Yes, but it had tightened considerably last year...still hard to tell how much was skin and how much was fat when it got that close

I was 300lbs at age 17, and I've stayed under 205 ever since, but there's still some chub left. Got rid of most of it last year, and got lazy. Leads me to believe I should just stick with the cut, when you put it like that, I basically have no fat anwhere else besides maybe a bit in my thighs and such nowadays lol. Just…

1. Ordinarily a morning at 6am eat a yogurt with wheat+bran cereal ground up in it. (21g protein, 61g comp carbs) Hit the gym, then afterwards, anything with about 35-40g protein(powder, meat, etc.), with some fast acting carbs, when available (some days just a pure protein bar for 33g, like today). Next meal, a fruit…

If that's possible, I want in, hah. I'm pretty convinced in all I've researched on it you won't cut the fat, but it will become more muscular underneath it. Maybe in a recomp or something?

JUST replied to you about that bud haha. You think I should hold off til below 20℅ or do the opposite?

Yeah, maybe I should just start bulking and see where that leads me, tall and skinny with a guy is not a good look :/ It's quite possible that you have become skinny fat in which case you will need to start lifting to gain back muscle. [/quote] Possible, but I'm also sitting on probably 20℅ BF, so I'm torn as to whether or…

My guess is the water. I eat 100kcal less than the minimum recommended by any calculator for TDEE-20. Cheat days are logged, 1 day per week tops, and I go to maybe 3200 max, only about 500-600 more than my supposed maintenance. Hypothetically speaking, if I were at a 500 kcal deficit per day with one at about 600, I'd…

Yes, I have a food scale. :) I'm just curious as to how one can gain through a deficit o.O What thread are you referring to exactly? I'll check for it real fast (assuming you don't mean this one) Edit: Ah, I see now. It must not have loaded properly, but it's there now

Wow, did NOT get any kind of notifications for this while at work, but thanks for the input guys. I'm just having trouble in this regard because I've been eating at a significant deficit, between 500 to 900 calories, (depending on which calorie calculator is actually accurate), but I'm still not losing anything, really.…

I'm going based off of the trial and error I did with caloric intake last year. Around this time in 2015, i weighed about 10lbs less, metabolism is about the same, and I maintained at about 2650, or so it seemed. This year, attempting a similar, yet different routine, with a BETTER diet, even, I gain without losing…

Hey guys, thanks for keeping on with recommendations and feedback! I actually got down a bit more to 175 and I've been on my third week of a bulk. Back up to 182, which is perfect, since after a bit of a maintenance I was floating just under 180. I'll post progress pics in just a matter of time if you all feel like judging…

Based on my measurements, it says 11-12% :open_mouth: thanks for the link, man!

Haha I agree with the need for muscle 100% @DragonShoe_GCole. Anyone have a link for a recommended "well-rounded" workout week-to-week? Bulk specific, if possible please!

Thanks for the replies guys! I was curious, should I still be on a cut right now at my BF%? Or is it time to switch up to a bulk?

In that case, yes, new posters, disregard the BMI part of this title. Thanks

@standenvernet damn man, thanks for all the info! Definitely seeing about a reconfiguration of diet now. Just took some time and got a post of myself currently with pictures trying to get some BF% estimations from the experts here haha. I'll reevaluate once I hear back and get a better idea of where I stand at the moment…

@standenvernet I'm actually maintaining, surprisingly. It could be the recomp of fat to muscle, or my maintenance could be on point. I know most calculators overestimate caloric intake recommended, but it's almost across the board that I should be getting somewhere in the ballpark of 3000. For my size, it makes sense to…

Also >footnote< If you have any exercises you'd recommend for lower abs, I could use those. Preferably some weighted AND non-weighted options, as I work VERY often and don't have weights at my disposal. I need to figure out if I should be trying to burn the fat/tighten skin, (what I'm trying), or to "fill up" the space…
