Also general cutting thread I guess.
If your piss is dark brown, you have rhabdo. If not, youre just getting used to working out.

Stop cutting for 3-4 daay, eat maintenance. Then do like 1900 cal. one pound per week is sufficient.

to lose a pound of fat you have to burn around 3500-4000 kcal. With about 1500kcal/day you lost 2 pounds a week so with 1900 it may be a bit more than 1 pound. Eat about 150 g protein/day to avoid loss of muscle mass.

Another thing would be: Eat 1500 for 6 days, thenn one day 2500 (lotsa carbs), rinse, repeat.

Yeah. Trying to squeeze a few extra years on.

Is this considered like a cheat day then, or just add a shitton more carbs?
>>42354799
Ive been doing around 120-140g a day.
>Hair loss is super accelerated ever since I started my cut 3 months ago
Is this normal? I'm ready to fucking die when I see a new spot of lost hair every month.

Call it a "refeed" and don't just eat crap at random. Keep it healthy and have carbs for a majority or at least a significant part of the additional 1000 kcal to reload your glycogen deposits and to avoid falling into the metabolic changes of starvation. It also has effects on overall hormonal balance.
Caveat: +1000 kcal are based on the assumption that you have a maintenance around 2500 aka with 2500/day you won't create a deficit for that day.

I can provide an article concerning the topic, although it is in german. But at the bottom of that page there are links to the sources (scientific studies).
