Their reviews are solid. The place I’ve been going to recently is a Detroit style place in mission beach. I’ve had a hard on for Detroit style the past few years.

I keep seeing unhealthy foods online, like a video on YouTube reviewing chocolate chip cookies. Someone in a lifting group on social media posted a photo of breaded chicken breast chunks and sweet potato fries from Costco, but the chicken looks too salty. The nutrition profile is trash.

It's not a refeed, though, it's just a cheat meal. I've done refeeds in the past. I'm not there anymore, mentally. I need to take a break on Friday evening. It was pretty modest. Plate of nice tacos and literally half a pint of ice cream. I've done waaaay worse damage in the past.

The good news though is that life is so busy, fast-paced, and chaotic, and it goes by so fast, that I'm approx. 15% of the way through this cut already. Winter is already over. It'll be June in no time.

Even though I abide by an overarching IIFYM philosophy, I only work in 'clean' calories, like nutrient-dense foods. I absolutely never work in nutritionally empty garbage, only for my cheat meal, and that kicks me into a slight surplus so it isn't an "IIFYM" day. Calories, and often carbs, are so limited during cuts that I'll never understand someone pissing away precious carbs on breaded chicken lol.

In the past, I've baked a lot during cuts with whey protein. I made a few threads here. I'd make protein cheese cakes, sweet potato protein donuts, muffins, etc. All pretty wholesome. Simple ingredients. My nightly last 'meal' is a triple chocolate protein pudding concoction I make that I look forward to every day. I think one of the key considerations while cutting is maintaining sanity, and this helps me do it. It's really simple too: chocolate whey protein, pure cocoa powder, greek yogurt. That's it. Slosh it all together until it's a smooth pudding consistency. If I have some fats left I'll mix in a tablespoon of a nut butter. I crack up and mix in 90% dark chocolate on top. It's really cottamn good. It's like a chocolate bomb. I eat that and have herbal tea at 7pm.

1000cal below TDEE every day is fuked but already visibly leaner and the strength hasn't dropped significantly.

Hoping just as it starts to, around 3 weeks time, the var kicks in and preserves a lot of it. Only been on it 3 days so far in conjunction with cruise dose of C

So I did try a pair of pants with a size 29 waist and was able to fit them fine (a little tight on legs and glutes though, despite being the "athletic fit" ones), but still have some lingering fat preventing me from being legit "shredded" as I want to be. Goddamn, I don't know how much more I need to lose.

Like I've said though, despite all of the weight loss - it doesn't seem like strength has gone down that much and it doesn't seem (though who knows, hard to measure/quantify) like I've lost much muscle.

Kinda cheat meal maxxing by having a ham and cheese sub for dinner today but no sweets. Taking a month or so off sweets. I try to do this here and there to test my willpower. Tomorrow will be Mexican. Then back to normal eating on Monday for the week.

I was only down .7 today. Was hoping to be at least a lb down but at least it's something.

I'm way more IIFYM as well. I always save some calories for a bowl of cereal at the end of the day because I know I'm having one anyway. It's a major soft spot for me. I try to have different food so I'm not deficient in anything while on restricted calories but it can be tough. I frequently default to takeout because of my work/travel schedule but I try to have relatively healthier options. I have to rely on protein shakes or those core power drinks a lot to get a reasonable amount of protein sometimes though.

Thanks for inspiring me to stay on my diet. That guy must’ve been bulking. That chocolate pudding recipe sounds great! I’ve mixed plain nonfat Greek yogurt with whey protein powder, but never bought chocolate flavored whey or cocoa mix. I’ll have to try that some time.

I'll do this too. The majority of the time, I'm able to get all my macros really well. Sometimes, I decide to change things up a bit and I have some left over. I just calculate how many calories that is and occasionally I'll just eat something to fill those remaining calories and not necessarily meet all my macros perfectly. Fuk it. For example, I decided I'd be making oat flour pancakes tonight to go along with my marinated + grilled Portuguese chicken breast. Sort of a chicken and waffles kind of thing. I had maybe 200 cals I hadn't yet fit into the day and decided to have an omelette with mozzarella lol.

Jesus that’s low. Mine is low 60s usually but runs higher when I have a lot of caffeine or alcohol.

Not too sure. Last I checked was during a cut and it was in the mid 50s or something like that. Wouldn't be surprised if it was higher lately. Drink lots of black coffee on an empty stomach in the AM and generally more tense/frazzled as I wear many hats in life and am constantly busy and on the go.

Edit: just took it roughly and it's 60. This is after 4 cups of coffee since 4am lol.

I couldn't wait until today, so today is day five @ 2500 kcal.

Starting weight was 258.

This morning I was 255.8.

We'll see where I land after the first full week.

Damn. I'd surely be in a surplus at those figures (dead srs).

1800 here. Down maybe 1.5-2lbs pure weight since I started. I usually lose a few pounds of water, glycogen, and food in my gut at first and then drop pretty consistently 1lbs a week from then on.

Currently having eggs.

Im at about 1700 during the week and 2500 on weekends. Assuming I actually do that it’s good for about 1.5 lost per week.

On that note I lucked my way into first class this morning on my flight and they had French toast as a meal option. Damn it was good. Subtract 500 calories from my in n out calorie balance later I suppose. I wasn’t going to eat until I got there but we were 2 hours delayed and I was already hungry. Having coffee on that empty of a stomach would have me ****ting mid hike in 2 hours.

Currently cutting for spring Michigan NPC (Men's Physique). Will be 4th time competing!

By the way, don't forget "no fap" OP. Very srs.

I estimate that I'll be able to get to an even leaner state by end of May 2024, more shredded than I've ever been. I also anticipate that this cut will be my most challenging one yet, particularly due to lifestyle, logistical, and work considerations. Balls to the walls, though. No excuses. Will give it my all.

Gonna spread some greens to my fellow spring cutters ITT. We're all gonna make it (srs). Post your own personal goals ITT and let's keep each other motivated!

I have a pretty adaptive metabolism I think.

I maintained 253-258 for about 6 weeks ramping up from 3000-4200 kcal.

I also lift 6 days per week and currently do 5 x30 min. cardio per week, so that helps.

But as things slow down over the next 12 weeks, I’m prepared to bump that up a 7 days and even go up to 45 min (which I did on the way down from 290-253).

I’ll also lower the kcal as things slow down too. I went down as low as 1800 on the way down to 253.

Damn, mirin'! I used to lift 6x a week on a 3 days on, 1 day off PPL type schedule years back. It was great. I just really can't fit that into my schedule anymore logistically. Lately I've been just doing a slightly modified PPL approach 3x a week and focusing on healthy lifestyle stuff the other days like being outdoors, hiking, that king of stuff.

Been on a cardio bender the past 2 years, guess its taking effect.

Edit: just took it roughly and it's 60. This is after 4 cups of coffee since 4am lol.
I drink a liter in the morning and 16-20oz pre workout in the afternoon. I've gotten a sub 50 with the last sip of coffee in my other hand lol.

Stop using the scale to judge progress and go by how you look in the mirror

People always obsess over how much they weigh but it's just a number on a scale

Any time I weighed myself consistently on a cut I would always get depressed if the number didn't drop even if I looked better

Same thing with bulking if I didn't gain weight I would just eat fast food to get the weight up but it didn't really help much besides make me look bloated from the extra sodium

For the past couple of years, I've favored the brosplit to be honest. But the past few months, I've been doing a double PPL routine (6 days per week) and I have to admit I like it.

I used to the the same thing, 4x a week bro-split. Definitely prefer the PPL approach. Although sometimes when I have a ridiculously busy week, I might stack push and pull together. This happens maybe twice a year. The combined pump is the stuff of legends.

My starting weight was 287.8 January first, I got down to 262.2 but went out with family Saturday night and got totally off the diet. Had a huge burrito at a Mexican place, and a calzone at a pizza place.

Today I weighed 264.2, and I’m finding it hard to get back into the mindset I had prior to Saturday. I’m supposed to be eating 2,000 calories a day, but today, I can’t get below 2400 because I’m too hungry.

I’m back to my weigh training schedule, only missed one day Sunday.
