
you mean minus 500 tdee? or minus 500 calories
>>36678208
Bretty good. Bahamas trip in 7 weeks and I'm well ahead of where I want to be. Can't wait to get back into perma-maintenance until I go ham during Thanksgiving and Christmas again.
>>36691204
minus 500 tdee
>>36688638
if you don't eat enough proteins they will as you will lose muscle if you don't carefully check what you are eating.
>>36691222
you taking enough protein?
>>36691238
yea i'm getting about .82 x body weight
I have finally stopped being a faggot and started to cut the final 15 pounds off. I used to be 250ish got down to 160 and I've just sort of sat there at 18-20% bf for about a year now.
I'm a few weeks in to hitting it hard and I'm leaner than ever. Top 4 abs are visible in the right lighting, face looking sharper than ever. Why the fuck didn't I do this a year ago guys.
Down from 200 to 182
Going super well.
It's nice to actually be able to run now. Cardio gains are great feeling.
>>36678208
God I want a burger!
fuarkin great. 5'9" @ 157.8 this morning. ran my first 10k today. i feel and look better than ever.
scored a date with a 8/10 also. life is good.
It's going man, it's going
1 day at a time. Sucks though man. Dome with calories for today but I'm craving some tortilla chips
>tfw lost 2 pounds in a week
Holy shit this is easy
Down 10 lbs since I started at the beginning of March, so I'd have to say 5/5 bretty guud
I'm a few weeks in and I'm starting to notice my inability to eat like before. Like my stomach suddenly shrank.
I've also noticed that I don't have constant hunger pangs anymore. Like my brain was coming down off of some kind of high.
Is nice.
5'6'' 140lbs atm. (+10 in 1.5months) . trying to get to 150 and 2plate squat before i start cutting. am i doing it right?
My BMI's almost 21 and my body still looks like shit. Getting discouraged.
>>36693606
Why are you going with your BMI? Shit''s a bad way to judge your progress unless you don't even lift.
The way I do it:
>Measure my current weight. Go to IIFYM and calculate how much calories should I eat to cut
>Eat less for a whole week, and keep track of the scale, while logging calories in myfitnesspal
>If I see that the scale go up, I eat less and less until the scale goes down when I measure the following week. First thing I cut would be carbs then fats if I don't see the scale move.
I don't fully trust any metrics because they don't know your exact body composition. IIFYM keeps telling me that I need to eat 1600 calories to cut (at 5'11 172 lbs currently), but those numbers don't budge until I go closer to 1500 or 1400 just to lose 1 pound.
>>36693325
Easy until you get to your goal weight.
>>36678703
>eats 400 cals a day

Mines going well. Taking two weeks off though for mental health. But in reality it's because I'm about to go visit my friends.
>>36696020

>>36696036
I'm 5'11. It's from 203lbs to 185lbs.
Are there any crunchy foods that dont have carbs or at least sugar? Already have veggies
>>36696058
Rice cakes are awesome. They're carbs tho. Nuts, but they're usually loaded in cals.
>>36696052

>>36696067
>>36696070
Nuts are good yeah, but seems like most of them have sugar (even tho it's more natural). Thing is I have insulin resistance and I'm trying to cut sugar and carbs as much as possible
>>36696109
almonds
>>36696073
whats joocky
Im consuming 3g protein per 1kg bodymass (~1.5 per 1lb) and 2g carb per 1kg (~1g per lb), 1800 cal a day (tdee is 2500). Is it alright? I was doing well but my cutting progress just stopped for some reason. I am clueless, plz help fit.
>>36696017
Well I don't lift at all, but I do cardio 5 times a week.
Monday I do 2 hours walk
Tuesday I spend 1 hour at the gym on high intensity shit and 1 hour body weight work out at home
Wednesday walk again for 2 hours
Thursday same as Tuesday
Friday same as Wednesday
Saturday and Sunday I rest
~I never log my work out to the app, I gained weight when I used to do that.
I have one cheat day a week to boost metabolism when I go up to a max of 1500 calories to boost my metabolism.
The rest of the days I have a max of 900 is just that I don't eat to reach the goal I eat whenever I feel like it (which is rare) and is fine as long as I'm not above 900
I ate a pastry after I posted that pic so yesterday ended with 518 calories
>>36680776
That body is fucking feminine. Hey baby do you have a boyfriend
>>36696279
sadly no
I'm a bit shy to meet new people
>>36696278
>walking
>cardio
choose 1
cardio is when you heart rate is elevated and your sweating
>>36696257
are you a 12 year old girl?
do you count drinks and shakes?
how long has this been happening?
>>36696459
okay then just walking, i don't think it matters anyway, i'd still be losing weight if I was glued to a chair
>>36696464
20
I only drink tea/coffee/shakes and I count those
2 weeks
>>36696465
ovcourse it matters i've been there
eat more you will feel allot better and be able to workout harder
you will also have less chance of loosing muscle
no only can you workout better but its easier and more enjoyable, + you will become more active in day to day life
>>36696464
Not that anon, but I do the same most days. 3 g pr kilogram is not that much
>>36678208
> Slacked on my cut,
> Now 2 days till weigh-in
> 1.5kg to go
> icecubes for dinner
>>36696474
3g is allot i struggle to get in 180gram at 1500kcal
and i eat a dozzen egg whites a day
>>36696473
thanks man, I've been thinking about it, probably upping my max to 1000 would make a difference? most people have said 1200 but I feel it's too close to my maintenance.
>>36696503
how is your bmr 1232 a day mine is like 2250 and i sit at a desk all day
i eat 1500 ish and am loosing easly u could probably easily got to 1200 and still loose as much weight you can only try and see just bring it up gradually
I love reading these threads because apparently I'm the only one here who can cut (for over 2 months now) without a single cheat day or even eating at maintenance.
It's not that hard to be honest family.
>>36696537
I'm 5'7 also the less you weight the lower your bmr is (right?) I was 118lbs earlier today.
Hey quick question:
On those online calculators what do y'all put for your activity?
I do a PPL 6x a week and do cardio 5x a week.
>>36696584
are you a female?
Good good, I already but to 120kg and maybe if I feel like it I will eat even more and cut up to 125kg :)
>>36696613
good luck trying to gain on a cut
>>36696020
great job man, mirin hard
>>36694050

>>36678208
goin good, down 198lb from 210
started new years resolution to get back in shape, quite drinking (hardest part) caloric deficit of 400-600 cal doing the Neolithic raw organic diet, no longer need cheat meals, haven't lost anything on max's , finally able to run sub 7 min miles again.
5 more lbs should be around 12% body fat, maintain for summer and start mah bulk after
I feel so good and glad Ive stuck with it this long
good luck everyone
>tfw you see that one vein that everyone has going up the entire arm for the first time in your life
with a pump and in the right light, but its still there
>>36696593
Overtraining mate.
While cutting, it's almost counter intuitive.
>>36696827
what are you and why?
Cutting
First thing I do in the morning is bang out every macro and calorie I need for the day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, everything. Eat it all, and make sure its in the deficit. After that, nothing gets in. Water, all day, and maybe a dab of hot sauce.
Stomach whines like a bitch between 7pm and 11pm, but after that, it's nothing. I Breakfast feels like a goddamn king's feast, which encourages me to maintain an iron frame throughout the day to look forward to it
>>36697187
Nah my body is used to this. I've been doing it the last year. I've just never tracked calories before.
>>36681593
Keep cutting until you're satisfied with how you look. Also, you are probably noticing the progress less than the people around you.
>>36678208
After two years of consistent lifting and off and on dieting I'm at 152 lbs down from ~240 lbs. Trying to lose the rest of my stomach fat (goal is currently 145 lbs) and then bulk back to 160ish and then cut back to 150-155 in preparation for the great winter bulk
How many calories are you all eating??Am 5'10-160lbs around 14-15% BF and am eating 1800-2000 calories on rest days (focus on fat) and 2000-2300 on lifting days (focus on carbs).
I want to get lean as fast as possible while keeping my gains.

You don't need to name your "diet" to some meme shit just because you shifted your meal times around.
