60 DoD '21 Booster Week 2: Diet Boost

ragnar_Daneskjold · 2021-11-23T16:14:39+00:00

Since the beginning of September I've dropped 18lbs (61lbs overall) and took my bf from 20% down to 13%.

I have been targeting 1,900 calories a day (160g of protein) and usually make up for it in the following days by dropping to 1,3-1,500 if I have a day or two of going over. I've had weeks of plateaus where I see no progress or a little backslide so I don't think I'd count this as a continuous 2 month long cut.

Bigger Leaner Stronger suggests cutting to 10% before bulking back up and then staying in between 10-15% for your bulk cut cycles. This is what I want to do and the clear path for it is to keep up what I've done in the past 2 months without getting shaky in my discipline.

I mostly do complete austerity with chips, candy, cookies, etc. I occasionally eat pizza and drink beer. I almost never limit meat, fruit and vegetables and I use protein shakes to get to my macro goal.

DOD week 1 of disgusting pumps

28yo height 6’3” 205lb lean
Bench 70kg x10, DL 2.5 plate x10, squat 1plate x10(lmao)

I have been doing the same lifts for a while and expecting my body to change. Thats the definition of insanity.
My weight hasn’t changed all year but a-lot of the fat around the core has gone and arms are a bigger. My goal weight is 100kg and I am 93kg now. Just need to pump those numbers up. My problem is probably missing meals in the night, back In the day i would drop a 2k calorie shake before bed. Now that I am a 28yo boomer my stomach cringes at the idea.

Started hitting upper chest this week for that cleavage based on athleanX guides and it has given me sick chest pumps all week. Slapped on an extra 20kg to the DL, that hit my forearms very hard. I use overhand overhand grip and I am at the limit of my grip strength. I just hate the idea of straps, if I cant grip it then whats the point of pulling it.

Next week:
Rethink my diet. I think I’m running a half assed bulk all year but losing fat somehow. I have a week to rethink this shit. Getting enough calories has always been a challenge for me. (Not American so I miss out on the sweet sweet thanksgiving calorie excess)

Totally failing at sticking to my macros and calorie goals. So doubling down on tracking as of...right....now!

hmpanon · 2021-11-23T13:05:37+00:00

I’ve been slacking on my protein intake. Been just winging it, not keeping track. Back to login in my numbers to get a grip on that.

hausofedd · 2021-11-23T18:35:14+00:00

the name of my game is to fucking eat more that is pretty much it. I dont eat enough and I find shitty reasons not to.

This does not mean that I am going to eat a bunch of shit it means I need to start tracking my macros and calories again or risk not hitting my weight goals.

So I will start using the my fitness app again and do so for at LEAST the remainder of DOD and track all my food there.

The goal is to gain weight, specifically muscle so I will be focused on high protien, low refiend sugar.

A far as thanksgiving goes I am going to double down on the turkey and veggies, split the pie..... I do love stuffing so I will prob still eat that and find somewhere else to reduce carbs.

The goal is 200 lb and I am at 186. Once I hit 200 I will look into body fat %.

according to the ap that means I need to get about 3200 cals a day

The app says 160g of protien a day BUT I am pretty sure I have read that you should go from 1-1.5g of protien per lb. So that is going to be my goal there 186g+ of protien.

as far as suppliments go I take protien powder, collagin, and now creatien.

bluepillbandit · 2021-11-23T22:27:38+00:00

I have been switching too much between higher fat and high carbs on different days and finding myself in energy purgatory. Going to stick to high carb low fat for the remainder of this 60 DoD. I'm training multiple times on some days too (weights + martial arts) so this will be better for my recovery too. Aiming at 2,400 cals (200g P, 250g C, 66g F).

Christmas party season has started here and I'm making a point to drive to all of mine which will limit any alcohol consumption.

-craven-moorehead- · 2021-11-24T02:16:14+00:00

I have upped my protein intake to minimum 160g per day. Keeping my calories to average of 2464 per day while still cutting. I read Bigger Leaner Stronger last week and bought in to the diet advice, lifting program. I also bought some of the supplements from them, waiting for delivery. Right now I want to strip down to 15% BF then decide whether to keep cutting or start a lean bulk.

Still working on fat loss at this stage of MRP and despite having lost 13kg and gone from 27% to 19% this year still got a way to go.

Been stalled for about 2 weeks on a plateau and had a couple of less strict days where snacks creep in.

I’ve also been less diligent with logging on MyFitnessPal so will cut the snacks and ensure I log everything to get moving again.

Going to also make sure hitting protein macros and avoid starch to keep insulin response low.

I am 80% though a year of precision nutrition coaching, new habits every 2 weeks. Dropped from 163 in January to 147 now. I'm working to get below 145 and then will get another DEXA scan for body fat. My big habits that I am working to maintain are eating to 80% full, no snacking, sitting with hunger between meals.

RenascenceMan · 2021-11-25T14:31:51+00:00

I’ve dropped 16.5 lb since 9/1 using CICO no other restrictions or goals. A little more than I wanted to. My goal has been 5lb/month to keep from yo-yoing or impacting weights. I’ve started to struggle a bit with weights and so I’m adding macro tracking and a goal of 180g of protein and 230g of carbs a day. I’ve been doing that for a week and it seems to have made a difference.

I’m going to keep these macro goals until the end of the year. My goal has been to be at 205 by the end of the year and I’m going to keep that. I’m only 3.5lb away, so I’m going to eat closer to maintenance, which hopefully will help with the weights.

I’m at 6’2” and 209 right now and my body fat % has dropped rapidly. My goal is 205 lb with lifts of DL: 315 (1x5); Sq: 235; BP: 195; Row: 175; OHP: 135; PU: BW (5x8) (5x5 unless otherwise stated). I’m on track for that. I’ll reassess when I get there.

After cutting to 5'11 172lbs 13% bf, I have been "lean bulking" for 3 months. I am currently 186lbs and 18% fat. This is not a lean bulk, I am getting fat. I am focused on building muscle so against my desire for abs I am going to continue to bulk through winter. I find cutting fat fucking easy. I've dropped my calories to 3200 to slow the fat gain. I use MFP to track everything. Something to add, multivitamins and more vegetables. I will also add neck exercises 3x a week.

LiftDriveRock · 2021-11-26T20:47:56+00:00

Indeed. Probably most of us have our weaknesses in terms of food.

Me personally, I love food and have to balance this with my desire to become stronger and stay lean at the same time. Wanting to step it up, I will have to do some research. Oftentimes, suggestions for "healthy" food just translate to "fewer calories", but if you want to bulk, you need those calories.

BigBoiBahmani · 2021-11-27T15:21:58+00:00

My bad habit is snacking. I can keep up with calories in meals but snacks fuck me over. I will not snack during this. Getting in work in the gym has gone from 6 days a week to 3-4 due to exams in my college. But I will compensate for that by eating less. It is not that much of festive season where I live. I will be done with the exams in the next week, will get back up in the gym with consistency then.
