>Cutting all week
>Reduced calories by 500-700. Staying within that range
>Made it to the 7th day and decided to have a cheat meal with friends
>Calculate my calories and I went over by 4000 calories tonight
What the fuck guys. A weeks worth of cutting ruined in one single meal. Cutting is so dam hard, how do people do this?
Have some goddamn will power
Discipline.
Also that's still better than if you hadn't cut at all and then at 4k.
>26/6
what did he mean by this? it's not june yet........
>>37330357
>Suffer all week in pain from starving myself
>Have one moment of happiness all week briefly
Or
>Brief minor happiness all week
It was not better anon.
>>37330338
don't sweat it, it's in the past.
just keep going man, monitor your weight and keep moving we all go over.
coming from someone who's lost nearly 60 pounds and is still slightly overweight.
>>37330338
how the fuck do you eat 4k calories in a single night
>>37330368
yes it was nigger, if you didn't cut you'd get fatter. Now you've just remained the same.
Learn to cook and every meal you eat will be enjoyable
>>37330368
Is this your first week cutting? I got pretty good at not being hungry all of the time by the beginning of week 3.
A cheat meal does not mean engorging yourself with as much food as you can possibly shove down your gullet. 4000 calories is 4 large meals all on its own, let alone everything else you already ate that day. A cheat meal is like instead of 800 calories for dinner you eat ~1000-1200. There's no way you're hungry after a thousand calorie surplus, you're basically eating your feelings like a woman at that point.

I had 5 drinks, a pizza and desert. Then a kebab on the way home. I was about to have a protein shake when I decided to calculate my meals
>>37330338
>over by 4000 calories
lol
>>37330500
>I had 5 drinks, a pizza and desert. Then a kebab on the way home.
you gotta learn how 2 cheat meal man.
prepare for it by eating perfect. eat your shitty sugar carbs and booze first, and then eat protein and fiber at the end to kill your appetite.
>>37330391
what if i don't enjoy the additional prep work, cooking time, and time cleaning dishu
>>37330500
>Dessert
>Pizza crust
Not even once
>>37330338
By not being bitches.
>>37330338
Bruh ur old and ugly, get out of here.
>>37330786
hardcore my man
>>37330338
>4000 calories....
What the fuck did you even eat
>>37330796
4000 cal is easy.
I weight 170 and I can eat an entire Costco pizza by myself within a good hour.
I could also demolish a whole little ceasars pizza in 30 minutes, and thats 2800 cal. Then just wash it down with 4 beers at 300 cal a piece, and you're right at 4000.
Its not hard.
So never gonna make it general?

>>37330833
Where are you finding 300 calorie beer? Or do you drink pitchers at a time?
>>37330763
>>37330854
Cooking fucking sucks. That's why even moderately wealthy people from ancient times to now had people that cooked for them as a job. Because it is a fucking job.
2 hours for 10 minutes of eating. Its crazy.
>>37330833
>Beer is 300cal a piece
What the fuck, are you telling me i just drank 1500cal tonight?
>>37330763
cook a week of rice, veggies, and meat. that's your food for the week
though it sometimes feels pretty depressing when you realize you're gonna be microwaving every single meal you eat for half a year
>>37330894
http://www.webmd.com/diet/the-truth-about-beer-and-your-belly
> A typical beer has 150 calories
Its not hard.
>>37330930
Calm down, its not that much. Beer belly is still a stereotype for a reason, though.
>>37330925
Again, kys
>>37330938
The question was, "where do you find 300 calorie beer?" not "How many calories does a typical beer have?"
>>37330338
if you like eating big meals do intermittent fasting.

I've had 6 days over out of 24 or so, and I think I'm doing better overall, I started bringing lunch with me to work and drinking soda much less
I usually end up going over if it's a weekend or if I have a dinner out planned or something.
I've been doing home body weight workouts as well, I'm up to 4 pull ups from dead hang, but I haven't started any cardio or anything yet, but I am going to use a city bike on weekends to go on some of the bicycle trails around town.
Am I gonna make it bros? I haven't weighed myself, 'cause I don't own a scale, but I plan on fixing that next month sometime. I've just been really busy with work since I started this whole thing

Alternatively, you could hit a bulk and go Hodor mode.

There is a sandwich in every beer.

I'm a pretty big framed guy, like I'm honestly not fat, just a bit chubby. My rib cage is pretty broad if that's a thing, and I don't have tits. Just a little love handle action, and some stomach fat. I'd like to be more solid vs flabby, but I don't really want to be "skinny".
>>37330973
I personally enjoy a good 7+% craft brew in a tall bottle. Those can hit 300 kcal easy.
>>37330925
lmao

bump for tips/help
>>37330367

>tfw thats about where i started
just broke into the 240s, feels good man
>>37331663
Help with what? You know how to count calories and know how many to aim for. Or at least claim to. The rest is up to you doing it.
>>37331054
>>37330338
cheat meals are okay if you an actual heavy deficit.
>>37331729
what is that and how do I use it?
I did a spreadsheet the other day calories vs maintaining calories and had a deficit of about 7k calories a week I think, which I heard is like 2 pounds estimated to be lost each week
>>37331750
TDEE 3.0 reddit
also look at some of my datapoints. at some points i barely lose weight for an entire week even though i should lose a full kg each week. but then my weight just fucking drops. this has happened like 3 times and i am currently awaiting my next weight drop. its been to long.
>>37331729
Have you been working out much or is it mostly diet?
I see we're comparable in weight so I'm curious.
>>37331840
3 times a week full body workout, length would be about 90 minutes
<pic from start to last week
i lost 2.5kg on my ohp and a rep on my second and third set of bench
Stop with the Reddit pix, for one. Just restart your eating plan. If you're looking for some dramatic story and set of protips, you're going to fail. Only 20% of people succeed at keeping weight off, and they do it because they slowly, permanently change their lives. You have to become the person who would rather go for a hike or max out a deadlift than eat an entire pie.
>>37330385
this, how does one even manage to eat that much.
Smart people don't cut. They add cardio.
Eat at a maintenance level and then exercise a lot. Restricting your calories will fuck you up
>>37334046
>>37333883
no, you're both fucking retards
