time to get ready for summer. what do you eat most days? what's your daily calorific intake on average? anyone else doing cardio?
i am around 1700-1800 calories per day, because scooby's calculator says that's my bmr and with cardio and lifting i should be on a daily deficit of around 3-500.
i tend to skip both breakfast and lunch when i cut, that way i can eat a big meal instead of a bunch of smaller meals like a faggot.

>still almost half a year
Yeah, lot of fat fucks and out of shape skellies around here need to start RIGHT NOW to get ready for not just summer but...that's right stupid SPRING BREAK.
what's your height/weight?
scooby's calculator is giving me a way lower TDE than a lot of other calculators (saying 2100 where i've gotten 2600 from health-calc.com
181 cm and 69 kg. it may sound like skeletor weight but i have a lot of excess fat.
i thought scooby's calc was legit, most other tdee calculators i've found gave me a bit lower.
5'6 female, currently around 150lbs. Trying to cut a teeny bit before I bulk up to 69kg weight class (maybe down to 140lb) at 1500 cal a day. Macros are bodyweight in protein, then carb as second highest, then fat. Diet is lots of chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, greel yogo, sweet potato, rice, olive oil, milk, + pb for fatz. Also some whey and creatine of course.
I'm going to start weightlifting soon. I'd rather bulk on a leaner base and keep most of the bulk lean muscle mass, hence the current cut. Better idea than trying to recomp my current bodyweight, right?
Progress has been slow but I'm glad I'm finally close after too many years of fucking around.
Between 2013 and 2016 I would get motivated for about 3-4 months and fall off the wagon either due to peer pressure for late night activities and shit or just get lazy. Lots of yo-yoing between 180 and 200.
I'm on my way, should have my perfect starting weight for a bulk by May as long as I stick to my deficit.
>tfw 30 minutes of LISS followed by 30 minutes of HIIT every day + heavy compounds
>IF + Keto
I am so fucking tired of being between in-shape and out-of-shape. I can do all of this athletic shit but still look flabby. Only have lke 50-60 lbs to go and i just want it fucking gone
if you never lifted before you will first experience noob gains which are for the most part neurological. they usually last for 6-12+ months but that really depends on the individual. during that time you won't gain much muscle, even if you eat at a surplus.
you won't gain much muscle on most low volume beginner programs sure, but if you do some high volume BBing type work after your main sets you can definitely build muscle along with your typical muh 3x5 neurological gains
