Extreme Dieting

I didn't have strong cravings, but I also used EC (just one dose in the morning) to reduce hunger.

I see, thanks.

even when bulking?
can u explain why?

It will give you a basis you can reevaluate later based on your weight fluctuations

Because calculators aren't accurate. They're meant to be a guideline.
What you should be doing is using a few calculators at sedentary/light, finding the average, and trying that out for ~2 weeks. Then based on your weight gain/loss, recalculate yourself what you need to do.

Try to do minimal calculations unless you had something drastic happen.

Thanks, this helped.
Sometimes when I see my weight hasn't gone down I will feel slightly disheartened especially as I think I have followed a good diet and exercise regime, but you're right.

It's a marathon not a sprint.

ok thanks

I'm on a pretty extreme diet right now.
I eat 1000-1100 kcal a day.
Things I'm eating:
Tuna
Cottage cheese
Spinach
Broccoli
Pickled cucumber
Whey protein powder

I drink about 6 liters a day, about 1/3 of that is broth.
Supplements other than whey are:
Omega 3 (10g ed)
Multivitamin
Creatine mono (4 scoops cmon)
Yohimbine
Caffeine

I only eat solid foods every other day, mostly whey.
Also IF 20:4
Shit is hard but pretty much my last chance in getting the job I want.

Lifting 3 times/week
Cardio is possible right now and I am walking around 10km every day in the morning after taking the yohimbine and caffeine.
Good thing is I once had considerable gains, eventhough I'm in a deficit I am still making progress on my lifts.
