Lol

Hey dude, why so low on cals?

I'm 6'1", 197lbs, doing 2200 kcal each day. Lift 4-5, cardio days per week.

2200 means I target to lose about a lbs per week, which I'm also doing.

You might not be counting correctly.

>>41446977
how bout your bf %? is it decreasing or what also:

FASTING----DISCPLINE------ROUTINE

Fast for 3days
Feast for 1 day
Fast for 3days
Repeat

Discpline
Eat Healthy
Exercise
Water

Routine
Generate habit

END OF LOOP

Is it truly this easy?

then why cut with -500 kcal if you can do this?

>>41447412
It feels that if I go anything over 2000 I just start gaining. I'm pretty sure my count is close to perfect, I use myfitnesspal to log everything I eat and also weigh every meal.

I'm not a novice to lifting by any means. I've been lifting for 4 years but this is the first time I'm really trying to cut. I played linebacker so a little extra fat didn't hurt but I don't playvanymore so I decided to focus more on aesthetics.

>>41447819
Not sure about bf% but seems like it's staying the same. I've thought about IF, but a 3 day fast seems rip

>>41447831
not easy to follow
/fit just like to glorify the sticky
500kcal is slow as fuck or easily mistake

better go 800 - 100 kcal
but fit always demonize fad diet so read the sticky

>>41447831
You still eat with a deficit on fast days.

>>41447859
you can try IF + Keto but must still on deficit

Slow cuts are meme. Second worst meme on /fit/ behind squats

>>41447819
how the fuck can you have any energy to function let alone workout if you've been fasting for so long?

>>41447863
800-1000kcal *

>>41447886
I bet he is talking about IF.

>>41447904
yeah but that's not IF though. with IF you still eat every day.

>>41447915
you can modify the routine
fast IF + PSMF but must calorie deficit of less than 500kcal

>>41447839
Add 100 calories for everything you input because you're probably wrong.

That's what I did and I was losing 3 pounds a week from 210lbs(6') to 165lbs.

Also make sure you're counting drinks unless you're only drinking water it's easy to forget.

>>41448595
or only black tea or black coffee

>>41448595
Think I'll try that. It's still weird that my gf eats more than I and she is not gaining any weight.

>>41448705
I only drink water and rarely Pepsi Max. Also black coffee every morning.

Wow this is insane to me. Im hard cutting at 5'11'', started at 215 a week ago and now i'm 210. I'm eating ~2300 cal/day

Don't really know what to say dude, if you know your diet is on point. If you don't feel like shit lower your calories more, otherwise I'd say workout harder.

>>41449022
Wow dude did you take a shit or something

>>41449066
I've taken many shits in the past week. I'm sure a lot of it is water weight because i switched from a dirty bulk to a clean cutting diet over the course of ~2 days. On cuts I typically land around 1900 cal/day and 7-10% bf

>>41446977
>I'm currently eating 1500-1700 calories a day

No you're not.

>>41447831
because your brain doesnt function right and you'll be weak for those 3 days

compared to feeling totally fine and losing weight steadily

fasting is a meme and I cant understand how anyone can find it tempting EVEN IF it did work which it doesn't. you'd rather not eat at all for 3 days than go on a 500 calorie deficit? what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>41449128
Yesterday I ate 40g of oats & 200g of quark, 300g of chicken with 500g of noodles and bunch of veggies, protein shake and another 200g of quark. I've been eating pretty much only this every day and I'm sure it can't be much over ~1700kcal.

This might be far-fetched, but could it be possible that since I started lifting again 2 months ago after a year of not working out due to an injury, that I'm gaining back muscle at the same rate as I'm losing fat?

>>41449022
lmao my weight fluctuated 5 lbs daily at least

>>41449022
Damn thats a lot of weight lost

>>41449398
>oats
>noodles
>while cutting
lmao

>>41450285
Why not?

>>41450450
Noodles I do not understand, oats is fine pre workout but you should generally be staying away from carbs

>>41450699
Noodles I just find better than rice and they fit my macros so I thought it wouldn't make a difference

>>41451484
You shouldn't be eating plain rice either my dude

>>41449398
Did you actually measure how much calories those foods had, or are you guesstimating?
I cut at 1800 at like 170 and 5'9 and I lose like 2-3kg of water weight in the first week easily.

>>41452274
Measured and weighd everything. I do have very slow metabolism, if that has anything to do with this.

>>41452177
Well damn what would be a good alternative?

>>41449398
So did you actually measure everything out by how much it has pr 100/g or did you use that retarded per serving measurement?

500g of noddles is a lot of calories in itself, like 300-360 per 100/g.

>>41452920
Most of the other things itt is retarded btw, it's not about eating rice or fasting. This is a numbers game.

>>41452920
Yes measured calories by 100g. The noodles that I eat only have 67kcal/100g.

Jesus Christ /fit/ has gone to shit.

You're already logging measuring everything so you know what to do.

EAT LESS. Cut another 10% from everything you're eating.

Bulking/cutting isn't fucking rocket science meatheads do it everyday. Eat less lose weight. Eat more gain weight.

>>41446977
How are you determining your weight? I bought a scale that tracks my weight and graphs it. I swear, when i look at my weight i feel like it is staying nearly steady over the course of a week or two. When i look at the graph and it tells me my average weight for each week I realize that I am actually losing weight fairly quickly.
