If your stats are accurate your going to be like 130 pounds at 5-9 and ten percent bf. Very very skinny. What is your training program like? You really should be able to add some muscle without much fat at your current training age aka newbie. Personally I think the cut or bulk question is impossible to answer without a…

Were your calories to low to begin with and were you restricting the types of food you eat? Typically in an appropriate deficit and allowing foods you still enjoy ( within your calorie goal of course) can usually prevent the binge diet cycle. But obviously legit eating disorders exist which I’m not qualified to speak on

I tend to follow the naturals. Jeff Nippard and the likes. I can’t really relate my training and lifestyle to someone like Rich

I went beast mode in gears of war once

Exactly. Thank you

How do you figure that?? 200 calories of rice is the same weight loss as 200 calories of mashed potatoes, everything else being equal

I stopped training fasted for a similar issue. Also in morning. I now have a small banana before, small mostly protein meal after and then push my main meals out 6 hours till 2 or so. Sorta my own IF version . Try a few carbs before and see how you feel.

Absolutely nonsense

In a calorie deficit sure. Same with anything else. Calorie deficit

Suppose how much you add is relevant but “ breaking your fast” early doesn’t really change the end of the day results. If you find it spikes your hunger and it’s harder to push off the first big meal then maybe skip it. If not, it’s fine. Overall calorie deficit is still king in IF

Your going about this all wrong. Just eat within your calorie goal wherever you end up eating. It really doesn’t have to be more complex then that. If you go out to eat often and are that concerned make your best guesses based on Panda Express entries and add 20%

Lol what kinda gyms you going to man.

803. A trip to India wiped out about 200 days early on. Zero internet when got stuck in a airport there for a really long time

I think the most important thing to know is that people at the gym are usually focused on themselves. If any are spending time judging you then they have their own confidence issues and aren’t worth worrying over

37 min cardio workout every single day may be a bit much depending on your current conditioning . Did you work up to that sort of volume slowly over time?

That would be like a 4 year supply of quest for me. I eat just one bar a day. Jeebus. The cookie Marcos are kinda garbage to imo. No protein cookie should have more fat then protein I don’t know. I’m glad it works for you but the lack of veggies and fruit would leave me starving

I hurt my back while deadlifting. Tweak during and extreme pain next day. Took a week off period and took a full 5 weeks off from deadlifting and squats because it hurt at depth too. No issue from there tho. Full recovery

Fair. My bad

Someone posted an extremely similar thread just the other day which eventually got shut down. My apologies if it was not you Anyway like I told her. If living is important that’s why eating 1200 is critical

Haven’t we been over this with this OP already?

What nutrition chart. Provided by who?

Do you have a medical reason to avoid carbs?

Only in a calorie surplus.. like anything else

A refeed week or even ten days would be your next logical step. A single day of high carb hasn’t shown to really rebound the hormones. I’d go a full ten days at or even slightly above maintenance +200. Been there done that and it helped dramatically

New low weigh in today at 181. Been stuck at 183 for a while. Started at a fluffy 193 last week of feb. goal is 170 ish With that said shoulder is killing me again. Going Monday to talk another shot and surgery. Be nice to be lean pre surgery as I know it’s gonna suck from there for a while with training and diet

You right. Not sure what I was thinking. Go keto, cheat on potatoes, come out of ketosis. And repeat. Totally logical

Seems like you want to do keto because it’s all the rage. If you like carbs that much just eat carbs. Keto has no fat loss advantage over non keto when calories and protein are equated.

Yeah I don’t see it and a small strength difference is totally natural But you could do some lunges and Bulgarian split squats to try and even it up.

Could just be where the muscles insert. I have one side different then the other also. A picture may help if your comfortable doing that

Virtually useless. Sorry.
