Currently cutting.
175g soy chicken w/ salad, ~400-500 calories
What have you had today? Cutting? Bulking? Maintaining?
>soy chicken
Cutting, literally 1 egg with 20 grams of turkey, an orange and 2 oz of tuna for the whole day.
I already had my egg + turkey will eat the orange around 10 am then go to bed at 12 wake up at 9pm and eat the tuna around 11pm.
Repeat for as many days as possible.

Goodbye gains

><1000kcal budget
How about doing something proper like a 500 deficit instead of doing a "boohooo I'm so fat I need to starve myself" which will inevitably just result in your fat ass giving up in two weeks and ganing all your lost muscle weight in fat?
>>36629370
dude just do a 500 calorie deficit, that's too much.
Soy chicken?
>>36629380
Don't have any to begin with.

>>36629582
I tried I was using my fitness pal before which set my goal to 1200 calories a day which is still more than 500 deficit, I gained 5 kg... in 3 weeks.
>>36629370
What app is that?
>>36629613
That's because you cheated. If you're not a midget you can't eat 1200kcal/day and not lose weight. Maybe you're just trolling though, hope so.
gonna start cutting today want to go from 285 to 200 going for a goal of 750 calorie deficit a day, going to try to keep a high protein diet, just got the lose it app hopong if i stick to it ill see results

Lose it!
Way easier to use than myfitnesspal, looks prettier and you have more freedom to play around with your calories intake, mfp won't let you go anywhere beneath 1200 a day.
The only down side is that the food data base is not as extensive but you can collaborate and add foods so other people can use it or keep it private and unlike mfp you have to have premium to link your fitbit or similar devices.

I'm 5'8 definitely a manlet but not a midget. I talked to some ppl that supposedly know about fitness and they told me that I gained weight because my metabolism got slower because of my "holocaust diet" as they call it.
Second day of my cut. Local time is 15:35. I've had a typical English breakfast (4 rashers of bacon, 4 scrambled eggs, 1 tin of baked beans) and a protein shake, coming in at ~1100 calories. Just about to fire up the pan for a quick bit of mackerel and rice, taking me to ~1500 and leaving 1000 cals for dinner tonight. Feeling pretty optimistic.
>tfw second weigh in this morning read 0.8kg higher than yesterday because weight fluctuations
>counting calories
>not just eating with the /fit/ diet tl;dr until you're full while lifting heavy weights
I had my 2kg oatmeal like every morning for the past 8 months and for lunch I had whole wheat pasta with eggs, avocado pesto and meatballs.
Usually I have a second breakfast on the weekends consisting of whole wheat bread and eggs but not this time

This lifestyle is fun until you realize you're a fat fuck.
>>36629757
Then you're not doing it right
>>36629738
That looks fucking joocy mate, I'm jealous.
Autistically counting your calories helps ensure your weight goals are met. Cut/bulk cycles are your friend.
I ate a whole box of these... i fucked up my cut so bad

>soy chicken
what's that made of? doesn't look like tvp. is it any good?
>>36630075
Very very good. 20g protein/100g, and completely vegan. Made out of 85% soy protein, the rest is various veggies. Tastes like hot chili & herbs. Better than chicken, imo.
Morning: Oatmeal with Protein powder, Peanut butter, and cinnamon
Lunch: Brown Rice mixed with leftover turkey patty. Added spinach, butter, and Cayenne pepper
Possible din: Whole wheat Linguine with mozzarella sauce and spinach.
Around 1200~ cal for the day.

>I talked to some ppl that supposedly know about fitness and they told me that I gained weight because my metabolism got slower because of my "holocaust diet" as they call it.
They don't know anything about fitness and at a real 1200kcal deficit you can't gain weight as a non-midget. It's physically impossible.
>>36630366
Unless you count calories and have very small sized portions I very much doubt that's just 1200kcal.
Oatmeal 400kcal, PB and PP add 300, 700kcal.
Brown rice + turkey + butter, at least 500kcal.
Linguine + mozarella sauce, at least 500kcal.
And that's for medium to smallish sized portions. You should skip all those calorie dense foods: peanut butter, butter on rice, and mozarella sauce. Cutting that out would alone bring you down to around 1200.
tfw can't eat meat without some protein (rice, potatoes ,buckwheat, peas etc)
>cutting
>200lbs or so down from a lot more
>tfw every 30-40lbs or so your stomach actually gets bigger, proportionally, than the rest of your body, because the weight is coming off of everywhere else
>tfw you end up feeling fatter than ever even though you're literally the thinnest you've ever been in your adult life
when does it end
>>36632542
Go to bed, anon. You're drunk.
I bulked so hard to escape from skinnyfat mode that now I have to do a very restrictive cut to have the muscles actually showing. I'm trying to keep myself around 1500kcal a day or lower and it's being miserably and painfully slow.
Sometimes I get the urges to order the greasiest pizza available at dominos everyday, fuck my shit up and go the powerlifter route but then I remember I want to live past 50 with my knees and hips in their place. The only thing that keeps me going until I get somewhat visible abs are normies noticing the weight loss.
Started my mini cut today
>2 serving Greek yogurt
>black coffee w/ 1 scoop choco protein
>8 oz steak
>kind bar
>apple
~1k cal, still got another meal
cutting
bfast: oatmeal + pb2 chocolate (ranges from ~330-460 kcal depending on oats)
lunch: 9oz chicken, 1tbsp low calorie caesar dressing, salad mix (~400 kcal)
dinner: usually either 6oz sirloin tip or top round steak with roasted brussel sprouts or green beans. Ranges from 350 to 650 calories depending on steak and sides (tri-tip sirloin is less calorie dense and the brussel sprouts require 1tbsp of olive oil when cooking)
dessert/before bed: another bowl of oats similiar to breakfast.
Snacks usually include cottage cheese or a granola bar sometime in the day. Other days i may replace my oatmeal with a protein shake.
end up around ~1800 calories a day.
