Protein shake since I train directly in the morning, but I do have a giant meal the night before that is carb heavy right before bed.

Yea, binges are not enjoyable, you are not in control. My worst experience is I did 27k in a day, horrible experience and never again. Now, splurges I've had are a couple of around 10k~, usually around specific dates like christmas etc.

@MityMax96 I am sorry but you are no special snowflake, thermodynamics still apply. Hard gainers are people that do not eat enough calories to gain weight, simple as that, and if you are not on steroids it is a total waste for someone that is not a complete beginner to even think about gaining more than 2-3lbs/month. And…

Hard gainers do not really exist, they are just people that tends to undereat or do the, "But I eat pizza and all that stuff", yea they eat it for 1 day, the rest of the week they are under their calories. This is coming from a 6'0", 152~lbs male that cut at 2800-3000.

Big nonononononono, 1.5 lbs should be per month, perhaps 2-2.5 if they are a complete beginner and starting out very skinny. 1.5-2.5 lbs / week will be way to much fat.

6'0", 154lbs, maintaining at around 2500-2700

So far im on my 5th day of no binge and it feels good!

Nothing wrong with a high protein diet General guidelines Study 1 Study 2

Stop using ratios, its outdated really. Get 0.8g protein per lbs 0.4g fat per lbs then let the rest of the calories fall however they do, if it is on fat, protein or carbs is your choice but those minimums should be held If you are very overweight use your ideal weight.

For this week -Keep to the maintenance calories -Study more -10k+ steps every day

yea it stands for Body Dysmorphic Disorder. For today I will try to keep at maintenance calories atleast since I binged last day and not try to do the fast like I usually do.

Today marks the day where I stop trying to lose weight. My binges have been becoming very frequent recently and it is taking a toll on me. Whenever I am in a happy mood I am wondering why am I trying to lose more weight? I mean, I am 6'0" at 158lbs, so I am not really overweight. I think I have figured some of it out. my…

well this just went to *kitten* :(. Everything went good, then some bad news and boom I binged.... 3500~ above my tdee

Protein fluff is the solution, at least for me when it comes to volume.

Feel free to add me!

around 0.5-0.75lbs a week~

6'0" Current 155lbs Goal 150-151lbs BF at goal is sub 10%

So called "wooshies" happen after some time, for example after some time dieting I can go without losing any weight in 4-5 days and then a "woosh" happens and I lose 1-2lbs over night, so never expect a linear weightloss

Quoting from bodyrecomposition.com/ "On average, a natural male doing everything right will be doing very well to gain 1/2 of pound muscle per week." That is with a surplus and yea ideal eating and training, so don't expect some extreme muscle gain. Good job on the loss so far, really good job!

A small surplus to bulk really slow to maximize strength gains so I can perhaps compete in the end of the year or beginning of the next depending on the numbers I hit.

Male, 154lbs, 6' 0" (if the height conversion is correct) and in a deficit at the moment so only 2300-2500~

I usually do 1-2 cheat meals, and my definition of a cheat meal is a meal that isn't tracked at all.

If it is a big deficit and you want to go low calories I would recommend reading RFL (Rapid Fat Loss) and follow his recommendations in the book. You can either buy it or find it online, his webpage got very good nutritional information for free also bodyrecomposition.com/ Check out his forum for the PSMF logs, which is…

every to every other day with a 10 day moving average since my weight can fluctuate up to 1-2kg from a low day to a medium/high day

Weighed in at 155 today after a binge last night, about 2-2½ weeks left then I will stop trying to lose weight, just not meant to be.

I binged yesterday but managed to stop it before going extremely overboard, so "only" 1500~ above TDEE, small victory for me!

Evaluate every 7-10 days with a moving average and then add/subtract calories.

Try to find out what triggers it, and if you have any typical foods that can trigger it and just don't stash any of them in your home. I first started out with not having what usually can trigger it for me, then I tried to get down to the core to start having a better relationship with food. Talking to someone can help…

Usually water weight drops the first 1-2 weeks due to lowering carbohydrates and usually sodium, so since its been over a month it shouldn't be water weight anymore.
