Eating "Clean" vs. Caloric Deficit

Fast food macros aren't very accurate or consistent. They get a huge margin of error. Make your own food and you'll be a hell of a lot more precise and no exactly what your eating.

I think you've got a great point here.

I use the app "Lose it" to track everything but I sometimes really wonder how accurate it is.

I am already not consuming any liquid calories so that helps.

Your underestimating your calories.

I am also 6"4 however I am 285 (down from 345) and my weight fluctuates roughly 10 lbs a day from water and eating. I'm always lightest in the morning.

It doesn't matter if you cut out the fast food to drop the water weight because you'll just put it all back on when you start again. Real fat loss occurs when you eat at a deficit and after 3 weeks, if you were tracking things correctly you would have lost weight. Therefore you're not tracking things correctly

ok, here's what you do:
eat 2000 calories and limit your carb intake to max 100 grams a day. going below 50 on days without physical activity would help.
do this for four weeks and then step on your scale.

or just stop eating shit food altogether

>I've been eating at no more than 1700 calories per day
>A deficit of around 1100 calories
>Been eating like this for 3 weeks and haven't lost a pound of weight
Why do you people make these threads? Is it a poor attempt at trying to trick yourself into thinking you actually tried? Or is it just to bait fuckers like me into replying?

Either way, you'll be fat forever and you should end yourself as soon as possible.

As long as you're hitting your minimum fat, protein, and dietary fiber macros you'll be fine.

Some of the downsides to not eating clean though are:

-Lower/unstable energy levels
-Less satiety
-Inaccuracies with tracking calories
-Getting enough protein in without going over your calorie limits (this gets hard as you cut lower since fast food is high in fat and carbs)

Yea i think i've got to start cutting carbs to like 50g per day.

I'm already doing intermittent fasting so when I start eating at like 6pm at night I eat a ton. 1700 calories in one sitting. Then don't eat again until 6pm the next day.

Luckily i'm not that hungry until around 2pm the following day so I just chug water.

I'm also taking Clomid as a Test booster.

Prescribed by my doctor because of super low Test. I was around 120 ng when someone my age 28 years old should be 500-999 easily.

What is your routine? And are you doing cardio?
