Doing my first cut looking for recommendations

Write down everything you eat. Eventually, you will only eat things you want to write down.

The best diet is one you can stick to.

For me, personally, intermittent fasting works the best. I dont eat until 11:30am and I stop at 8:30pm. I train in the am, and when I'm getting shredded, I do an hour of cardio 3 times a week, and 30 min every other day ontop of about 2 hours of walking.

Keep it simple, go with 200 grams of protein from a few different sources, 100 grams of fat, then the rest of the calories in carbs. The protine and fat numbers are locked, only the carbs decrease. I like using cups of cooked rice or quinoa, that way its easy to remove a cup or a half a cup from your daily total. If you do it this way you dont have to count calories, just reduce portions. But you have to wat the same food every day.

What foods you choose for protine, carbs, and fat are up to you. I like Costco, so steak, chicken, eggs, rice, quinoa, ground flax seed, and avocado oil are my main staples.

This is a focused effort over time and one hell of a hamster battle. Make a plan or you can plan to fail.

Make all your food Decisions ahead of time.

Have at it!

It doesn't matter it's purely calories in vs calories out...

Intermittent fasting only works because you tend to eat less in a shorter frame of time.

Keto ruins your workouts but has a few slight health benefits for some people.

You have 2 choices;

A conventional cut where you work out your TDEE and eat 500-1000 cal less a day while keeping protein and work out volume high for 1-2lbs fat loss a week (slow and brutal but it works)

The suicide cut/Fasting where you do a mixture of 48-72 hour water and black coffee fasts followed by a day of eating at slight surplus with a workout then fast again (much quicker but most people can't handle it)

Btw you should be counting your macro no matter what you're doing

Edit with fasting you'll be losing 3-4 lbs a week

Make sure you’re getting your 1g per 1b of protein per lean muscle to minimize muscle loss during a cut. That means you’ll be eating a ton of clean protein or shakes in tandem with low cal carbs to keep you full ( like vegetables )

If you don’t know your body fat you can get a tape measure and use the US Navy body fat calculator online - at least it gives you an idea if your diet is on the right track and a ballpark of where your body fat is at.

Listen, you can do whatever tf you wanna do and listen to whoever you like.

Fuck. Keto. Don't do it. Idgaf if you have to eat top ramen and eggs every day. It is the most detrimental trend that the fitness community has seen in the past 10 years and it's a fucking shame on everyone responsible for endorsing such bullshit.

/ r / LeanGains isn't bad. More about body recomp. You're pretty tall, so 155 is crazy skinny. 192 is probably a better weight for you, but with less fat and more muscle

What body fat % are you?

SapphireBlack · 2019-08-08T18:26:08+00:00

How are you not lean at 6'2'' 192? With a muscle base of 3 years you should be hella lean at that body comp.

Im 6' 190 right now and am bulking. If I cut below 180 I would look like a fucking twig.
