Also, just want to clarify that I am not saying it's possible to build muscle while in a caloric deficit. I mentioned that the increased size in my arms "could be muscle" simply because I'm REALLY bad at consistently taking measurements and the increased size of my arms *could have possibly occurred prior to my initiating…

I appreciate that you're trying to help, but I kind of feel like you're attacking me lol. Anyway, in response: Yeah, I use cups pretty exclusively for my veggies.
