Need this protein shake to reach my protein macro which is gonna have me at a 50 caloric surplus. It's barely noon and my stomaching is rumbling again. I have had more than enough fiber today. What is wrong with me Veeky Forums? Is it my metabolism? I'm just tryna get lean
Dominic Campbell
fast in the morning

Dam you are literally killing yourself, I only eat somewhere around 500 calories daily maybe less (not sure how many calories a banana and 1 tomato has) but with hard training I'm losing 1 kg a day, I can only tell you, get a cheat meal eat a lot of shit and go throw up u won't feel the need for those foods afterwards
Jaxson Harris
Correction* I woke up at 4am, drank water on an empty stomach then ate the protein bar at 5am right before the gym So I kind of did fasted for an hour If I'm lifting I need fuel
Andrew Brooks
You're eating too many carbs/fats and not enough protein. Do you even chicken?
Ryan Taylor
How am I killing myself? I'm at 2,110 calories so far. My TDEE is 2,220. I'm just trying to do a 200 deficit but for some reason today I am so hungry.
Jace Rogers
>2 hours later, starving, eat 3 black bean burritos (1140 kcals) what lol
David Morgan
Yes I do chicken on the weekdays. Around 80z.
And yes I've had a lot of carbs today (almost double than usual), but only about 55g fat. I'm only 30g away from my protein macro so far but I'm going to drink a shake soon. Still don't know what's wrong. Is it the carbs?
Hudson Miller
Yep. Still don't know why I'm hungry again.
Also oh god I meant 8oz. Looks like i said 80oz
Joshua Rodriguez
Did you eat a shitload more before? Stomach size adapts and takes time to go down again. Also going slightly under your "filled up" state is much worse for the hunger feeling than even eating nothing at all for a longer duration.
Why not just compensat with additional exercise and eat normally?
Nicholas Phillips
What do you mean I ate a shitload before? Before what?
I gave in and ate another bean burrito and drank my protein shake. I'm now at a 500 cal surplus, and it's only 1pm. Maybe I'll do some HIT later in the day.
>eat normally By that do you mean not cutting? Nah cutting is my goal right now. Been doing 200 calories defs all week. But it's like I got a stomach tape worm over night. Today is weird.
Noah Sanchez
I'm also always hungry, don't know what the fuck is wrong
Dominic Brooks
yeah It's usually calories in and calories out for me. But today is unusual.
Mason Rodriguez
The stomach adapts it's size to the daily intake over the duration of a few months. If you would have eaten a lot more before the difference would be bigger and thus affect your hunger. Say 2.6k -> 2.2k compared to 2.3k -> 2.2k would make a bigger impact
>By that do you mean not cutting? Nah cutting is my goal right now. Been doing 200 calories defs all week. But it's like I got a stomach tape worm over night. Today is weird.
You can either eat less or exercise more. It's a lot more effort doing it with exercise but if eating less ain't working it's the next obvious step. Assuming your normal diet is not to far from your goal it should be doable.
Xavier Collins
Ah I see. Before I just ate until satisfied. Now I'm trying to get 2000 calories daily. So I'm eating less, while exercising more. So maybe I just worked out more than usual today, idk
Kayden Phillips
>tfw cutting on 3k calories and losing 0.6 kg on average each week.
Bentley Roberts
>candy bar >fruit >tortillas these aint helpin. I suggest doing some cardio to up your tdee and how much you can gorge on
Logan Ortiz
>Eat mini wheats carbs >almond milk liquid calories bananas, grapes, oatmeal MORE CARBS >3 black bean burritto Nigger...... more carbs Wow, user, I have no idea why you are so hungry.
Jason Wood
wtf I love being fat now
Ethan Thomas
Less carbs, less snacks, less liquid calories. Cutting on 2200 TDEE means eating a rather low amount of calories. 1500 or so. You should try to hit your macros efficiently and use up the rest of the calories to fill your stomach. Eat stuff with very little calories and a lot of protein, the other macros aren't as crucial (try hitting them at least 3-4 days a week) - you should always try to have 300-400 calories open for fruits and vegetables. You can have 2-3 big salads to satisfy your hunger if you open up this space.
Ian Miller
almond milk has 10g protein per serving with 1g sugar. So not too bad. But yeah you're right
Bet
Kevin Morris
>almond milk has 10g protein per serving with 1g sugar.
Which fucking type are you drinking and how much of it?
On a cut, never drink anything else but water, at least nothing drinkable containing calories.
That way you can get your macros by solid food
Jack Taylor
>On a cut, never drink anything else but water, at least nothing drinkable containing calories. What about tea?
Grayson Ward
>losing 1kg a day, eating 500cal yeah, right
Ayden Howard
Switch to IF for fast. I've been cutting since June and find it much easier to not be hungry when I do 16:8. It helps to keep your LH in check so you don't feel hungry as often, which makes it insanely easier to maintain your deficit
Thomas Powell
it has already been said a bunch of times in the thread, but your diet is not calorie-efficient too much carbs (hunger comes back quickly with carbs), too much fat (high calorie) change your diet, you'll be better I fast in the morning, but that's not adapted to your lifestyle. I guess you go to bed early since you wake up at 4 on a normal day - one meal at 5 in the morning (coffee, greek yogurt, fruits except banana, maybe scrambled eggs) = kickstart with a bit of fat and energy for the workout - one meal at 12pm (rice and chicken) = energy for the afternoon - one meal at 7pm (eggs and veggies) = light dinner for good sleep digestion balanced diet, filling and you'll keep going like a champ you'll be good with this
Charles White
Tea is great, I drink Hot tea or coffee to help curb my appetite. Learn to drink them with very little sugar/cream or none at all.
Adrian Watson
>eat processed carbohydrate heavy crap and the worst fruits >wonder why you are hungry
your biggest issues is that you are dumb as shit
Jordan Adams
It's called orgain organic protein almond milk. That's the only exception I drink liquid calories and it's rare.
I usually get 200g carbs but today was 400g so I see the problem
