How's your cut going fit?
Post your progress and whatever. Are you going to make it?
I don't think I'm cutting right. My breakfast is 400 calories worth of cereal (Some Kashi shit), my lunch is a roast beef sandwich (Whole wheat) with yogurt and a glass of milk, my snack is a banana or mandarin orange, maybe tortilla chips with guacamole, depends on my mood, and my dinner is another roast beef sandwich, with milk and an energy bar.
I think I'm consuming too many calories, but I'm too much of a poorfag to afford protein powder so I have to get my protein through foods like that.
I've started doing a challenge for myself, where I integrate my hobby, video games, with exercise. I've been playing Doom on UV with fast monsters/degeneration flagged, each death is 3 pushups and 5 squats, if I die again, that's 4 pushups, 10 squats, etc.
I might make it if I seriously reorganize my diet but fuck me I can't eat celery at all, it makes me retch.

I'm doing a half-assed cut and have been losing 1 lb per week for a few weeks. seems ok thus far.
Well considering I've lost over 10 pounds in less than 2 months (192 to 181) I would say it's going pretty well.
I'm optimistic that I'll make it!
No more soda, alcohol, junk food, and other garbage that I used to consume.
Feels good to eat healthy and drink water like no tomorrow.
Read the sticky and actually count the calories in what you eat for a bit. Cardio probably wouldn't hurt either.
doing babbys first cut
think im losing muscle mass from not eating enough
i sleep at weird times as i work at night and dont really feel like cooking in the middle of the night so need some quick and easy protein snack ideas
>>37093335
I'm on the same fucking boat man, it sucks. I don't even have willpower to make eggs for myself sometimes.

Fatty here. Feeling great. Been just over a month and I've lost almost 10 lbs.
I'm staying under 1500 calories per day but most days I only go up to 1300 or so. I'm usually hungry when I go to bed but most nights I fall asleep fast and for some reason I'm never hungry in the morning until an hour or two after I wake up.
70 more lbs to lose but I'm going to make it.
>>37093351
i know, im trying to find the easiest quickest way to cook egg whites
>tfw bulking
>tfw huge meals huge energy and gains

I got my meal plan from Scoobs. Now I just put the shit I don't have on my mommies list and follow that shit religiously.
Lost 30 pound gained 35.
6 months later eat only carrots and protien shakes for 3 months while still lifting and jogging. Lose 40-50 pounds. Fuck my body up. End up gaining it all back.
>>37093173
On the 13th of May, I will find you and I will frag you.
>>37093173
you ever try soup? can make a really low calorie soup that will be much more filling than a sandwich for fewer calories
example:
200g chicken breast (195 kcals)
80g lentils (175 kcals)
20g pearled barley (70 kcals)
some spices
that's about 440 kcal and is super high protein and filling as heck.
Cut is going really well, in two months I dropped 15 lbs and will start a bulk Tuesday if all goes to plan, I just have to see if I will be going to anytime fitness or planet fitness. I really just want a place with free weights that I can lift at when it's 3 am and has locations all over because I travel a lot
7 weeks in and I'm 12lbs down.
My stomach is growling as I type.
>>37093335
I don't know about snacks but when I'm needlessly hungry I stream my 600 lb life

>>37093961
Finished a 50 lb cut over about a year, but I was feeling really weak and depleted when I tried to lift so I decided to bulk for a bit. Up 15 lbs in 8 weeks, now I'm having a hard time psyching myself up to cut again since my lifts have gone up massively and I don't want to lose them.
>>37093452
that looks godly anon
Broke another 10 pound barrier, trying to hold off on a cheat meal until next weekend
>>37093129
>tfw 24h water fast (with coffee)
8h in, wish me luck
5 pounds last month, getting stronger, can't complain
>>37093129
30 lbs down but going too slow. Lifts are stalled. Growing depressed. Belly still present. 175 lbs at 6'1"
>>37093129
Been on my own interpretation of the warrior diet (macros added) for three weeks now, 5 lbs down and getting striations like a mf.
>>37094163
You've still got a belly at 175 6'1? Damn, I'm 189 6' and hoping it'd go away soon
>>37094201
Yeah but I have basically no muscle mass so that probably contributes
>>37094234
same senpai
I'm doing intermittent fasting, hitting calories, eating good filling foods and still constantly feel like I'm starving.
what am I doing wrong?
>>37094381
Bumping for the answer to this puzzling question
>>37094381
Just keep it up for a couple weeks, i was in the same boat, but now i could go a day or two without feeling the need to eat. But then i take a bite of something and go ravenous.
>>37093377
>1500 calories per day
Are you trying to kill yourself? Just go work out. Losing lots of weight rapidly will make your skin look flabby and nasty since your body hasn't had enough time to lose the extra mass properly.

I really like eating spoonfuls of Marmite/Vegemite straight off a spoon, in small licks. It's very salty and satisfies any cravings you have without the calories that eating a spoonful of jelly or peanut butter would have - at 9 calories per teaspoon, you can't overeat.
I often eat it when I wake up in the middle of the night and need to wake myself up / concentrate (on writing a paper or whatnot). I'm pretty sure that it's a placebo, but I get "salt highs" from it, akin to a sugar high (that increase in energy and alertness), without any of the sugar.
>>37093452
I want to make this but Im concerned about the estrogen content in the soy sauce. Looks fucking great. Mind posting recipe?
Making solid progress on my lifts but I've hit a plateau in my weight loss, not sure why tho. I still got plenty to burn off but no matter how clean I eat for a week or how shit I ate that week I stay at a constant 175. Hopefully just means I'm slowly adding muscle and slowly losing fat.
>>37093129
Frustrating, don't seem to be making progress. Been stuck at 160, so I'm upping cardio to 6 days/week and if it keeps up I'll cut down from my current cals to 500 less
Gone from 320 to 250 in 3 months by doing two long cycles of DNP. Got my diet in check after my gf left me and I'm pushing for another 50 or so pounds before I bulk back up.
>>37094484
chicken was half price jamie oliver preseasoned stuff, from the "almost out of date" section of your local woolies. Normally i just cook chicken breast with seasoning, or cook it and add it to the veggies
Vegetables is a 500g packet of home brand mixed stirfry vegetables, a capfull of olive oil, soysauce and siracha sauce to taste
more than 6.5 servings of vegetables, 260 calories for the vegetables, 412 calories of chicken, 672 calories for a massive plate of nutritious food. possibly more from the olive oil and jamie oliver seasoning, but regardless, still a filling and vitamin filled meal for a relatively low calorie cost
Last night I consumed a Joey special (2 pizzas). Today my cut begins. It's 10 AM and I'm already hungry.
Was going great today, from 7am-4pm ate nothing but half an avocado, two eggs and some salsa and was feeling great. Had to wait for a ferry, had two slices of pizza, a three scoop cone. Met mom for mothers day dinner, had baked goat cheese on oiled baguette, a big fillet of salmon in butter, a smoked black cod fillet (mum couldn't finish it), a bold of onion bisque, and a slice of chocolate Gamache, as well as 4 glasses of wine

thanks famalam. I will eat this shit with some rice and siracha sauce
I eat chipotle marinated chicken breasts with rice or sometimes use the chicken to make some burritos like the fast food place (rice, beans, lettuce, low fat sour cream, red hot salsa etc).
In case anyone wants to make the chipotle flavored chicken, it's very simple. Buy chipotle peppers soaked in adobo sauce - you can find them in almost any supermarket or local mexican stores. Mix a can with like 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and a few cloves of diced garlic. You can add the salt to the marinade but I prefer to season the chicken with salt while it's cooking.
Anyways, mix that shit up then dump your chicken breasts into that mixture and let them marinate for a few hours in the fridge. Afterwards, just pan fry them on high for a minute, flip them over, lower the temp and let the breasts cook by steam so that they come out nice and tender. Overall, you're adding like 100 calories to each serving of chicken because of the olive oil and chipotle peppers but it tastes amazing.

How the fuck did you need recipe for that shit?

>>37094977
went from 197lbs (highest) to 171lbs in about 2 weeks .. now climbing slowly to around 200 .. still trying to maintain low bf% .. hoping to lose some along the way .. main goal is 8% @ 200lbs. I'm at 179lbs right now, climbed 9 pounds in the past two weeks, been taking it slow so I don't gain fat.
>>37094976

Week 8 of keto. Eating clean but not counting calories. I'm losing about 1 to 1.5 kg a week. If that stalls I'll readjust what i eat (2 eggs for breakfast instead of 3 etc etc).
I don't have cravings, although I feel shaky sometimes because I'm eating too late. Before keto I could skip a meal without any thought. Nowadays I NEED to eat at specific times otherwise I'll get grumpy pretty fast.
Hitting the gym 6x a week doing MAX OT training schedule. It's still kicking my ass everyday, but holy shit.I love that feeling after an intense workout. Seeing steady progress makes it easy to stay focussed.
Lost 9 Kg so far. Still have 18Kg to go. I'm 33% complete. I-I-I'm gonna make it...
>>37094997
g-god?
>>37095006
nice gains
>>37095006
You have a similar body as me and have truly made me feel like my hard work will indeed pay off in the end.
You look awesome.
>>37095006
Great work, anon
>>37095006
you look beautiful
183 > 174 @ 6'1 in 4 weeks. Still have 6-8 lbs to go.
>>37095006
Face gains to the point where I would honestly doubt it's the same person if it weren't for the scars.
God damn son.
i have 1 month, max 2 more to go. I'm 66kg trying to get to 62 but keep all my muscle. First 2 abs are visible, chest come in, love handles going away. Nearly there bros.
Today was good, thanks to IF I am currently downing 1kg of cookies and cream ice cream for my one meal of the day.
my cut has been completely derailed. nothing kills gains like dating, should go back to cocoon mode to finish up. upper abs coming through now though. also having type 1 diabetes fucks up a cut whenever i take too much insulin and have to eat fast acting carbs to avoid passing out.
>tfw looking up the calories that Stout has the night after getting wrecked at the local microbrewery
Sitting at 6ft 177 lbs ~15%BF down from 190 since April 1st and need to cut down to 170-172 by may 27th for a anime convention. I'm going to the keg steakhouse to night for mothers day with my grandma so I'm going to start my psmf tomorrow.
Currently eating ~2200 kcal a day while taking yohimbine in the morning for 2 miles of fasted cardio and ephedrine afterwards and while lifting 5 days a week. I also do refractory work so I'm quite active at work. I think I might make it and if I do I'm going to take my time with my bulk and not gain 30 lbs in 4 months like last time.
>>37093129
intermittent fasting and carb-cycling. losing fat like crazy.
>>37094484
Phytoestrogen is a meme
>>37095006
/fit/ poster child. You've inspired me.
Eating an ice cream sandwhich right now.
Not losing weight at all. Mind = Boggled.
what are some good veggies I can just eat raw?
zero time for cooking
>>37096038
carrots
celery (+ peanut butter)
cucumber salad (light olive oil oil and lemon juice)
spinach salad
cauliflower
bell peppers (yum)
tomatoes
Day one pray for me boys.
>>37094484
This estrogen thing is a fucking meme.
Let it die for fuck sake.
On a cut and running so much my skin is turning black. I want to tone it down but keep up the cardio. I found a jumping rope in my messy garage today. Is this a sign? What can I do with a jumping rope besides hanging myself?
Not really cutting but I dont want to open a new thread.
1035 pm here. Havent really eat nothing all day. Is it better to count this day as a fasting one or eating McD which is the only food I can find now?
Eat nothing or eat ff?
>>37096038
Carrots, spinach (get them pre washed and run em undr the tap again), celery, tomatoes.
Working well atm, just that I feel bad because I didn't start counting calories earlier. Oh well
100.5 kg (January) to 95kg (April) without counting
95kg to 90kg today with counting
Still fat though.
>>37096159
Don't eat McD. Willpower gains.
>>37096182
Even worse im not even hungry. Im just concerned I had no appetite today at all.(day between lifts, of course Ill eat tomorrow)
>spend 1.5 hours swimming today, burning an estimate ~750-900kcals
>eating 1500kcals today
I'm at 10%, i just want to get my lower abs to show and the last bit of fat to fuck off
>>37096136
uhhh... jump rope?
there's not really an awful lot you can do aside from that
>>37096346
So just jump rope for x minutes?
Cutting at 1200 calories a day, currently 179lb (10lb lighter).
Yesterday I told my sister I'd pay her £50 if I'm not 147lb or lower by October. Did I financially screw myself over?
Cutting with IF since end of March.
>only lost 0.7 pounds
Waist has shrunk by 1.8 inches though.
Should I eat the same amount of calories every day regardless of my physical activity, let's say 1600 every day. Or eat 1400 on rests day and 1800 when I did a decent amount of cardio ?
I already lost 50 pounds, probably 15 ~ 20 more to go, but I'm always hungry and it feels so slow.
>>37096689
You got plenty of time, keep it up anon.
For whatever reason I've gotten real used to my cut and I'm not sure how effective it is anymore
Lost around 20 pounds eating mostly fruits veggies and chicken, some salads and stuff you know
I didn't eat much one day and woke up the next day hungry as fuck so decided I'd eat 3 eggs and a protein shake for breakfast at around 8:30. Wasn't hungry for almost 12 hours. Should I be worried about this? I haven't been able to lose any weight in almost a month. I'm joining a gym when my finals are over btw which is Friday
>>37095006
Nice
>>37096505
idk you could tie a weight to one end and swing it around but I'd probably just look up different jumprope techniques and stick with those. But seriously cardio is the easiest thing ever. I don't know why people need so much specialized equipment. You can literally writhe around on the floor like you're having a grand mal and burn Calories.
>>37095006
Damn, I'm impressed. Height? Also, what's your experience with loose skin? (220ish - 160 in little under a year myself)
>>37095006
routine? Also great work and some good face gains!
>>37094381
get your leptin tested

30 lbs to go.
>>37094381
>I'm doing intermittent fasting,
Good
>hitting calories,
Good, but what are your macros?
>eating good filling foods
Are you sure? You eliminated all liquid calories, have high protein? Are your protein sources cuts of meat or shakes?
>and still constantly feel like I'm starving.
A carb refeed might be able to reset your leptin levels for a week or two, depending on how fat you are.
>>37093173
>protein powder is too expensive
>eating roast beef 2 times a day
the fuck
Started last July at 215 lbs, down to 170 now. Still 10 to go for 10%.
>>37093377
>70 more lbs to lose but I'm going to make it.
i workout 5-6 times a week and i eat 1800 - 2000 kcal ea day. :p i usually eat 3 meals and since i got the economy for it i order protein chips for snacks from some shady onlineshop. :) Lost ~33 pounds in 2 months #we are all going to make it

>>37097517
Not that guy but roast beef costs 1,5 dollar a pack here, and a pack is enough for 4-5 sandwiches. Whey can be very expensive depending on what country he's from.
>>37093129
im carrying 3 pounds of water weight and damn is it annoying.
I mean technically, I know the scale doesnt actually matter, but its still nice to see some sort of numerical confirmation of progress.
This week is supposed to be maintenance calories, to boost leptin, but now I feel like im slacking.
Fuck.

Down another pound this morning, feeling good pushing through after a recent stall
>>37098370
How do you know if you are carrying water weight?I was 80 kgs yesterday but now I'm 84 any chance of it being water weight?
>>37098931
>8.8 lbs water weight
wtf did you eat, dude?
>>37098987
I don't know man my weight changes so fast I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me.One day I'm 79 and another day I'm 84.I weight myself in the mornings full naked.
>>37098913
Wow, excellent steady progress!
>>37099070
Make sure you're scales aren't sitting on some sort of tiles. All 4 legs of the scale must be on same level surface, otherwise reading is messed up. I get a variance of 5 lbs depending the location of the room I use scales at (somehwat unever hardwood floors)
>>37098931
I ate a TON of sodium-covered fast food last week (fit it into my budget though, thankfully) and sodium makes you retain a ton of water.
In addition to my strict calorie counting, im very aware that there was no way I could have accidentally slipped the 11, 700 calories it would take to gain the additional amount of fat in pounds.
I dont train with weights yet, either. So I know it isnt muscle.
This morning I reached 178 down from 215, it's been a long process but I'm getting there
>>37099182
I drink 2 bottles of sparkling water every day.
>>37099176
I think something is wrong with my scales.
For the 8 months or so before April, I stalled. It's been my own fault. I moved across the state and started a new job, which aren't excuses and should've been motivating factors to keep going hard.
I started going to the gym at 285lbs of weak shit. For those eight months I was stuck at 210-220. Always hovered there. Never dialed in my diet. I just went to the gym and thought that would be enough. Then I stopped going to the gym during the time for about two months. At the beginning of April I'd had enough of that shit. I actually just sat down one day right before lunch in my little wage bitch cube and thought about why I started and how the home stretch was the hardest part and I needed to hit it hard and reach my goals for once.
I'm posting now at about 193lbs. I'm below 200lbs for the first time since about 2010. I'm consistent again. I never feel bad after eating because I'm eating well. I'm a lot more focused at work, I'm even active at work. I take ten minute breaks to do kettlebell squats and rows. My girlfriend is also eating better with me, and that's awesome. I feel like her motivation, which is a great feeling.
Basically what I'm saying is I stopped being a fat bitch and the obvious improvements came along with that.
Don't be a fat bitch, fit.
About
>>37099252
Yeah, I love club sodas too. Some can contain salt, though so I have to watch it.
Im gonna up my intake of normal water and see if I can shed the extra weight for the week.
>>37099176
I have this problem with my tiles, too. Im most of my weigh-ins are consistent if I stay on the most level side of the room. Im thinking about getting calipers, though.
>>37099245
Grats, brah!
>>37093129
Ive gone from 15 stone to 12.9 stone, now im getting told im too thin, i look drawn, i look ill...wtf ?? getting real insecure about it, was eating 2290 calories training day, 1684 calories on rest days...now im going back on 3000 training days and 2000 rest days...i fucking hate people

literally the exact thing I did. it's so depressing finally gaining muscle and then have it ripped away
Plz help, I wanna lift and actual make some gains as a noob at strength trainin but Im also a fat ass who needs to cut another 75 lbs of fatty fat.
>>37101844
slowly lower your calories but keep a high protein diet, lift 3 days a week and do as much cardio as you can
you can easily make noob gains and lose weight
>>37101864
Would drinking protein shakes while doing this be recommended as long as they don't put me over my daily caloric intake?
>>37096220
>im also having trouble getting that last bit of lower abdominal fat off
Seriously I know spot reduction is a myth but how the fuck are you even supposed to get that shit off you
>>37093129
Months of stalling desu.
>>37094484
Sodium is a bigger concern for your cut...and Soy is mostly salt.
>>37102358
And?
>>37102358
Just posting my progress anon. I live in a state of Perma-cutting and binging on junk.
>>37102377
yeah and eggs will kill you lel
>>37101915
Depends what you do with it.
If it is just 1 scoop (100 or so cals) it isn't a big deal.
If you are having 20floz of milk + 2 scoops than ya, it will fuck up your cut.
Down from 260, currently around 181.
Been stalling for a few weeks because life has been crazy, but hopefully break through this week.
Need to lose about 5-10 more I think for dem abs.
It's going great.
I went from 296lbs to 197lbs. My goal is 180lbs.
I need to buy a whole new wardrobe now. I threw away all my fat clothes. Going on a shopping spree this weekend.
We can all make it, bros
>>37094484
>cook chicken, with seasoning

Are you fucking retards that stupid at cooking that you really need directions for a chicken and veggie meal?
You are never going to make it.

How long did it take to get down to your current?
I'm 255lbs 6 foot and wanna know what i can expect in terms of time frame.
>>37097569
Same here, mane
I used to wear XXL and XXXL shirts when I was fatass mode. Now all I use is Large and XL.
Soon even the XL shirts will look big on me.

6'4"
I started recording my weight on 3/2/15, and I weighted 252.
So in about a year and a month I lost 71 lbs.
My guess for a time frame for dieting would be like 18months. You probably need to lose 80 or so.
After losing a lot of weight and then gaining some back, I kept trying to lose it without counting calories. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking. Anyway, once I started counting again, I was 225. This was in early January. Just weighed myself last night and with clothes on I got 182.5. My goal is 170 so I'm about 10 lbs away and I'm so fucking excited. Though I'm wondering if that 12 lbs will be enough to give me visual abs. I have a muscular frame even after a long cut so I'm really happy about that and I can't wait to do my FIRST BULK EVER. I'm gonna get swole so fast.
And fuck, this time around I swear the depletion of my babby fat has raised my testosterone a lot. I keep getting random boners like highschool and I dream about sex every night.
6'2 and 22 years old btw. I haven't lifted since highschool because of two shitty relationships back to back and a year of crippling depression. But things are looking up now, boys.
>tfw got a haircut and all the girls at work started calling me boy toy
>>37103040
Fuck all the normie who thought I was being obsessive. Caloric restriction and recording that shit is the only way to lose weight. Fuck I paid way less attention to what I ate than I did to the calories. And fuck everyone on /fit/ who said 1500 was manlet calories. It fucking worked
Having trouble cutting carbs. Otherwise it's going well. Having a spinach salad right now. Got it's terrible.
>tfw I'm losing all interest in fapping not that cutting
Just don't feel like wanking like I used to.
Anyone else?
>>37093173
sorry but im not surprised
i just got cycling courier job
i eat mostly chicken breast and broccoli and veggies for snacks right now
some oats with raisins
when i have too many bowls of oats with raisins my progress (which seems slow already) visibly shows
this is the thing i guess you come to realise when you're ready - it really is decided by small sacrifices. like beyond what anyone who never tried could understand

I don't mind salads, but they don't seem to keep me sated long.
I really like the volume for the calories, but the other part keeps me from eating them often.
>>37103069
I am 6'4" and I only eat like ~1700.
>>37093335
lifts were down today from their modest best
felt lame
but went and looked at myself with the pump and up to date fat loss - aw yiii
Do you guys increase your daily calorie intake on lift days or just eat to fill macros?
>>37094381
you'll know when going to bed hungry feels like
a) a war you will not lose
b) starts to feel good and your mind overcomes the matter
ok you wake up hungry af but thats what chicken and broccoli and rice is for

Probably not healthy, but it worked I guess. Now I need to get another job.
Obesity mode. Been doing this about 2 months so far. Every other day 30min bike ride. Saving up to join gym for a year. Will probably reach enough this friday or next friday.
I didn't quite get my starting weight, but first 2 weeks I assume I cut 10lbs. So now EIGHTish weeks later, It seems like I slowed down. I have a food scale, and I'm using MFP. It registers as 1500~1600 cals a day, while my deficit is like 1900~2100ish?
I do still think it's working, I have energy, no cravings. I did see cakes and even bought some sweets/pastries for mothers day, but I didn't touch any of it. Tomorrow I'll check my weight after a morning dump and report back on this post.
Its alright. So far im down from 315 down to 295. Does anyone know of a good substitute to ranch dressing that isnt as calorie dense?
>>37103255
what are you eating with ranch?
the raw food should be tasty enough on it's own before you consider adding something like ranch.
>all other lifts are slowly gaining or atleast maintaining
>OHP in a complete nosedive
Pre-cut, I was repping 200lbs, and today I couldn't even get up 175 for 3.
>>37095006
w/e, you're the same fucking guy as you were before.
You just look different.
>tfw avoided fat all day and have room in my macros for french fries and two thin mints at dinner
>>37094381
High Fiber foods and make sure you're eating enough fat
>>37103321
You're going too hard, cut back on the cut brah
its going fucking fabulous
apart from one drunken night 2 nights ago i've not broken my diet once in the month i've been cutting. getting bigger in the muscles as well, i think its because i eat super clean and get about 230g of protein within my 2700 calories (my TDEE is rather high).
and the other night was worth it anyway because i ended up banging this gorgeous girl. so yeah, things are going great.
What do you guys eat for breakfast on a cut? I can't do water and oats anymore
>>37103481
4-6 eggs, sometimes scrambled, sometimes an omelet, great thing is there's so many ways to cook eggs
>>37103252
Nice going guv. Just look into occasionally eating a surplus to keep your metabolism from taking a dive. Tom Venuto explains it pretty well if you want to look it up.
>>37103255
i just use olive oil for salads. Butter for cooking. Cheese, kind of goes with everything, but some people get IBS symptoms with cheese. Good seasoning on your meat and a nutritious fat like avacado will go miles.
>>37093565
Not OP but bitch, i will be there too. Look for a fucker named CuddleBunker
>>37093129
It's been about 12 weeks and I'm down about 30lbs from 193. I was 155 as of this morning, but my undisciplined lard ass decided to binge up back to about 158ish.
I slipped up guys, and fuck am I going to make up for it. It doesn't help that I'm out with a fucked up ankle, but this will bump in the road won't stop me.
>>37103481
Water, oats with raisins. Golden raisins.
And 2 poached or microwaved eggs with lemon pepper and a dash of salt. Honestly I don't know if you'd like it, but I've been having 2 eggs and half a block of smoked tofu baked in the toaster oven with Sriracha on top. 400 calories and it'll fill you up
>>37103669
Fuck anon, get back on the horse. Make us fucking proud.
>>37103534
Oh thanks anon, I never heard of this Venuto guy, I'm still learning about all these diet guys. I don't think I was too clear with my post either. But you managed to decipher it. Yeah, I'm struggling to eat more. Really weird for me to say since I've been a fat ass. Almost three-hundred club.
Sure I think about food frequently, I'm looking up fitness all the time because it's a super urgent goal for me now. I used to have fast food every week or double servings of dinner or sandwiches. If I had a 3 egg omelette, I'd try to turn that into 3 sandwiches with cheese. Snacks and bingeing too. But I am eating regular food now, not even snacking, I think this would have been me without all the gluttony.
The big thing was the food scale, and my new phone. I bought the wolfram alpha app and I use google, and can look up stuff while I'm preparing food. To put on clothes from a regular store I can simply walk in to.
Someone bought me a 3XL shirt as a gift last year, I was in shock and pissed at them. But they were right, the 2XLs were getting really snug. Now I'm back at XXL.
5'10 fatty here. Started at 315 in September, currently down to 275. Going to the gym 5 times a week (3 for lifting, 2 for cardio), and eating around 1900 kcals/day.
A-Am I gonna make it, anons?
>>37103689
Thanks anon, will do.
>>37103752
Don't slip, I believe in you.
Are there cases where you lost hope at all? Food weaknesses? What is your average daily meal?
Is green tea a good thing to drink on a cut? I do drink water but I like taste with my liquids from time to time.
>>37103850
totes. black as well. no sugar obviously. you can use sweetener, I recommend stevia, but personally I like my tea unsweetened.
>>37096220
>>37102032
Yea I've got the same problem. I'm probably around 11-12% bf but they still aren't showing. I'm thinking my insertions are fucked or something. I'm just gonna bulk until I have more muscle, then see if they pop out more when I cut again.
anyone else have an adderall prescription? shit is cheat mode when it comes to cutting
>>37104276
Similar to you, I have about 5 kgs left until I'm where I wanna be. What he gotta remember is that when we look genuinely cut, we will be very light. We just gotta hit dem protons, lift hard and it'll come. It seems never ending, but it'll come brahs
>>37103812
>Don't slip, I believe in you.
Th-thanks
>Are there cases where you lost hope at all?
Plenty of times. Usually on weeks where I ate at a constant deficit, yet the scale said I didn't lose any weight. I know that muscle weighs more than fat, which may be do to me only starting lifting a month or so ago, but it still sucks.
>Food weaknesses?
Pizza. I'm sorry, but it's just so good. It's also been so long since I've had a good cheeseburger. And my family vacation is coming up in July, and I just know I'm going to pig out while there.
Also, I usually have a rum and Coke on my nights off from work.
>What is your average daily meal?
I actually work the evening shift at my job (inb4wagecuck), so my eating schedule looks like this:
>Eat oatmeal with milk for breakfast
>Pick up a small sandwich, apple slices, and carrots from Wawa for lunch
>Pick up a salad and some yogurt from Wawa for dinner
I hate not being able to cook at all.
I don't have scales that weigh me, as I'm >30th
I've used this as an excuse to not start.
>>37104657
>30th?
And just start you fat faggot
>>37093129
I'm fucking dying man
Today I had a huge god damn spinach salad with some bacon on it.
I got high and now I'm just starving, I have nothing absolutely nothing snack wise that I can eat.
I need to go to the store, someone recommend me some snacks.
>>37104701
Gelatin
>>37104276
I can see my top 2/4 at around 15-17% bodyfat, at around 10% I can see all of them, however my abs are pretty strong, I can do dragonflags, human flags, hanging leg raises and all those other hard abs exercises. Try to gain some muscle on your abs and they'll show. You're not supposed to get your goal body in just one bulk/cut cycle. It takes several and from my experience and what other people have told me, you get to cut just a little farther every time you do a cut cycle.
>>37093303

>>37104945
>There are around 23 calories in a single envelope of gelatin. All of these calories come from protein alone.
How is gelatin not a dank meme on this board?
>>37093129
Woke up at 257 - it's been 3 weeks of solid cutting, down from 282. I broke from my diet, made myself a sirloin sandwich and had a couple servings of ice cream. A few hours later, I felt it, that remorse - then I realized I'm still below maintenance. The food I ate today, that I 'splurged' on, would have been just a single meal a year ago. Hell, only half a meal depending on the day.
Down from 430, 60ish pounds to go.
>>37104991
No clue. There's even gelatein powder kek
>>37104793
It's too good to be true. Gelatin is entirely collagen protein - it's really only used by your skin and your joints.
Though, supplementing it for joint/skin health is a fantastic idea.
>>37105018
I'm in luck I have a fucked up knee after tearing my meniscus and dislodging my patella

Honest question bros:
How bad is Subway? Specifically chicken teriyaki foot long.
Also my weekly cheat meal is a bucket of 9 peices of chicken, eaten over 2 meals, every tuesday when I can watch Game of Thrones.
How much will these two fuck my diet up? My regular meal is 175g of chicken breast and broccoli+salad.
>>37095973
>for an anime convention
What are you cosplaying as? Disappearing chest man?
>>37105197
You can google subway nutrition info, go for a good bread, no sauce, and load up on veggies
1 cheat meal a week won't fuck you up, sounds comfy
>>37105223

Every day of my cut, i eat a bit over half a kilo of meat and a full kilo of vegetables.
Today is Turkey breast and vegetables in a spicy soya sauce
down 7 faggoty pounds, just ate 500 cals of chicken and broccoli so don't want to shoot myself for another 4 hours
>>37106304
looks tasty senpai
>>37106304
Gonna get some ginger, soy sauce and tiger sauce and make some fucking wok tonight nigga
>>37094118
I literally do this every day. Don't be a pussy
>>37107220
It's easy as well. Just takes some time to get used to it. I tried for maybe 5 days before I got it, from there on I've been able to do it for 24-48 hours no problem. Just drink and keep busy.
Do you rice eating faggots recommend a rice cooker or am I just buying a overpriced pot?
>>37107283
i bought one on amazon for like $30 bucks and it works great. I hate having to make rice on the stove with boiling water, i'd rather just press a button and let it do its thing.
>>37107283
Extremely worth it. Makes cooking rice as simple as putting rice and water in a pot and pressing a button. Keeps it warm for you too
>>37107371
>>37107389
Thanks, I don't eat rice all that often right now, but figured you can do lentils, beans and other crap in it as well.
>>37093129
I fucked up this weekend. 2 days of eating bad turned into 4 days of eating bad. Lost my self control and wanted to binge. I ate way too much. I was losiny weight and now i gained a bunch of it back. How can someone gain 8 pounds in a 4 day span wtf. My metabolism is all kinds of fucked where i cant even outlast a 4 day binge without blowing up. My definition is gone. And im whining like a little bitch
I'm still new to being able to cut. Can someone give me a crash course on it?
>>37107473
eat less calories
eat cleaner
do more cardio
get your protein in if you're lifting
>>37107473
ya don't eat
>>37107283
they're nice if you have space in your shithole apartment for it
I'm getting tired of stir frying broccoli, and I was wondering if anyone here have any other good recipes for broccoli
>>37107540
stir fry it with different spices
>>37107540
blanching it is tasty too fagalam
From 278 in January to 250 just weighed in today.
I'm m-makin' it bros.
6 weeks in- I can see my abs in the morning
Anybody have experience with low carb or carb cycling? Will it do anything different from your regular calorie deficit? I'm hoping it'll reduce bloat.

>>37107466
Same literally happened to me my birthday :( I didn't think it was possible to gain 7 pounds in the span of a few bad days. All ya can do is suck it up and get back on that horse.
>>37107893
Most of it's just water unless you literally ate a supermarket
>>37107643
It's good for initial weight loss and forming good habits (gravitating towards good foods) but since you're pretty lean already and not roiding don't drop your carbs or fats. Keep you macros balanced and don't stress over eating a lot of protein. Add some various forms of cardio. Focus on HIIT like sprinting, but an occasional long hike would help you too.
>>37093129
Why is chicken considered the holy grail of protein? I've recently switched to fish fillets and let me tell you, it's fucking awesome.
>No prepping or defrosting, shit can be cooked frozen and takes less than 5 minutes on the stove
>Soft and moist as fuck. You don't even have to chew. Unlike chicken breast which can end up dry and chewy as hell.
>Dat fish oil
>>37107793
height?
Since January 104kg down to 93-94, about 6kg more to go, increased the calorie intake a bit but also increased intenstiy.
Hoping for a slower cut but having more muscle mass at the end.
Doing IF, 3 days fast (the only meal I have is a cup of milk with coffee) 4 days training with a meal before, a intra-workout shake and a 900g meal afterwards (usually chili or some other stew)
Mood is awesome, eating is awesome, droping down the weight is a little bit slow but I don't care much about the when.
Using myfitnesspal to track calories and whatnot. Am I playing myself? I eat a decent amount and I'm usually 300 or so calories under.
>>37107917
God I hope youre right. I looked at myself in the mirror and havent been this down on myself in a very long time. I saw failure and it was looking right back at me.
>>37107220
you dont eat every day?
>1 cup of brown rice is 216 cal
>I put 1 cup in the rice cooker every night
>Rice expands during cooking
>That value was for cooked rice
>1 cup of raw rice is 680 cal
>I've been unknowingly eating an extra 470 cal for a month while planning for a 500 cal deficit

Aight, so I am dropping a pound to a pound and a half a week roughly. Last week was 266 now im approaching 264. So it is working. MYFitnessPal has me mapped out to be below 250 in just over a month.
So it's working. No plans of stopping the cut, it's working. Based eggs, based avocados, based olive oil, based spinach and broccoli.
>>37093129
How do you people make broccoli? boil or just on a pan? Looking for the one that makes me feel full in the end.
>>37094484
as far as i know, real chink soy doesn't have the estrogen shit in it.
>>37107540
olive oil, salt, pepper. burn it in the oven. it's fuckng tasty
speaking of vegetables. I find it real hard to eat them alone. They are still disgusting to me. Even slightly, the easy mode lettuce and raw leaf spinach.
Do people just eat their veggies raw? Is it wrong that I feel I have to eat it with meat?
>>37095973
do you workout chest at all?
Also don't suck in the gut
Cutting since 10/1/15. Weekends have been difficult to always stay strict on.
Took a 2 week maint break over Christmas.
Weekends still not always on point to this day, but are a lot better.
Went from 251 to 217 (last weigh in was late march, positive I'm lower now). Waist went from 40 to 34. Lifts have only gone down a bit, I've been trying to retain what I can with lifting/'tein.
Sooooo: cut is going wellish, I'm just really eager to be off it and be aesthetic for the first time in my fat life =]
>>37111260
Why haven't you weighed yourself in 6 weeks?
>>37093129
I'm fucking hungry senpai
>>37111296
same
Keto helps a lot, for me. It feels like I'm not cutting even though I'm still losing weight. Ive had a couple days where I overate but I've stuck to Keto friendly foods even then and I don't feel bad about it because I'm still dropping pounds. I just need to vary my diet up more/handle my veggie intake (I worry about THOSE carbs because I'm not sure how to count them) I've heard conflicting opinions about veggies on keto, 'you can never get enough' 'I eat so much broccoli' 'anything green is good' and I've yet to find out what is right and what is wrong on that front
>>37111296
After a while the hunger becomes less of a negative thing and more of a state of mind. Like a jungle cat you feel a constant need to hunt and consume prey in the night. Your senses will be honed to a razor thanks to constantly being on edge. All who gaze upon you will be consumed with fear and offer you tribute of baked goods, that they might be spared your ravenous attentions.
>>37095006
fuck the body gains, the fucking face gains are amazing. great job anon, forever mirin
