you're eating how many cal a day? I am 1000 under and have to hit 2k.

What's the optimal amount of cardio to do to maintain cardiovascular fitness while cutting without impacting my ability to lift heavy? Is this a "how long is a piece of string" type of question?

Male 6'0"

Started around beginning of june or so, was fed up with being fat.

Highest weight was 331.5

Sitting at 263 now.

I was walking about 5-10 miles a day throughout the summer. I worked a physical job, and went on pretty extended walks after I got off.

Didn't really start counting calories until august.

My daily meals vary. I still eat shit, just not nearly as much shit.

I usually eat either breakfast or lunch, never both. Something small like a bowl of oats, or cereal, or a sandwich of bout 350 calories.

Dinner is then whatever the fuck I feel like, seeing as I have betwren 1400 and 1700 calories left to eat if I want to maintain a 1000 calorie cut.

It may not be the best, but it keeps me sane. I hardly ever have actual cheat days, because I eat the stuff I feel like and fit it into my cut. Gonna start walking/running again after christmas at my Uni gym. Haven't been worried about macros too much. I manage to fit roughly 70-90g of protein into my diet on a daily basis without even trying. I'm only concious of carbs when I know I'm going to be eating a lot, because I feel bloated and like shit the next day.

-68 pounds in roughly 5 months AMA I guess

>>39664254
Mirin the 14kg you lost, keep going

>tfw cutting on 2600 calories and starving

at least im starting to look cut. Genetically #blessed with visible abs at high bf%

If I'm a beginner lifter who started at obese and is losing 50 pounds of fat before ever eating at a surplus, is that still considered "cutting"? Or is that just "losing weight" and it's implied that I need to bulk some muscle before I can "cut" down to show it?

If I'm 66kg how many calories should I be cutting at?

>Diet
High protein, high fat, low carb, vegan.

>Progress
Lost 12 kg so far. Started in June.

>Cal intake
1800kcal, at least 120g of protein and 70-90g of good fats, trying to keep carbs at around 100-130 but never over 180g.

>Routine
Greyskull 3x week, running 5k 3x week, 30-40min walk every day.

>Goals
Cut to 10%bf, bulk up until I hit 15%. Repeat forever. I have no idea where I'm at, though, 16-17% I think?

>>39665212
Try different amounts until you find what works. I think at least 1,5 hours per week, but no more than 2,5.

Also matters how you schedule it. Maybe don't run a 10k before or after Leg day, you know?

Lentil soup and a piece of bread all day everyday

Downloaded myfitnesspal like 2 weeks ago. Eating 1500 cal, lost like 2 lb so far.

Doing IF without really counting calories outside of rough estimates based on how hungry I am, managed to lose 12kg while keeping lifts steady

I really though intermittent fasting was a meme but it's worked a fucking charm, cutting is something I just haven't been able to properly do until now

Not him, but I kept eating around 1700cal a day and not losing weight. Fitbit (lel) says I'm burning around 2500 cal/day, but I don't trust it so I aim for around 1300-1400 cal.

>>39669874
That was exactly what I used to get to 1900..

>>39665256
Your goal should be to lose fat, not lose weight. If you're a beginner you can be cutting and still gain muscle because it's all new to your body.

Reminder that if you're cutting under 1500 a day is the golden standard no matter what your weight or height is

Joke is on you!

since earth is a round rock flying without reference, below is a pretty meaningless concept.

My progress:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/photos/view/75073626

I am 5'1ft and 50kg. I want to be around 45kg and fit. Already lost 30kg which is 66lbs.

I use myfitnesspal to track my macros but i am not very strict and I do not often write my workouts on mfp.

I do cardio and weights plus bodyweight training 5 times a week. I have two rest days.

I eat 1600 to 2100kcal a day and lately I tried to eat less carbs except on workout days. I like this because I have more energy when I work out plus I noticed I stopped plateauing. My boyfriend who I only see once every two or three weeks said I lost weight so I am happy yay.

I eat clean and high protein most of the time, quit diary because it is better for my skin and I am often 200 to 400kcal above my max but like I said I am still losing weight. I ate around 1200kcal when I started my weightloss journey, it feels good to lose weight and eat around 2000kcal almost.

I want to become fit and my boyfriend helps me with my routine and form. Buuut I ate a lot this weekend like diary, chocolate and pizza when I was with my bf so now I have to go back to eating clean again. But we did work out together.

I hope my body will look super fit in summer. I already look nice but I am going for the Instagram fitgirl look haha.

>>39664160
Can you tell me more about this?

>>39670557

Fucking Leaf detected.

>>39670647
My routine changes a lot...waiting for a new one now bf makes them for me. I started with many reps low weight now high weights lower reps

Monday:
Squats 8 to 12 times 3 to 4 sets. I am weak so weight is not important haha just do it as heavy as possible.
Walking lunges with a 10kg weight in my hands in front of me 15x3 sometimes 15x4 and i count per step i take.
Donkeykicks (back kicks) 15x3 15x left leg and 15x right leg
Deadlifts same as squats
Standing back kicks with an elastic rope on my foot same as donkeykicks
Mountain climbers 5 times 1 min
Planking 3 times 1 min
Bridges 15x3

Tuesday
Do not have good routine for upper body yet. I do pullups and chinups with a support machine and a body pump class, it has a lot of focus on upper body. Like Overhead Press, skullcrushers etcetera.
Wednesday
Rest
Thursday
Repeat

What I eat is for example
Oats with water, apple, frozen berries, cinnamon and whey or whey banana avocado chia smoothie in the morning.

Lots of veggies like paprika, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, avocado, beans and eggs, peanutbutter, potatoes and sweet potatoes, nuts, tuna, chicken, fish. The veggies always steamed and meat always with seasoning. No pork and no kale because haram desu.

Quinoa, udon noodles, pasta, white basmati rice yumm. No such things like brown rice or whole weat pasta and stuff. Just add a lot of veggies.

I never drink alcohol or soda or yoghurt drinks did not even do that when I was fat. Never eat junkfood except to treat myself after a long period of eating healthy like pizza yesterday with my bf. I sometimes eat chocolate though. I recommend quark and cottage cheese and milk too only reason I do not drink it is because it gave me pimples. If it does not happen to you just eat diary.

>>39670647
Oh forgot yes i cool allll my meals no take outs no microwave food nothing from packages. I am Turkish so I know how to cook fortunately hahaa

>>39670799
What veggies would you add to pasta?

my cutting diet
8 eggs
8 smallish bananas
400g chicken breast
2 whey shakes

i'm 6'6 and maintain at 3000+ though

>>39670845
I hate you

>>39670843
I always add chicken first it is very healthy lots of protein
Veggies could be paprika, zucchini, mushrooms and broccoli. Steam them and never cook them in water. Steaming is simple add a tiiiiiny bit of water to the pan, put veggies in pan, close lid, the tiny bit of water will steam the veggies. It takes 3 to 4 minutes maybe. You can stirfry the veggies afterwards if you want. Just do not use lots of water to cool your veggies you will lose allll the vitamines. You can also look for healthy recipes online like how to make a healthy sauce from tomatoes. Or use a plain sauce from a can or bottle it will not kill you haha.

>>39670886

Forgot to mention the most important thing next to weights...
I did a loooot of HIIT training on the threadmill. HIIT is holy to me and you will lose fat extremely fast and I am talking fat not just water weight or muscle.

Eat half a banana or 10 to 15 nuts or drink a shake with water and whey around one hour before doing HIIT. You will need the energy.

Than do a 20 minute hiit training.
Walk 30 seconds just walk slowly on lv3 or something i do not know if every threadmill uses the same settings.
Than run as hard as you can for 60 minutes on lv 8 or 10. Or whatever settings your threamill has.
Walk 30sec again
Run 60min again
Repeat and after 20min you will sweat a lot and your legs and stomach muscles will feel sore. Drink a lot of water.
Have a cooling down and stretch your legs and calves
Eat a banana afterwards immediately you will need the carbs.

Do this two or three times a week and the fat will leave your body sooo fast. Combine with weightlifting and eating healthy you will notice results in two weeks and you do not have to starve yourself on 1200kcal either.

>>39670988
>HIIT is holy to me and you will lose fat extremely fast

>>39663982
Lost 40kg now, you really don't need to do any sport, just try to eat not too much processed food and too much sugar, also just simple calorie counting is the way. Also going to the gym helps a lot, you can also train muscles and also get lots of beginner muscles even when eating on a calorie def which also help burning more fat, might not be the fastest way but was a good way took me about a year

Does anybody have a simple cutting diet and exercise plan that won't make me lose lean muscle mass?

>Diet
Up until now just focusing on eating less, having more fruits and vegetables. Have to change it up now.

>Cal intake
About 1200 goal but often go a bit above it
>Routine
Cardio every day during my lunch break because I'm lucky enough to have a gym in my building. Need to start incorporating weights.
>Goals
Lose at least another 10 lbs and if I'm looking thin enough I'll focus on muscle. I have the strangest issue with back fat (front generally looks fine but back looks fat as fuck) so that has to go.

Question: is keto any better than other low carb diets? I need to change up my diet for quicker weight loss and I've seen it mentioned a lot here.

I'm officially fat now. 21%bf, so not a whale but I'm over 20% for the first time in like 10 years. Diets gradually gotten worse, been drinking more, and injuries have kept me from working out. But, finally going to be getting back in shape

How quickly can I lose weight? How long is a reasonable goal to get back to ~16%? Is 8 weeks reasonable to go from 21%-16%?

If my tdee is around 2600 and I set my diet to 1600 with 200g of protien and daily training will I be okay? I dropped from 172 over 3 weeks.

>>39672085
You can drop a lot of weight relatively quickly with the right diet.
That's not the problem.
The problem is changing the eating and activity habits and patterns that lead you to getting fat and staying injured with no rehab in the first place.

Was getting heart palpitations last week cutting at -500 kcal per day. I dropped the deficit to 250 and feel a lot better, but I'm obviously losing weight slower than I want to now. What kind of vitamin deficits could cause heart troubles, and what kind of foods should I try to add to my diet to maintain good levels of that vitamin. I currently take a generic Centrum multivitamin daily and vitamin D and that's it. I think I get enough potassium and fish oil regularly in my diet.

I used to get palpitations and was recommended vitamin B.

Getting triggered easily doesn't sound fun, but if I only do keto for a relatively short period of time it won't be too bad. Thanks for the heads up.

Switch to black coffee senpai, Ive come to enjoy it and helps curb appetite

Breafkast: oats with milk (from a sachet), roughly 200kcal

Lunch: 200g chicken + 200g sweet potato with veg (500kcal total?) + sometimes a protein pot or an avocado (+150-300kcal)

Before gym snack: banana or something (like 100kcal)

After gym: Protein shake

Dinner: 200g chicken + 200g sweet potato with veg (500kcal total?)

So total calories around 1800-2000 if I happen to eat anything else in the day.

>Progress: 112kg -> 106kg in 5 weeks.

>Routine: 4x a week bodybuilding split, do 10-15 min cardio after each workout. I hate cardio

>Goals: Get down to 90kg or so.

Any others fatties fought the yoyo effect?

i started on march and by july i had already lost nearl 70 lbs (268 from 335) and i felt amazing, but after a long stay in the hospital and almost dying because a blood infection i guess i just stopped giving a fuck about my diet, got back up to 280 in about 5 months so i got my shit together and after a few weeks of dieting i'm already at 268 again. my goal is to get into the low 200s by march if possible. I'll give it my all bros, i'm glad i snapped out of it before gaining back all the weight like most fatties, we gonn make it.

Can I do those at home? I don't really want to join a gym until I'm at 70kg.

>>39673090
I was never that heavy, but I also struggled with the yoyo effect. I was focused on losing as much weight as quickly as I could. That's a huge mistake. I gained a ton of weight after, more than what I started with.

Focusing on slower but steady weight loss is important. As is not going hungry and enjoying your meals. If you can manage that, you can defeat it. Sounds like your case was more a case of ahitty circumstances. Hopefully you won't deal with yoyoing much more.

Palpitations can be caused by lack of Vitamin B12. Take 100g of sardines every day, you'll have good hair and 150% of your Vitamin B RDA.

>>39673090
The way to overcome yoyo dieting is to remember 3 things when it comes to eating.

1.All diets that won't outright kill you because of how stupid or dangerous they are, work. Every single solitary one. The problem is what you do once your diet is 'over'.

2.You need to change your relationship with not just food, but with eating. An all or nothing starvation diet with veggies 24/7 or cake and icecream binge when "you're not feeling up to it" is not the way to go.
There is NOTHING wrong with eating an unhealthy meal here and there and eating a bit more today AS LONG AS you eat healthier on the next meal and less to compensate the next day. Find a balance.

3.Yoyo dieting is perfectly normal and is even healthy. Your body and mind are going into full feast and famine mode.
The problem is that you don't want to yoyo diet. You probably dont' even like the type of DIET you are doing and want to just be cut/skinny and call it a day and go back to eating shit. That's the problem.

Find your TDEE and eat 20-30% less then that.

wtf is wrong with olive oil, I've been using it as a salad dressing and it has a shitload of kcals...

>Ask Stupid Questions
What role does protein intake play in weight loss?

>>39674120
Name of the game is fat loss, not weight loss. Protein makes muscle stay while burning fat.

>>39663982
Is it it true that if the majority of the calories consumed are from fat, an individual will be able to loose more weight/loose weight faster because it encourages to body to consume fat stores?

>>39663982
How many hours before sleeping should I stop eating? Does it make a difference?

why do people bulk?
is it a side effect of eating a lot for gains, or does being fat help with gains?

>tacos are cooking downstairs and its fucking killing me.

>>39674318
I've heard that but I've never looked into it.
It might be because carbs burn faster dirtier and causes changes in the body that makes it want to store the excess carbs as fat.
Fat is apparently more satiating and you don't have to eat as much of it.

But I could be wrong. Go look it up.

>>39674442
The rule is apparently two.
Mainly because that's how long it takes for the body to break down most of the food you ate and start moving it into your body.
When you sleep it's said that your body becomes sluggish and the food just sits there. Unless you've been fairly active throughout the day.

>>39674670
To give the body more energy to build muscle mass and eating a lot is said to put the body into an anobolic state where it will build more muscle easily and makes you more energetic. But some people go completely overboard and just get fat as shit.
The dreamerbulk fantasies that are oft shilled by supplement companies and the food industry.

>>39674897
Then eat a fucking taco.
You can get back to to your torturous diet tomorrow.

Few tips from my rather shitty half-assed cutting experience so far:

1. Eat more volume but less calories- make this goal number 1 and you can forget about everything else.
Eating more means you're unlikely to give this up, but eating less calories means you cut. Invariably this means less or no processed foods, and more veg.

2. Meal prep keeps you consistent and makes cal counting easy as piss

3. Stop frying things and learn to steam shit better, it'll cut your calories by up to 20% and it's simple

4. Temperature regulation accounts for something like 60% of our daily calorie expenditure. Wear less clothes and get cold outside more while it's winter

5. Daily household activities are the number 1 way to lose calories for most people according to a couple of studies, even when controlled against gym

Small changes = big differences over time, don't listen to anyone who shits all over the idea

>ate a reasonable breakfast
>have half a pack of mentos I picked up on an errand run

>>39672499
Oh I enjoy it black, too. But for convenience of time I add the creamer to cool it down so I can finish it on the way out the door.
