Currently 174 pounds, goal is 140ish pounds by summer, but I'd be happy to even get down to 150.

Hardest thing about cutting isn't the food, necessarily, its cutting out the booze. I like healthy foods; I have a sweet tooth but it's easier to resist than alcohol on weekends at parties.

1400 on cut days, the cutting distracts me from hunger pains, 137-128 in a month

well I do computer work so other than the gym my TDEE isn't super high. calculator put me at about 2300-2400, so I go for 2500 or so.

>>35710612
I've pretty much limited myself to two mixed drinks at each party and maybe a shot or two. Not too bad if it's only once in a while, and it's enough to give me a buzz. Also it's nice to never be the drunkest at the party.

>>35710397
2500-3000/day plus alcohol. skinnyfat. active job. frequent quitter at the weight lifting. mostly junk food.

>>35710677
How often do you go to the gym?

Also FWIW, sitting all day is horrible for you regardless if you go to a gym. You should check out a standing desk that you can adjust so you don't _always_ need to stand, and take a small walk around once per hour.

I work in an office as well with like 90% of my work being done on a computer so I have to force myself to walk around.

>>35710717

pplx2, so 6 days, sometimes 5 if im sore

I dont sit all day but I dont have an active job like say, a waitress/mailman/etc. so I put "sedentary" in the calculator.

im making strength gains while gaining almost no fat at all, so I might be in the recomp range. I dont wanna eat 3k cals, 2500-2750 seems to be the sweet spot.

>>35711092
Lost 40 pounds in 2 months doing 1500 calories and an hour of fairly intense jogging every day. Afterwards I had side pains for about a month because that shit can happen if you lose weight like a crazy person. I thought I had appendicitis at first. It's totally fine now, but I don't want to risk having that happen again

Man, I can't wait until I'm bulking so I can stuff my face everyday.

>>35711384

pretty happy with my body, want to get my chest/delts a little bigger though

but I looked pretty DYEL at 140, body looks way better since I started eating more/lifting more weight: the key is finding a calorie range where you can make strength gains but minimize fat gain. my waist is still the same for example, but my arms, back, chest, and arms have all improved.

the mirror is the best guide imo, scale is just a reference.

4500+, I play basketball everyday for 2-4 hours, plus working out and I'm 6'4

Man, your post couldn't of made me cringe harder if I watched my mom in a bukkake film.

Look up Lyle McDonalds PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast). You will lose just as much weight (similar in calories) but you will look less like shit and likely to have a lot less issues when you go off that shit and eat normally

Calorie counts are pretty similar, maybe even less. But your eating protein and some essential fats, not a ton of carbs (the one macro your body can do without).

Look, we all want you to lose weight (except a few dicks and internet tough guys, see all the FPH threads, so anyway we can have 1 less fat person we'll take it). But you need to do that shit the right way if your going to cut that much.

You need to start building at least some basic healthy eating habits or your just going to balloon up when your done.

400cals of oatmeal in the morning
1000cal lunch of 3 sandwiches
2000cal dinner of pasta
~800 cals of snack candies cakes cookies midnight snacking

Pretty sure I'm fucking up. Fat as fatass (6'2 400) now just fat (280). I can't seem to even want to eat over 1000 calories a day.

I spend about an hour an a half in the gym six days a week mostly doing cardio but lifting as well. I'm only hungry for breakfast really, after that it's a fucking battle to even eat 1000 calories without feeling like puking.

Pretty sure I dun goofed.

>>35711811

Dunno, probably between 5000 and 8000.

>>35711827

Yeah, but I'm concerned about muscle loss at this point. I take fish oil and a multivitamin to supplement what I'm not getting; but I know that this type of eating isn't sustainable for much longer (about five months already).

Calculate your diet better is my advice. Make a good plan and stick to it no matter if you're hungry or not. It'll be better long term, and you'll save some muscle.

Very true, I may need to switch it up too. I've been on keto and that's most likely the problem. It's been effective but god damn, eating this little can't be healthy.

2000 calories is my estimate but I think it's realistically under 1500. Used to be 300 Lbs now just a bit under 250 Lbs.

Keto needs to be short term. I'ts pretty damaging otherwise.

>>35711916
you lift? I'm 5'2 105 lbs and I maintain at about 1700, I do HIIT cardio 3x, usually LISS 1-2x week, and lift heavy 5x weekly. Completely sedentary lifestyle outside of that though, like literally sitting all day. I don't see how you could gain on 1500 unless you're <5 ft or don't exercise at all.

Hopefully a lot, I need to stop being a skeltal

Averaging 1350 for the last two weeks, fucking put on two lbs too. I have to assume it has to do with the fact I quit drinking after a long time of getting shitfaced daily and my is starting to synthesize protein normally again and rebuilding my muscles. Otherwise it makes no sense as my BMR is 1500.

Semi regularly. 6 foot and 93kg.

It's a struggle. Don't want to bulk while already fat.

Probably just need a lot more cardio.

Maintenance is about 3500 due to very active life style. Just to head off the "no it's not!" comments, I lift five times a week, commute to uni and work by bike only, and have a physical labor job. Currently cutting at my BMR of 2100 calories and it's not too bad with the food. The real problem is like >>35710576 said with the booze. I can eat as low as 1500 calories without much issue in ignoring the hunger, but the booze is what gets me. Especially if it's free or I'm bored at home with nothing to do.

>>35714035
Didn't mean to quote that first guy, my bad.

>>35710397
ALL OF THEM

>>35710397
for me I try to get over 3k which is always a struggle. Anything under is a failure and anything over no matter how much over is good. Most ive ever eaten in a day is 4k. skelly for life

5000 calories a day to maintain. Two 1800 calorie shakes a day and the rest in solid food. I'm only 190lbs at 6 foot. Strong fucking ecto I hate it. Something has gotta be wrong with me. Don't give a fuck if you don't believe me.

I'm convinced the stigma around bulimia is entirely based on teenage girls not being able to do anything right.

can someone give me advice on how not to immediately pass out after binge eating a lot of calories?
i have this weight gainer protein powder that i mix into like 40 oz of whole milk and i add some peanut butter usually, and i blend it all together and drink it after i finish working out for maximum gainz
i calculated it once and i typically get like 2000 calories from that alone

but every time i finish the whole 40oz delicious chocolate protein peanut butter cocktail, i literally have to fight to stay conscious
my body starts slowly shutting down while it tries to process all the calories but it sucks because a lot of the time i still have more shit i need to eat to reach my calorie goals
how do fat people even stay conscious after they binge eat?

Around 2000

What the fuck are you talking about? I know you're a manlet, but 2100 isn't even a large BMR.

4k on a bulk 3300 on a cut

>>35714912
You should only really be trying to do one at a time. You're not overweight even if you have some fat on you, you should start bulking and lifting heavy right away. When you feel you have the muscle you want, then cut.

So basically you need to eat more

>>35714947
Eat more. Seriously. You're below suggested calorie intake for people doing no excercise at all. And if you're trying to lift heavy you'll end up feeling like shit and stalling all the time. If you want to gain lean mass - eat more.If you don't believe me - check scooby's calc.

thats why you count whatever your eating...

count your current changes in weight...

compare after a week or so...

eat slightly more if you want to gain
eat slightly less if you want to lose

3k on exercise days 4.2k on rest days. I'm actually at maintenance on this.

Maintenance is almost 3200.
Cutting on 2500 atm tho.

>>35710575

>>35715048
Riiiight. Says the buttmad manlet angrily insisting every other comment that anybody who has a tdee over 2300 is lying.

1300. I'm vegan so that that's a good few kilos of veg.

>>35714577
well its more that people start throwing up at all of their meals, like to the point were they start to starve themselves do to not letting any of their meals reach their stomach. In other words, yes, teenage girls can't get shit right.

>>35715263
Really hope you're cutting

I am 6'2 somewhere around 270 and 280 eating 2000 calories to cut (got on the scale about 3 times yesterday to see if it really changed all that much throughout the day and I weighed 10-+water weights weird man)

>>35715302
Have been since June

>>35714577
It's going to fuck your shit up in the long run, snowflake.

>>35710397
6'1 235 lbs, competitive strength lifter here. I try to eat around 3000 in dense protein packed foods.

>>35710464
are you me?

2800, former fatty. I was on a 2.2k cut until my lifts stalled. This is my first 'bulk' eating clean as fuck, though I don't even think it's a bulk because I do manual labour at work, though lifts aren't stalling anymore I've lost a pound. Going to eat 2800 for a week or two, then go up to 3k. 6'1 and 180lbs

>>35714577
Do you really think that shit doesn't have any effect on the rest of your body? Gloves and mouth guards can protect your vanity but it'll destroy your esophagus, throat, and digestion. Oh and once you throw up daily for 3+ months hf getting insane water retention, like 15-20 lbs worth at a time when you try to stop throwing up. Hope you replace electrolites (not just water) afterwards too or you're literally just as bad as teenage girls

>>35715440
I don't think so.

I'm exfatty, wbu?

>>35714577
Hahah oh man, I actually suffered from bulimia and you may think you're oh so clever, you're actually mostly losing the water weight and electrolytes along with the part of your diner you actually manage to get up. If you keep it up you'll also lose your ability to make yourself throw up. Do you honestly think your insides won't be messed the fuck up after this? You can still stop now. People can die in the blink of an eye from bulimia from complications. My english is shit but hope you get what i mean. That goes to anyone who is doing this. Stop while you can.

Weighed myself and I'm at 175lbs this morning down from 180lbs on Monday. Although some of it was water weight I'm still not bulking. Should I eat 3/3.2k for a slow bulk? I'm really terrified about becoming fat again

I maintain at 3000

>people under 6 feet eating less than 3500 cals

What are Steroids?
What is an active lifestyle?
What is a physically challenging job?

I eat 3500-4000 kcal and based on my weight progression I would say I'm currently at around 3200 maintenance. But then I walk a lot when I'm at work. And I'm on 700mg test per week. And I bike 40 minutes per day on top of my 7 hours of gym per week.

Having a maintenance on 3500 is by no means impossible.

Going in for a cut on monday. Gonna start at 1800 kcal and see what it does for me. Fuck slow cuts.

Cutter here. 2300 cal and 160 g of protein

>>35715902
Fuck I didn't mean to put 5000. I meant 3000. I'm cutting now

>>35716063
Lost 7.5kgs in the last 3.5 weeks. Lots of it water weight, i'm certain, but still feels like progress.

Yourself?

>>35716240
5 lbs (around 2.2kgs) so far. I also been drinking a lot of water and sometimes my weight fluctuates

>>35710397
2100 calories a day

>losing fat at the rate of a pound a month

>>35716258
I'm drinking a lot of water myself (bout 3l a day) since i don't drink anything other then water and coffee. Haven't had any fluctuations, everything is strictly linear. Are you eating too much sodium? It might be a reason you're retaining water.

>>35714929
Well if i eat 3500 my weight isn't moving so...

>>35716287
Probably. I haven't been able to get groceries yet so I've had to resort to some microwaved shit that has quite a bit of sodium.

>>35716267
1400-1700
stuck at 88 kg while doing cardio and lifting 3-4 times a week

>>35716299
I try and stay below 2300mg of sodium a day. Give it a shot, if you can. Avoid canned/preserved foods, don't salt your meals, bout a week or so. See if you get any changes, you should look a bit more "deflated", if you're a fatty like me.

>>35715263
>oils
>nuts
>avocado
>seeds
Pick 4

>>35716320
I'll have to give it a shot. Maybe I should up my water intake also. I don't think I'm being consistent with it

>>35716319
Then you may be eating more than you think.

>>35715466
what weight were you when you stalled?

I eat 2200 and currently at 210 lbs from 270, 6'. Lifts still improving slowly

>>35716354
Fill up a 5l bottle or a gallon bottle bout completly full, keep it at your desk. Or just record how much water you're drinking, if you're using my fitness pal

My maintenance is around 4500 kcal, 191cm, 110kg with an active job. Cutting right now, so around 3500-3800

To the ones with really high maintainance calories.. how do you manage? Wouldn't it be easier to just be at a lower weight and have to eat less? Or am i looking at this from a too skelly dyel viewpoint..

>>35716405
like 2 fucking 3egg omelettes with sum cottage cheese ~500-550 each(amirite), protein shake, and some extra calories from coffee and shit like that should be making somewhere about 1.4-1.6k calories or nah? Ive stripped my diet to literally nothing but this just to make it easy to manage

>>35716501
Once you form the habit its really easy to eat even large amounts of food.
You should try it !

Once you get to 3k+ a day you will discover a whole new power-level and source of energy inside you that goes away when hungry. Its truly magnificent.

>>35716523
How much oil do you add when cooking?
How many calories is your protein shake?
Do you have any cheat meals/days? How bad are they?

You might want to try a >vegan diet. Just don't forget about supplementing vitamin B12 if you're not going to eat fortified foods.
Also I don't know how much cardio you do, but I cycle an hour every day 6-7 days a week at 19-23 mph.

Have been eating anywhere between 3000 to 4000(mostly closer to 3k than 4k) these last three months and have gone from 85-86 to 89-90. Started eating about 2,5k on rest days recently since I don't want to gain that much more right now.

>>35716501
>To the ones with really high maintainance calories.. how do you manage?
I can only speak for myself but I love eating and I love eating huge amounts.

>Wouldn't it be easier to just be at a lower weight and have to eat less?
Why would anyone want to lose weight(permanently, not during a cut)? Most people work out to build muscle, and if you're anywhere near 180cm tall you have to weigh 85kg+ to look big in clothes. That requires some eating if you work out a lot.

>Or am i looking at this from a too skelly dyel viewpoint..
Yes. Most people don't have a problem eating a lot.

>>35712574
I'm way too insecure for anything like that until I finish getting in shape. Still got another 60lbs I'd like to see gone.

>not doing keto for delicious fats

1500-1800 is what i try to do as my calculations told me to. I want to go down but i have heard that it's bad to rush it. I have seen some progress but only 4kg maybe 6 when i check my weight again on monday. (3 weeks in)

Last time i tried to lose weight i basically starved myself om 500-700 kcal's for abit over a month and i lost 15 kg. It was definitely not the right approach.

Slow and steady wins the race iguess.

i'm 1.80 and 140 kg atm.

>>35716793
I'm pretty sure i can handle a tablespoon of sour cream, you autist

>>35710397
1614 calories a day

I eat normally 2k cals. But I make sure I do enough cardio to measure it out to 1.5k cal, after that I do cardio. Losing weight while tightening up.

>>35716948
>not using cottage cheese instead
its like you dont want to make it

>>35710524
>mfw same stats

Ive been lifting for 4yrs and counting cals is second nature for me.

Recently i was asked to track everything for a month by a friend and to my surprise ive been only getting 2k cal at 220 pounds body weight. I should have lost some weight but i actually stalled.

Its only been a month though so im sure in 2 weeks or aomething ill just miraculously lose 4-6 pounds.

>>35716956
that amount every day? what if you are off by 1 kcal

>>35717064
I'm never off by 1 kcal

I'm eating at 75% of my tdee, so about 2000. Is that right for safe cutting or can I do less?

>>35716651
not too much oil, now i substitute that with coconut oil, protein shake is like 95 per scoop and cheat meals are pretty much ridiculous amount of alcohol consumed every weekend and i know for a fact if i drop it it would help but you cant just drop drinking can you

>>35710397
about 2700 on a daily

2500, bulking atm
