I reached 90% of my daily intake by 10:30am. What the fuck guys.
At 6:30am I had muesli and yogurt which came to 700 calories
1300 calories of spaghetti for lunch
A little snack at 170 calories
So I'm left with like 200 for the next 12 hours. Water in hand.
Am I doing it wrong?
How's everybody else's cuts going?
Dominic Smith
About the same. It's lame. But fuark I like looking lean. Down 15lbs in 4 weeks. Started at 230. Aiming for 180 by Christmas. What app is that?
Henry Cook
Yeah, you need way more protein. Less carbs. Carbs are too easy to eat a shitload of calories without feeling full.
Jack Powell
Yes. The spaghetti fucked you. Edemame spaghetti tastes pretty good and way more protein

Noted, thanks
Bentley Gutierrez
Still living with folks, and they cook nightly, and they aren't very healthy so i'll keep that in mind for when i move
Leo Rodriguez
what's your exercise you do?
I highly doubt you burn 500 calories per day
Xavier Cox
The point of a cut is to take in less than you burn...
Parker Gomez
Pasta is pretty much a no-no on a cut.
You CAN get "shirataki noodles" which are zero calories, but they can be expensive, and you may not like the consistency. They're pretty close, but still different.
Brody Martin
I've been living with my mom, and I don't see a justification to move out yet, so I started hijacking some of the cooking so that I would have more control over my intake. She loves it too.

>mfw cutting at 1200cals for 4.5 months now >mfw started at 169 >mfw wish I could eat at maintenance so my lifts wouldn't suffer so badly, but have to lose this last 10-15lbs first
RIP. It's not too bad though, I've been doing cardio lately to focus on shedding the rest of this weight. Can't wait to start really focusing on lifting and eating my maintenance though.
Alexander Wright
I don't understand all you tall men complaining about your cuts.
I'm a girl and i'm purely trying to lose weight fast. I only get to eat 800-1200 calls a day and that lunch for you.
Just get over yourself you baby. Eating a whole box of Kraft Dinner per meal isn't a tough cut.
Side note: Some dyel is sharing my IP and got banne don /soc/ for raiding.
Ethan Hernandez
fucking jesus dude, try eating at that maintenance and you will most likely lose that weight. Don't go from your normal diet to maintenance -500, you're going to fail. Start at maintenance

Does 1500 calories seem too low?
Cooper Anderson
calories of spaghetti for lunch what the fuck
are you eating like 325g?
Jason Collins
I'm 5'9 210 and I'm doing the same
On an eca stack as well
Oliver James
Pasta is great, the trick is not fucking pouring buckets of it down your throat. Just because there is space left in your stomach doesn't mean you need to fill it.
Angel Hall
I did it and I was fine. I ate a lot, but I realized I was eating a lot of empty calories. So many simple carbs and shit fats. Now, I'm eating what MFP says to. It's pretty easy, especially if you drink enough water.
Cooper Sanchez
>1300 calories of spaghetti add vegetables and try to stay around 800 calories for a meal
also 10:30am is pretty early for a lunch unless you're going to bed at 10:00 pm, try to eat the main meal later and eat some fruit/vegetables inbetween so you're not hungry all the time
Ian Rogers
Hey, fuck you guy. I eat spaghetti daily. My only difference between a cut and a bulk is a mass gainer shake and an extra bowl of cereal. 1980cal cut and 3400cal bulk. Pasta is got tier for feeling full for a long time. I eat 1/3lb serving, 780cal. Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt make up most of the protein I need in a day.
Ayden Cook
Who /ec + psmf/ here
Lucas Lee
for example, today breakfast 150 g of marinated meat - 303kcal one third of a napa cabbage - no idea, but since 100g is 15kcal, then let it be 50 to be on the safe side protein shake milk based - around 250 kcal lunch 150 g of marinated meat - 303kcal a tomato - let it be 50 protein shake milk based - around 250 kcal dinner 150 g of marinated meat - 303kcal 100g of green peas - about 100 protein shake milk based - around 250 kcal some peanuts during the day - 250 kcal
total 2100
I am 175cm and 75 kg with tdee of 2050
being taller and heavier than me you should have no problem cutting if you just don't do retarder stuff like eating fucking 1200 kcal of pasta
jeezus
Jaxon Ramirez
Yeah, less than you burn at rest.
Oliver Barnes
>OP whining about staying under 2.7k Fucking easy mode, try having your limit at 1,800.
Robert Parker
You're not taking it seriously if you're eating 1300 calories for lunch, that is absurd user. Eat smaller portions throughout the day if you're cutting.
James Edwards
>tfw TDEE minus 600 is 1550
some days I get enough for a half-portion of a snack
Kevin Russell
>putting moderate exercise into the TDEE calculator Are you an idiot? Is this your first cut? Enjoy losing 1 pound a month at best
Jordan Wilson
It's the booze that gets me. 1800 is frustrating but I can deal with it, then the weekend rolls around and I desperately want to drink with my friends.
Angel Sanchez
>purple eyes what the fuck, is this photoshop? has to be
Blake James
have you never heard of colored contacts
Robert Cook
There's an amazing invention called contacts, user.
Easton Powell
>spaghetti >on a cut
U dun goofed
Bentley Ortiz
On this site, what constitutes moderate exercise? I lift weights three days a week and usually count my running as extra.
Dominic Adams
i'm 6'0, 182lbs and not even trying to cut. you're doing something wrong ,op
Brayden Cooper
what kind of fucking pussy shit advice is this? >eat at maintenence and youll lose weight no nigger the whole point is that youll maintain it
Jonathan Long
Lifting heavy for minimum 1 hour 5 days a week.
At-most, you're light exercise. If you're cutting it should be under your sedentary amount anyhow.
Wyatt Powell
I can do it, I just need to do it right.
1 cup
I was up at 6, but thanks for your advice
Matthew Campbell
Thanks for this! What do you mean by "marinated meat"? Chicken?
Yeah but I was 250+ my whole youth eating 5k or more daily. I like food :(
Well what are you saying?
Kayden Young
Which page/app is that?
Mason Ortiz
Thanks for the advice.
Jaxson Edwards
If you're having trouble try intermittent fasting. A lot of the purported hormonal benefits are pretty sketchy at best but a lot of people have success on it for no other reason than it's hard as fuck to overeat in a 6-8 hour window.

thanks pal
Dylan Cruz
im averaging less than 1200 pussies. i dont have time for 4 month cuts
Gabriel Wilson
well, I am lazy and don't like cooking, so I usually buy marinated meat (usually pork or chicken, beef is expensive here), they are usually in the packs of 400-500 g, so it is exactly for 3 meals or a day
if you are not lazy like I am, then you can buy whole meat and add some light dressing after cooking, its even less calories and cancerous chemicals, also cheaper
Blake Nguyen
Enjoy your muscle loss.
Henry Howard
one thing I forgot to mention, this kind of diet lacks fiber, I am thinking of getting some fiber powder as a supplement just try and see what works for you
what I like about stuff like raw salad, tomatoes, cabbage etc - you can eat a lot of this shit and feel full but its so low on calories but you shouldn't eat full because you want your stomach to shrink
Jose Cox
lol do you really believe that? i eat protein and lift every day. my body isnt burning significant muscle its burning the useless fat first
Austin Martinez
>Tdeecalculator.net Is that page reliable?
Brody Gutierrez
I've tried a bunch of different sites and they all give me the same tdee within about 100 calories, so sure.
Jace Brown
This, there are people eating less than 1500 and you don't see them making threads.
Don't eat spaghetti, or eat the right portion, don't snack
Xavier Johnson
Ok, thanks.
Ryan Foster
>tfw averaging less than 1 pussy
Austin Morris

Ayden Morris
Don't act tough. It's still better than my 1100. Goddammit i eat like half a banana for breakfast some small sized protion of food normies would call "diet food" (Today i had a salad without dressing, and one half of a small, cooked sweet potato). For a snack I have 1/4 a cup of almomd milk and for diner 2 hardboiled eggs and 1 tomato with 50g of low cal cottenage cheese on the sides. Before i go to sleep I will eat the other half of my banana. And thats all. To be fair I didnt really plan my food for today so macros might be shit but I have finals and am stressed af.
Also: >tfw you want to stuff your gut with apples but you can't because 1 apple has around 50 cals. Just kill me already. Sometimes i wish I would be statisfied with being a subhuman and just let myself go like all the HAES.
Kevin Martin
I think that's less than 1100 my pal, do you use MFP to track the calories?
