/cut/ - cutting general

How do you lift on a cut? I only know how to overload progressively. Apparently on a cut you're supposed to deload? Like, linear regression? Any programs for that?

I don't really change my lifting patterns for cutting. Didn't think it made a difference as long as you at least maintain your lifts.

Cutting 101 for faggots:

>obviously have a very strict diet consisting of mainly vegetables and lean meat
>do 12-15 reps range
>gauge your cut with calorie intake and the amount of cardio you do.

Tired of cut and bulk.
I wanna recomp until I am down to 10% from 26%.
Also want to try to eat moderate carb, how to do it if you only have 20€ a week and have lactose intolerance?
My TDEE seems to be 2360kcals.

I think the cut/bulk cycles are essential to gain good mass. Your body slowly adjusts to your diet over time. While you cut you bring your basic metabolic rate (BMR) down as your body adjusts to the lack of calories its receiving. Then you hit it with a bulk, and you are eating 3000-3500 calories while your BMR is low, allowing you to put on good mass.

was going good today until I ate the 200g of chicken which made me feel really tired for some reason and also nauseous

had to eat a rice cake to make myself feel better

forgot picture

looks good bro keep it up.
what software is this?

not basic metabolic rate, BASAL metabolic rate. Whoops.

Just don't push yourself, but I have no problems moving the same weights on a cut

>maintain your lifts
>the same weights

So basically I'm supposed to stall on a cut?

If you're a noob lifter you can still make progress as long as you get plenty of protein

Otherwise yeah stall and/or very slow progress

I'm just saying don't push yourself for fast progess as you would on a bulk cycle

I try for new PR everytime I'm in the gym on a bulk, doing that on a cut would be unproductive

actually I did just eat another meal to try the the protein content up, so this is today.

It's really hard to eat high protein and low calorie as a vegetarian. Anyone have any suggested foods? Quorn mince is the best I've found with 15g protein for 90 calories, and without much carbs or fat.

Quark!

We have Magerquark in Germany (literally slimquark)
250g have 30g protein and 10g carbs, 165kcal total.
Costs 35c per package

Lentils, Quinoa, Beans

They all have pretty high carb content though. Looking to get my proportions better with some high protein low carb foods but I guess that's the price I pay

chicken

what's more important, muh feelings or gains?

Went to the gym and then friends wanted to meet, had a burger at mcdonalds (without fries and cola) but I already feel bad about it.

At least I walked for at least 4 hours after that so might be in the clear, but I'm just gonna drink tea until tomorrow

I'm not gonna start the vegetarianism debate, I'm asking what vegetarian options are.

Seitan

One does not exclude the other

I had a single red vine at work it's over for me.

I'm new to cutting. Say I wanna be eating 1300 calories a day, and I do 20 mins of HIIT 4 times a a week (as usual) which burns 200 calories a go. On the days that I do HIIT, do I wanna eat 1500 calories a day?

sorry if this is a stupid question.

It's up to you, eat those calories if you want but know that you'll lose it faster if you don't eat them

Texturized Vegetable Protein (or dried Soy/Soya), Tofu, Tempeh, a lot of may substitute products from Gardein and Live Strong, you can use Nutritional Yeast on top of virtually anything to maximize protein intake.

theres no muscle to lose, so just cut away.

nutritional yeast is expensive as fuck for what it gives
