Last year i did ICF 5x5, cutting version. I then managed to gain good muscle and drop weight. I then became a lousy pussy and stopped going I gained 14 kgs (now 93) at 5'11/181cm.
Last 2 months i did the same program, with a deficit of 300-400 calories. But i am still at 93 kgs, my lifts gone up, but my weight didnt drop. I also don't think that what i lose in fat, i make up for in muscle. According to the advanced body-measure thing at the gym, my BF is still 24.8%.
I know 100% sure i count my calories correctly. I weigh my shit, and count and remember everything Havent eaten dirty in 3 weeks.
you're lying to yourself about how much you're eating or how hard you're lifting.
Seriously

If what you say can be believed go to a doctor and ask for a complete blood count, I had a similar problem and got a cbc, turns out I had hypothyroidism, they gave me tiny pills and the weight fell off
Anthony Barnes
I fucking swear
This is what ive eaten today
11 AM: 2 slices of fiberbread. Factory-cut, each slice is 75 kcal = 150 + 1 coffee black = 5 kcal + protein shake = 105 kcal
Was busy all day at school Only drank water untill 8PM
8PM: 200 grams lean beef = 110kcal/100 gram = 220kcal + 700 gram pot of beans and veggies = 60kcal/100 gram = 420 kcal
11PM: 500 gram pack of low-fat quark = 50kcal/100 gram = 250 kcal + 100 gram of canned mandarins and 100 grams of canned pineapple = 60kcal/100 gram = 120 kcal
Today i ate 1270
Yesterday i ate the exact same, except i did the low-fat quark thing twice so that is 1640 kcal
This is what i basically eat every day

You're fucking starving nigga. That's why you're not losing fat. If you weight 93kg in order to lose weight you need to eat 30kcalxKg. And if you train your diet should be %60CH, 20% Proteins and 20% fats.
Justin Ortiz
op is is a binging liar or his thyroid doesnt produce anymore t4 to oxidize stored fat cells
Brody Flores
Try intermittent fasting. Black coffee. Hiit. And water. Lots of water.
Gavin Green
One person says 1500 You say 2700 +/- Website xyz says 2400 Weight thing at gym says 1950
Who to fucking believe?
Justin Martinez
>I know 100% sure i count my calories correctly. No, you don't you retard. >I eat 1600 kcal at the moment >The advanced gym thing says my maintenance kcal is 1980. See, here's the thing you retards need to understand about calories. You cannot accurately measure your intake of calories, nor can you accurately measure its expenditure. Nearly every single food you eat or action you perform, which has calories associated with them, is an estimate. When you say you eat 1600 kcal a day, you could be eating anywhere from 1300-1900. Your maintenance level is also an estimate. Every measurement including calories is a fucking estimate, unless you've literally put burnt food and used that heat to heat up water, then measure the temperature. That being said, there's a fucking reason your dumb ass is told to go to at least a 500 cal deficit when cutting. Not because less than that and you won't lose weight, but because less than that and you're not actually guaranteed to be in a 500 deficit every day. It's an estimate. A deficit of anything under 500 and you're pretty much guaranteed to not lose weight because of how inaccurate calorie measurements are. Your gay post made me very angry.

Isnt that what fucking companies do when they put design the fucking food and test it?
Fucking companies like Nestle (which makes my low-fat quark) have the knowledge to do that
Brandon Perez
youre an idiot
Luke Sullivan
Op, why dont you try eating the same amount of calories each day for 2 weeks and weighing yourself at exactly the same time each day
also dont eat ANYTHING until 2 pm
from there you should be able to calculate your maintenance from how much weight youve lost/gained, and if you follow my advice of not eating until 2pm, you will probably have lost weight
Cameron Carter
Expecting someone on Veeky Forums knowing shit about nutrition.
Nathan Ramirez
More or less.
But that's only the batch they tested to get the numbers. They're allowed about a 25% variance in any given product because it's damn near impossible to get perfect standardisation,
Eli Garcia
That's the average per serving, which is an exact amount. If a serving has, say, 3 grams of a food, it might have 100 calories. But, not every package out of the factory will actually have 3 grams per package. One package might contain 3.5 g, another might contain 2.7 g. Like I said, it's all estimates. >300 calorie deficit lol yeah good luck with that
Eli Allen
We dont have 'per serving' here. Its just per 100grams
So what your telling me that total-factory made shit like Coca Cola is around 25% off on their calories? Lel kek
Blake Adams
There's actually going to be a certain amount of variance even if the packages manage to get exactly the same weight, due to differences in the raw ingredients (it ain't like every germ of wheat or egg or stalk of broccoli or whatever has identical nutritional stats either). It's averages and estimates all the way down.
David Morris
Not really. It's just a guess. They actually fuck up the calorie counts all of the time.
You're right about the estimate...but you're still wrong as fuck about the 500 thing.
The 500 thing is basically bullshit. A pound of fat is not 3500 calories. As a matter of fact, how many calories are needed to make a single pound of fat is different from person to person. For some it's 2500 for others it's 4000. Wonky like that.
And no, you will not continue to lose a pound a week just because you take in "500 calories" less. Some weeks you'll lose two pounds other weeks you'll think you gained a pound because of water retention.
The body is not a perfect system. It's just not.
And 500 calorie deficit for a normal sized woman and a smaller man will make their fucking lives miserable. Going for percentages rather then hard numbers allows people to take in fewer calories/less food and lose weight without being miserable as fuck. Which would keep them on their diet longer and still losing weight at a good pace.
Find your TDEE then slash 20% off of that. I think McDonald wrote about/talked about that but I swear to god I can't remember when and where. Just search his website or youtube for that shit.
Brody Carter
Lmao I didn't even consider the variance in between batches of ingredients. Just sit here and laugh at op for being confused as to why a 300 calorie deficit isn't making him lose weight.
William Butler
-300 calories plus doing ICF and walking aint that bad desu
Wyatt Nguyen
i can see plenty of shit wrong with that sample daily diet >not eating breakfast until 11am >9 hour gap between breakfast and lunch >3 hour gap between lunch and dinner >eating at 11pm, presumably only an hour or two before bed >eating simple carbs right before bed
you need to aim to eat proportionately more calories earlier in the day, since metabolism plummets during sleep. eat breakfast sooner to boost metabolism. eat regularly every 5-6 hours so your body's regulatory system is stable; 3 hours is too short, you're overlapping calories with the previous meal so your body stores excess and 9 hours is too long if you're just going to gorge afterward since your body will likely store fat due to a starvation-prevention instinct. and obviously don't eat right before bed unless its 90% protein and you need it to meet for muscle regen, otherwise it'll go to fat when you sleep
literally just eat 3 square meals (@ calorie target / 3) every 6 hours starting with an early breakfast, and shift your calories towards breakfast/lunch if you can't get a perfect 3-way calorie split

WHAT ABOUT YOUR CONSISTENCY LIFTING? WHAT ABOUT ACCESSORIES? ARE YOU PROGRESSING EVERY WORKOUT?
Ethan Harris
>93kg 5'11 >somehow can't lose weight >claims to count calories correctly my dude I think you might just be retarded
Hunter Evans
I really shouldn't have googled that. I don't know what I expected
Landon Ramirez
Food labels can be wrong bro, just decrease a bit more and you'll start to see progress. 300-400 is a pretty normal error even if you're trying kinda hard to get everything right.
