Well first off, your experience cutting isn’t unique. Everyone that cuts goes through the same shit.

Consider intermittent fasting (8 hour eating window per day) and adding more cardio. If you’re hitting the gym 3-5 times per week, your maintenance should be higher than 2200. I’m 6’1, 188 lbs and I’m losing 1lb per week at 2300 calories.

Your maintenance calories is not fixed. It goes down when you are in a caloric deficit. You might need to cut more calories.

A meal doesn’t have to be 1000 calories, you control how much food you put on the plate

Stop being a pussy, push through the hunger. You won’t die

Also do cardio

Stop shoving shit into your piehole.

Intermittent fasting or about two months of very strict keto..but you have to keep you fat macros up or you will have zero energy.

Smaller meals throughout the day bro. Aim for a few 600 calorie meals throughout the day. Protein source (chicken breast, beef etc) + carb (rice, potato) + veggies. Fats from whole eggs. Adding in cardio will help

I'm also on a cut, doing quite well thus far. Here's what works for me:

Cardio when hungry, to feel energized and to eliminate hunger. I'll do this in the mornings on days I don't lift, and at night to sleep without eating more (also helps me sleep)
Coffee or tea. I have a clean double shot of espresso every morning and it's really great. Keeps me in routine, since I'm addicted, and totally eliminates hunger. Don't buy from a store every morning though, you should make it yourself whether it's filter coffee or espresso if you have a machine and grinder.
2 simple meals a day, approx 600 calories each and good amount of protein. You can play around with the calories, but it makes the diet portion really easy. Lot of meals fit this bill. My favorites are 3 eggs in a tortilla with cheese, grilled chicken in a tortilla, and 2 sushi rolls. 90% of my meals every week are those 3, add veggies if you want. Supplement with protein powder on days you lift.

Cycle Keto with PSMF

Try filling up on low cal things when you get bad cravings and throw all bad things out

PepeApuSmidgeMarvNog · 2020-01-21T18:49:27+00:00

Dropping from 18-15 isn’t hard at all. You simply lack the discipline and desire to actually change your diet to do it.

My maintenance is 2700 calories and I'm 5'10 @ 160lbs.

You just need to shoot for ~500 calories below maintenance level to lose around 1lbs/week.

At first, your body starts losing fat in a caloric deficit. However, your body adjusts to the new intake and your glycogen starts stabilizing at that new calorie intake. This means you have to keep dropping in calories in order to lose more fat.

This goes the same way as gaining weight. You need to either re-feed your body in a surplus to make your body adjust to higher calories to maintain, and then drop your calorie intake again. Or just keep dropping in calories/add cardio to your routine.

Add some nice tabata

BlockKillerz · 2020-01-21T20:21:43+00:00

7 days a week, every week Breakfast - Eggs, protein shake Lunch - grilled chicken breast w carrots Dinner - grilled chicken breast Late snack - a bit of cashews Weekends - same plan with a couple of protein bars
If you get hungry, drink water, eat lettuce or protein bars. Nothing else

Cardio: Run till your calves hurt, run every day till you can't. Run twice a day if you got time. Hmu in 3 months.

Bonus: if you get bored of chicken for lunch, switch to 6-8 pieces of chopped ham mixed with chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, chopped cilantro, some ketchup and a bit of avocado (not too much like maybe 1/4)

Eat less and move more nigga

gyropitaolives · 2020-01-22T00:18:27+00:00

Low carb/high protein diet combined with HIIT is very effective. I was able to lose at least ~1% a month, from 20% to 12%.

More protein (chicken, turkey, protein shakes, egg whites), more veggies (brocc, cauliflower, carrots), less carbs (oatmeal, fruit). If you're hungry in the evening, eat a banana or apple. Apples have a shit ton of good sugar, they satiate you and it's healthy.

Also, hardly any of my meals where 1000 cal. That sounds like a shit ton of food if you eat clean, or junk food.

ECA stack, or just will power there’s no other way. intermittent fasting helps reduce hunger.
