Eat less on Non traing days? RyanMorgans 7 2 yearsjamiee321 (4): Up to personal preference. I personally reduce my carbs and increase my fats so there isn't really a drop in overall energy intake.
Diet help jflynny17 10 2 yearsjamiee321 (4): I don't really think you need to up your intake as you're already in a surplus. It has only been a few weeks, so you aren't going to see a drastic change in fat/muscle gains in such a short amount of time. If anything, I would be looking at adjusting your current training program. Ensure you are lifting with enough intensity and recovery.

Diet advice Read pls jflynny17 6 3 yearsjostrosky (346): I was going by what you intake now. i typically go with 1.15 gram/lb of body weight so its a little more . you can adjust and take off 15-20gram of protein and move it over to your carbs because they are both 4 calories per gram or you can take it from protein and move to fat but fat is 9 calories per gram so only a couple grams of fat
Extra Cardio when Cutting? CaptainKanter 2 3 yearsFiremanSi (42408): Ur goal when dieting is tonne eating as much as U can while doing as little cardio initially as U can. Ur paying to much attention to ur peri nutrition which won't matter too much in the long term for u. Drop back to maintenance calls for a week see how u are. Too much cardio can increase ur chance of loosing muscle while in the deficit. I wouldn't be worry about cardio just yet. What u can do though is increase ur NEAT which won't have too many...

BULK jflynny17 4 3 yearsJsn3004 (3265): I would reduce your fats and put them in the range of 20-28 percent of your calories. If i'm not mistaken you said your calories for bulking are 3,863. 3863* 20 percent=773 773/9=86 grams of fat. 3863* 28 percent= 1082 1082/9=120 grams of fat. Now you can choose to have anywhere from 86-120 grams of fat a day. To figure out your carbs you need to figure out how many calories you are consuming from fat and protein. Lets say you decide to...

My cutting diet (Looking for advices) Jeffr 7 3 yearsSOLARSUPLEX (8314): Yes assuming you don't have any mood issues. Fats are important for hormonal balancing in the body. I would always favor carbs over fats unless it affects you negatively. Try it for a few weeks and report back with overall mood energy levels.
16 year old natty or no? ;) MarcoMacias 25 3 yearsSalokin (877): @Jsn3004 its so sad to see someone so young already going down the easy road and being such a db while doing it. There are so many good people and so much good info on this forum and he'll benefit from none of it if he stays like he is.
Macros for cutting VictoriaAlexis1 4 3 yearsWest165 (574): Do a bit of research on leptin and refeeed days. Your body is probably getting used to the drop in calories. 450 calories under isn't as bad as I thought it would be, 1400 calories just seemed a bit low. Then again I'm 60+lbs heavier lol.
Cutting for 5 months with no huge changes tman87 13 3 yearstman87 (4): That's what I'm afraid of. I do want to bulk but I don't want to do it with +10% bf because I don't want to add fat on top of fat. And you could be right about losing the water weight fast. My first week I lost about 4 lbs.

Would this work? acoble02 2 3 yearsNorIda (46958): Why don't you acknowledge the eating problem you have. Eat smaller amounts of the servings you're already eating. Or you know, stop eating like crap on the weekends. You can't out train a shitty diet.

GF's long time cut and impaired metabolism? JaakkoKK 2 3 yearsNorIda (46958): Without going on too much of a rant, slowly increase calories. in this case, slowly introduce carbs. Read the sticky thread up top, carbs are your friend. I did this with my wife, it's doable, now she out lifts most dudes in our gym
Please help me Benchify 2 3 yearsJsn3004 (3265): Start bulking. Everyone on this forum will tell you to bulk. You're 150 and still want to lean out? If you keep cutting you're going to look like you don't lift. 2,000 calories is very low and you already mentioned that you're increasing your cardio. And stop program hoping. Stick to one program.
Should I change my macros? tman87 7 3 yearsjostrosky (346): You could for a couple of weeks and see how your body reacts. But don't drop carbs
Please critiq/help w 1st official lean bulk anteis99 9 3 yearseknight (58109): If you don't believe in IIFYM, why are you bothering with macros at all? That doesn't make sense.

new to macro's..advice sought alibongo78 4 3 yearseknight (58109): Well part of the issue is that your overall kcals are too low. At your current weight, attempting to lose 2 pounds per week is not reasonable, optimal, or likely healthy. I'd revisit the BMR calculator from MuscleandStrength in the FAQ, use moderately active as your activity level, and start with a deficit of only 300-400 kcals. As it is, you're starting so low, you have nowhere to go, and you're not consuming enough carbs to function. In the...

I'll load up on water for 3 days (2-3 gallons of water) zero to 40grams of carbs. thenI'll taper down the water from 1 gallon to 8oz of water 3 days out still no carbs.

Cutting macros Jenrboyle 17 3 yearsFiremanSi (42408): @Jenrboyle NEAT is non-exercise activity thermogenesis it's burning additional calories through moving more and one of the best ways I've found its tracking steps daily especially if ur job doesn't have you mlvng a lot, desk job and such. U can eat more and lose weight when ur daily expenditure is higher absent of gym and HIIT training !!
Ketosis diet Lesj 18 3 yearsdarklight79 (3088): Blame Taubes. Fortunately, Alan Aragorn smacked him around in a debate at some health summit. I would only consider keto/VLCD/psmf when prepping for a serious physique photoshoot during the last week or last few days. Everything else about keto whether SKD, CKD or TKD is just not conducive to muscle gain. Yet we have formerly overweight people who believe they're gaining muscle after the magic keto diet. No shit. Obviously the sudden drop...
Bulk Macros nevermore81 4 4 yearsFiremanSi (42408): @nevermore81 ur 205 and were eating 110protein... probably lost a bit of muscle there in those 50lbs. Personally i like meat in my diet so i tend to stick to the old reliable of 1g/lb of protein 205g in ur case. U shouldn't need much more than 400g carbs unless ur very active during the day. Ur also gonna want to moderately ramp in eating 3500 from 2100, so add 250-400cals every 4-7days and monitor weight gain.

Macros are things that can be tweaked but in general people here advise a 50/30/20 split. There is more info in the faq about that. If you want to get body fat lower you are going to have to track your calories religiously for a while. Getting that knowledge in place is vital. Also i would advise you add in some HIIT intervals a few times a week. Find out your maintenance calories...

Cutting for 3 months after a 4 month bulk? Oslo1234 11 4 yearsHamb0 (2893): I'm not confident that it could all be done in 3 months. For some people, sure, and for others, maybe not. Given that you are in the 150's, its still a significant part of your bodyweight you want to lose yet. Im not saying you'll need a year of cutting to do it, but probably a little more than 3 months, to do i right. What might be an alternative for you, is to cut 10lbs, take a break from the cut, where you'll stay at maintainance (or even...

The hardest thing to see as a trainer is not the obese individual that don’t do a thing about there situation and wonders why they are where they at, but the person who busts their ass in the gym and doesn’t see the results they want/should be seeing.

You don't want to be playing basketball or something with a group of friends and be winded as fuck. Either way cardio can be good if you're going over your calories. If you're bulking on 3,500 calories and you think you went over 1,000 calories, over the next two or three days have 1,000 less calories. Either way it's all about...

Need help clean bulk diet, please critique anteis99 4 4 yearseknight (58109): It looks like a plan. No better or worse than any other plan of similar Kcals and macros. I'd personally blend your PWO protein with your casein and drink them both as a blend. Taking whey and casein separately is sub-optimal. You don't need to eat 6 meals- there's no advantage to it, but if that's your preference then so be it. There's also very little vegetables and fruit. -3X

Pancakes for refeed??? anteis99 17 4 yearsanteis99 (37): @ErickFromOmaha yeah I plan on hoping back to my original cut which consisted of around 300grams of carbs. Right now I'm not dieting for any show but I'm going to Olympia so I'm officially cutting as if I was getting ready for a show. Thats why I'm playing around with different foods or techniques to re-amp my glycogen stores. I only taper my carbs down when I'm doing a show, any tips of foods to fill out thanks for the comment

Macros and calories while cutting Coltonweisbrod 12 4 yearsColtonweisbrod (1): @NaturalBrawn appreciate the input man. I think I got some bad advice and was uneducated early on and it made me biased towards carbs so I'm trying to get out of that mindset and get comfortable with them being much higher.

whats a quality carb during peaking?? anteis99 6 4 yearsFiremanSi (42408): @anteis99 Not sure man, but i notice personally when i did High Carb refeeds during a diet i would wake up looking at my best the next morning and my carbs varied and i just tried to keep the fibre at around 30g max 40g as it's hard to keep low fibre when taking in alot of carbs. But if u wanted to slam some fast acting carbs i'd do it... intra and/or post workout as thats when your body will soak them up best.

Cheat days Beastmode1607 16 5 yearsEat2Trainn247 (2557): The whole concept of a cheat day/meal/week/whatever just screams unhealthy relationship with food.

Weight loss plateau.. SnackIt 26 5 yearsEat2Trainn247 (2557): @SnackIt your thought process is a logical one; however, our metabolism is NOT static, rather it is dynamic. Simply put, it is ever changing. When we spend long periods of time with a low calorie intake, it adapts to that level; thus making it even harder to continue losing weight. There comes a certain point where our body starts to get really uncomfortable at X%BF and it will fight harder and harder to stay at a natural set point it feels it...

The point of the matter is you need to lose overall body fat to lose waist fat. Find your maintenance, cut the cals slowly to a max of 500 deficit, get your macros, train, and sleep. All you need to do.

Losing that stubborn lower belly fat steven0123 9 6 yearsFiremanSi (42408): Ur -600 ALREADY.. i dieted for 41/2months and never really needed to hit -600... i also upped my fats and lowered my carbs towards the end to counter some bitch tantrums and it worked and also help shift that lower belly fat but only cause i was hitting under 11%bf.
Clear up a simple question Hewy007 3 6 yearsadam82a (3100): Not quite true, surplus of carbs barely gets converted into fat (also known as de novo lipogenesis) in humans normally, only a few gram maybe. Dietary fat is stored as fat. A surplus of calories which some are carbs will make the body use the carbs for energy and the fat will be stored as fat. Insulin inhibits the lipolysis (the break down of fatty acids) but not the actual beta oxidation (fat burning) process I believe.

But IIFYM has been a great realisation to debunk alot of myths and I think it has helped alot of people achieve their goals.

The same can be said for HMB, and for the same reason. The thing that holds me back from saying they're a "must have" for everyone is that most people who strength train get enough/more protein than they need, so they have their bases covered.

Thanks for the words, will make it shorter for sure. Don't know what I was thinking, I will cut until definition starts to show and then decide from there, lean bulking sounds tempting :)

Bulking Macros and Routine - Review feedthebair 3 7 yearsfeedthebair (1): I should have put more background into the nutritional side.

There is AAAA Reason why people focus on Daily macros, the biggest reason why is because you need the nutrients for the body to start recovering NOW so you will be ready to your next workout and get most of it.

Net carbs =(-)fiber? Thewasp 4 7 yearseknight (58109): Not entirely true. Insoluble fiber does not provide energy inside the body because we lack the enzymes needed to break it down, thus insoluble contributes 0 kcals per gram. Soluble fiber is partially fermented, at around 2 kcals per gram. OP- In the US, the FDA does not require manufacturers to include insoluble fiber in kcal count on nutrition labels. Accordingly, the general practice within the food industry is not to include insoluble fiber...

Cutting phase coming up soon, diet advice? JangoJamie 4 7 yearseknight (58109): The reason some people say to eat 500 over for bulking, is because they are working backwards from the idea that a pound of fat is 3500 kcals, which equates to 500 below BMR daily. While the same formula can be used for gaining fat, muscle is a different story, and 300 is sufficient for bulking. -3X

I just raised calories to 3700 as I am ramping to bulk calories and 527g are from carbs, although 41g of fibre knocks that down to 486g of carbs...

I totally agree with EK and MrMailliw, stop making it complicated and just experiment with your daily calorie in take until you get a steady and controlled weight loss.
