I eat way too little, even /fit/ agrees.
But every time I increase my calorientation intake I seem to gain more fat even though I'm not reaching my TDEE. I don't even know anymore /fit/ I want to live a healthy life but I'm just too stupid.
Pic related, that's me.
>>37313374
>calorientation
I typed calorie
>>37313374
So what are you asking?
>>37313400
What the hell should I do. I'm at a loss.
I know I'm eating way too little but everytime I try to eat properly it seems I just gain more fat
>>37313416
Do you lift weights?
>>37313416
1. you're overestimating how much you need to eat
2. you're underestimating how much you actually eat
>>37313429
I'm too poor for the gym but I lift cinder blocks if that helps anything
>>37313437
Made a thread earlier. I always measure my food so idk. I used scooby calculator for my BMR and TDEE.
>>37311623
>>37313440
Any playgrounds or parks around you can do pullups on those, you can also start doing a bunch of other bodyweight excercises, and my favorite for getting lean is sprinting short distances for a few reps
>>37313469
Hmm. I never actually thought of going to a park for that kind of stuff. I run out of breath after jogging for a minute.
>>37313483
Just sprint like 100 yards and take a 1 minute break in between and do that 4 or 5 times
>>37313460
How long have you been on this diet for?
>>37313505
3 days
>>37313505
I stopped pigging out on junk food and sodapop back in January. Starved myself eating only a can of tuna and an apple a day for a month and some. I binged back up to 300 lbs. Then around April I started a keto diet. Its not purposefully starving myself it's unconscious stupidity
>>37313521
You're not op. I'm op. Please don't do this.
>>37313374
>I eat way too little, even /fit/ agrees.
Highly doubtful, you probably aren't even close coming close to calculating your caloric intake right.
>I seem to gain more fat even though
You probably have not significantly altered your fat stores in either direction during your attempts at fitness. You've probably just been losing (and replacing) glycogen and water because you keep trying to change things instead of staying the course, eating at a properly managed, disciplined caloric deficit, and exercising (ideally lifting weights).
There is no such thing as "too poor for the gym". Try harder.
>>37313522
>Starved myself eating only a can of tuna and an apple a day for a month and some. I binged back up to 300 lbs.
Well I hope you learned your fucking lesson. And I hope to GOD you came here on /fit/ first and posted about how you were going to starve yourself to success and we all told you what an idiotic idea that was and told you to come back in 3 months when you failed.
>>37313522
You went from 300 lbs in April to 220 lbs now?
Sounds like the weight loss was a success. Start going to the gym, you're still going to look like shit because you've got a lot of loose skin.
>>37313440
YMCA or city community center should have weights and is free or super-low cost. You still have fat and that means calories in > calories used, you've got a calculation mistake somewhere. Did you figure the calories in your macros correctly and are you avoiding white starches in your carb macro in favor of more nutrition-packed veg?
>>37313544
No I never came onto fit until after I decided to be an idiot and starve myself. When I came onto fit I read the sticky and decided to stick with a ketogenic diet but I haven't seen any progress in recent weeks.
>>37313522
So first you eat on a deficit but fucking junk food.
And then you eat Auschwitz mode completely starving yourself.
Your body doesn't like this anon. Which reflects in your disgusting skin health and absolute terrible body composition.
Before you start losing weight, you should learn what healthy eating actually is. Once you got that under control, eat 10% less of said healthy food than you would daily require, be consistent for 2 years and then come back to us for beginner advice.
>>37313374
You're eating so little your body goes into starvation mode. It literally thinks it's World War 3 out there, thats how badly you treat it. Then when you finally up the food intake, your body will cling to every bit of energy desperately and store it as fat, because the next Hungerwinter is probably just around the corner.
>>37313587
I know what healthy eating is, believe me I do understand after fucking my body up so much.
I just recently stopped making and progress and wanted to know.
Should I keep eating at my shitty version of a keto diet, or bulk up trying to eat to my BMR then retry to lose weight after attempting to help my metabolism correct itself
Don't give up anon and keep on fighting haha.

You can get some cheap versions of this stuff for 30-40 bucks
I use these at the gym sometimes - when I went camping for a week a lot of these exercises I did with some rope/tie downs I had in my truck
Also jump rope/body weight exercises
You can get in pretty OK shape for free or on a budget, a gym is just the next level of fit
>>37313440
go to ghettogym instead, it's free.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4dR93bFXZ4
Inhabitants should be sympathetic. Bonus: if you're a whimp they'll probably scare the fat off of you.
>>37313625
don't bulk. Don't go from one stupid idea to the next every few months.
eat maintenance, get your broteins and exercise. Go swim if you want cardio, but generally you really look like you should go for picking up and putting down weights until you get tired and increasing the weight as it takes longer to get tired.
also your body has a really weird shape around/over the hips. are you wearing boxers 1-2 sizes too small?!
>>37314194
I wear boxers and pants too big for me most days, like I said, I still dropped nearly 100lbs.
You might have shitty metabolism, focus on building muscle by eating food around 2500cal and go ham in the gym. Focus on weight lifting and do 30~40min cardio.
>>37314219
Yeah that's what I've decided. Now the issue is finding a cheap enough gym
this
Man, you probably killed your muscle and metabolism doing this
You're like one of those biggest loser people who will gain it back
So, start eating healthy and an actual amount of food, take the hit, cause you'll gain weight, then drop it over time
actually exercise too
>>37314294
Yeah I've realized this. I still do have a fair amount of muscle but my metabolism is kill. I spend at least 45 minutes a day jogging/walking along with at home body weight exercises such as lunges, dips, crunches, pushups,oblique twists.
>>37314294
If someone has lowered their metabolism, is there a way to raise it?
>>37314392
Your body adjusts to what you're doing to it
I assume that if you eat normally for awhile your body will adjust
I'm just frustrated and if I'm still gonna look like shit losing weight then maybe I should just go back to eating like shit all the time. I'd probably be happier.
>>37314484
Do what you want, but when you get these feels again you're gonna wish you didn't quit
Don't be a quitter
i love cocks
>>37314524
>>37314484
You're not OP. Nice try. I'm OP. I wouldn't give up that easily. I'm going to lsiten to everyones advice.
>>37313374
Sorry OP, i think your dingus around blue lines.
>>37315292
A bit bigger. 4 inches or so flaccid.
>>37313374
It's just the lighting, bro. Don't worry, you're going to make it.

This, you can burn 400-500kcal daily on cardio alone.

How many CALORIES is that?
>>37315367
>5kx5k
OH SHIT NIGGER WHAT ARE YOU DOING
>>37315367
>>37315378
This is the most I think I could possibly eat. Anything more to me is crazy.
>>37315378
It's the default pixlr setting when I "collage" the images side by side
is there actually a such thing as starvation mode or could i just cut at 1k deficit for a few weeks (4-5) instead of being a cuck for 2 months
?
>>37315367
you're eating ~500cal a day?
>>37315388
Do you have a chicken scale?
>>37315422
Starvation mode is real
You can cut at 1k deficit depending on how fat you are and how much muscle you wanna lose
>>37315428
I meant kitchen, too hungry right now
>>37315422
Staravation mode is a myth, unless you are talking about actual starvation
What is real is adaptive thermogenesis, but you'd be fine off 1k so long as you lift
>>37315431
Starvstion mode is a meme and not real
Fuckin fit and your broscience man
>>37315443
>>37315452
thx brahs
>>37315441
Yeah I have a kitchen scale
>>37313374
i look almost the same as you but 1/2/3.5/4.25.
>Thanks Mark.
>>37315452
Uh.. what is starvation mode in your mind?
>>37313374
jesus, wear loser fitting underwear dingus
>>37313374
So you been eatin 900 kcal for HOW long and you gained how much weight?
>>37313374
It's possible that your body is more efficient at taking in nutrients than your average person. I would recommend just eating less calories, even if that means changing your diet entirely.
If not that, a better option would simply be to start doing more cardio. Better yourself in terms of jogging/running.
>>37315482
not him, but it's not real, clearly
there is no such thing as metabolic damage
lmao you have a huge ass stomach, you don't eat 500 calories a day you fat fuck
stop lying to yourself
you probably stuff your mouth with cookies pizza and cake on the weekends and eat 5k+ calories to make up for that starvation :)
>>37313374
Obivously your tdee is lower than you think and you are not programming your lifting correctly to prevent fat gain
>>37313460
There is some varation in caloric need between individuals of the same size. Eat less if you aren't seeing results with the calculator.
>>37315521

that or he's an alcoholic
>>37314313
45 minutes with how many breaks between sets???
J-O-G
>>37315521
>>37315526
I didn't think I ate that little either that's why I panicked. I was guessing I was eating along 1800 calories.
And I do not drink alcohol.
>>37315367
> Skittles
>>37315540
Don't worry, bruh
you eat way more than that
>>37315534
I jog and lose breath after a couple minutes, take a 15-30 second break and continue repeating until I'm done.

Also no. I don't ever binge anymore. No social life to put worry onto me and I'm poor so I can't even afford it. I have been losing weight but it just stunted recently and I haven't seen any change.
>>37313374
People seem to believe there is a set "number" that is deemed acceptable for how many cals a person eats, although this is quite false, different people will have different requirements, hence 1700 would be low for me but not for you.
>>37315583
Idk. Every time I asked for advice on /fit/I got
>Read the sticky so I did and I just ended up following scooby's calculator
>>37315657
Dude...Scooby's calculator is a little off. Just exercise your ass off, by lifting heavy, and doing cardio. And eat at a 400 calorie deficit. It is slow, but progress WILL happen. I have lost 18 lbs since January, and actually kept most of my muscle (my stats are staying about the same)
you can do it.
>>37315707
I've lost nearly 100lbs since the beginning of the year though there was a time I gained some back up so I had to restart.
I thought I now have the nutrition down so all I need to do is up the amount of exercise
>>37315720
Your a savage. Keep up the hard work man! You're well on your way to being healthy! I too, am a recovering fatty. Not nearly as much progress as you've made though. Motivational! Pic unrelated
>>37315720
Okay man, a few things.
First off, GOOD FUCKING JOB. Losing 100 lbs is a serious accomplishment.
Seond, Judging from your OP pic, you have more weight to lose man. Once you lose more, it will be lost in you face too, and you will be happier with results.
Also, you don't have to do this, but I suggest you keep clean shaven, at all times, because you can't grow a beard just yet. Also, work on you self confidence mother fucker, your file name makes me cringe.
>>37315720
You still have more weight to loose
how tall are you anyway
>>37315838
6'3 or 6'4.
I'm 220 lbs about 21% bf?
So at least 30 lbs more to lose.
>>37315927
judging from your pic, I'd say you are more 24-26% BF right now.
>>37315965
I honestly wouldn't be able to say by looking. Got my /fit/ friend to take a guess and that's what he said. Also did some thing on bodybuilding.com and that was what I got back.
But I'd rather trust you so okay.
26% bf it is
>>37315927
You got a bit more to lose than just 30lbs. You need to start lifting. Muscle alone burns calories, let alone the work you have to put in to gain that muscle.
>>37316099
As soon as I get enough money I plan on going to the gym.
The only one around here that doesn't seem shady is golds gym. Which is expensive af though. The price of the gym just makes me nervous by spending so much money. I know it's worth it though.
>>37313460
Dude, if I ate what Scooby told me, I'd be riding on a scooter right now.
See what works for you, eat healthy, weigh everything, document it, go lower if you need to. There's dirt cheap gyms in most countries, too.
>>37316190
I don't know man. In my area of Canada I haven't been able to find a nice cheap gym. Cheapest is like 20$ biweekly
