WATCH THOSE CALS
what is your daily cal?
>>37728893
2 packets of oatmeal-400
number 2 from chik-fil-a 1200
1 scoop of protein shit-100
that puts me at a 700 deficit.
>>37728893
If its a rest day, about 2600, on a day with the gym + hockey, more around 3700 or so. I use Cronometer so I try to hit a 500 calorie surplus, and that target changes from day to day
800 on a cut right now.
>>37728893
2490 maintenance
>>37728893
I stop eating when I'm no longer hungry.
500 cal deficit.
So about 1,600
>>37728893
unlimited bulk
Should be at 2k for cut, but usually go over. Fit bit says I burn about 4K a day so I guess it's not to bad if I get 3k.

i've been shitting blood though so i haven't been counting for about a week
1600 cals a day, 330 pound fatass here
>>37730095
I'm -3500 + and shitting blood too. Fuck internal bleeding i'm gonna look fucking joocy come august
3200 calories is my TDEE.
I don't count calories though. I just estimate and eat high protein foods and the rest clean and unprocessed foods. Seems to work for me.

1700 on a 500calorie cut
Im 22, 140lb,5'7 with a job that requires being on my feet and lifting 10-50 lb shit for 8 hours a day.
And I do bodyweight workouts 6 days a week
Should I be cutting lower? Sometimes I feel i estimated my TDEE too high because sometimes I feel like the last but of fat on my abdomen isn't changing at all.
>>37730164
Generally belly fat is the last to go since it's the first place men store fat
2650
But I almost never reach it, not that I couldn't, former fatass that I am, I just never could have predicted how satisfying seeing a deficit could look at the end of the day.
The bigger the deficit, the better the feeling.
Now I'm some kind of dyel sorta-flabby, kinda-vascular partial skeleton with centaur legs from all the cardio.
Fuck, I've got to make some changes.
>>37729627
This is the correct answer
>>37728893
1600
Cutting and on day 3.
This is hard :^(
>>37728893
4000kcal desu senpai
thats life when 6'5" bulking
>>37730183
I realize that
I've only been cutting and working out for about a month, just cutting for two months. I just want to be able to bulk by the fall.
2250, and that's just the max allowed. I usually get about 1800-2000 daily, or more if I've been working/working out (my job keeps me walking around a lot)
Lost 20lbs in 60~ days thanks to counting cals and doing cardio. Now it's time to lift.
>>37730277
Well, if you "sometimes" feel you overestimated your TDEE, you're probably fine
But if you really see no progress you can always try to cut down a little more, it won't kill you
>>37730215
i feel you senpai
so many shirataki noodles
fuck
>>37728893
Bulking on 3700 kcal / day. Damn does it feel good to not be a manlet
2300-2500 on a cut.
Eternally cutting
1200-1400
>>37730387
More like eternally starving. Knock that shit off.
>>37730225
fuck man, I'm right there with you. So hard to eat this much every day
>>37730342
not knocking shirataki noodles, which are delicious, but why not just eat more vegetables
>>37730428
Veggies are for the gays.
>>37728893
Bulking on 2,700 cal
>>37730428
I like veggies but jist gotta change shit up sometimes, otherwise id never make it on a cut
>>37730474
Lemme guess, 5'9, 170-180lbs?
Maybe someone here can help me, I'm a bit of a beginner who needs to cut some weight, would it be better to cut weight and then start lifting or start lifting while cutting?
>>37730497
Combine them. Lifting helps lose weight, which will make your cut more effective. It also starts you on getting stronger, which is a bonus for when you want to start bulking.
>>37730405
It's only 800 calories less than my maintenance.
>>37730503
my plan is to cut for the rest of summer while I don't really have any obligations and then start bulking when uni begins again in the fall. I have a home gym I will start doing some stuff at, been doing an SS style thing 3 days a week (a bit modified due to lack of equipment). Been going on like 7 mile walks every other day
thanks for the help

>>37730091
problem with this is ur body is to fucking stupid to know when its full cus it takes time to disguest, so most of the time you will eat over maintance especialy when you have high fat/carb foods
>>37730486
Shot a little high there senpai.
>>37730521
This. Feeling full is a chemical response, not a physical one. It takes time to actually feel full after you get done eating, which is why it's so easy to over eat.
The best advice is to eat slower and drink water frequently during a meal. Eating slower gives your stomach time to tell your brain how full you are.

Macros master race bro. My body gets 0 say in how much and what it gets
why weight and my macros decide everything.
