How to do a weight / body fat cut while strength training?

or buy a food scale and measuring cups if you don't have one. i'm pretty sure a lot of people that say they are eating at a certain calorie level and not meeting thier goals may not be doing everything they can to measure thier calories accurately.

I was eating at a surplus and gained doing 5x5...no biggie...I just added some cardio...20-30 min of circuit/interval training, cardio and reduced the intensity of stronglifts to 3x5 with the same weight...

well that kind of defeats the purpose of eating at a surplus no?

lol. if the goal is to gain mass, your going to gain some fat with it.

yeah I know...I wanted to gain some mass/just informing OP he can follow the same program and lose as well

Cut out all liquid calories. Drink all of the water you want to. Eliminate carbs from your diet. Eat eggs,chicken,fish,turkey,cuts of lean red meat and drop your calories some. three ways to lose weight

1. eat less
2. eat cleaner ( cut out carbs )
3. burn more calories

do all three of these and you will reach your goal.

going by his avatar he looks pretty strong...I'd take advice from him

lol.... strong logic.

1. Who says that's him?
2. There are large and lean guys out there that consume a high large abundance of carbs
3. From a weight perspective I'm smaller than a large portion of the guys in my gym, yet my lift's outperform them

I can go on, but I'm sure you get my point. Anecdotal at best.

actually somewhat true.

harvard study last year took identical calorie diets, but different macro breakdowns. The high carb group lost the least weight. by a good amount too..

Eat less carbs is good advice when people are eating high carb. And when I was training, 100% of my clients all ate high carb. It was astonishing when I got diet sheets back just how unbalanced everyones macro breakdown was. Even when they thought they were eating clean.

more bro science.....based on genetics different people respond to different macro ratios for the day. Carbs DO make people retain water weight; however, some people WILL lose faster eating fewer carbs/fat/protein than others simply because their body reacts better to other things. The water weight lost from cutting carbs is barely noticeable, and if you are lifting heavy on a super low carb diet without a refeed day periodically to get back that glycogen (and water weight), you will end up feeling really weak and miserable.

In to see if the mentioned study gets linked. Would like to read it.

High carb means not clean?

genetics please....put in the work...Train hard...no excuses...we have to find ways around our weaknesses
