Well I will say that since I changed to 4 days split routine upper/lower body weight training I can not stop eating! And i am trying to cut which has become impossible. Am I the only one?Any ideas?I am aiming for 1600 calls mon-fri bcoz i know on weekends i will eat at least one day 2000-2500. My TDEE is 2100 …. I am getting very frustrated to do not see any result, even worse my legs look less toned than on dec when i started this program, moving from SL.

    How tall are you and how long have you been cutting?

    I went though this recently myself. I was on 1700 calories at 5'9 with only about 15lbs to loose. I crashed about 7 weeks into my cut, my body felt wrecked, workouts were suffering and I was starving. Spent a week doing a deload and upped my calories to about 1900. Right now, I eat 1900 on rest days and about 2000-2100 on heavy days. Currently loosing on higher calories and getting leaner.

    Eat more might be the answer, you'll be less likely to binge on weekends.

    I'm so glad you posted this, because this is exactly what's been happening to me these last two weeks since I began lifting heavy weights and doing body weight exercises (on top of my normal Pilates, hiking/snowshoeing and running). So yesterday I did a few TDEE calculators and basically learned that I need to up my calories by about 300+ per day. I'm hoping this will help because being so hungry, tired and fog-brained and it's stressing me out. Time will tell...

    More protein, too. If you haven't added extra protein to your diet, you will be ravenous.
