I understand the concept. But, I feel like if I was doing that much of a deficit it would be noticeable. I’m obviously dropping fat. While I haven’t looked this muscular ever. My arms are much bigger now, and my body composition is getting much better. I just don’t see how it’s as extreme as y’all are making it out to be.

Well I’m going to continue my cut until Saturday. That’s day 90. Then I was planning on reverse dieting for 3 weeks to find my new real TDEE then staying there for 2 weeks before cutting again. But, with that being said I could just jump to 2500 and test if weight goes up or down over a course of a few weeks to see what’s…

3 different calculators are between 2500-2700 for my tdee. So I choose 2,000 to be my cut... which would be around most days at a 500 calorie deficit actually

All I can tell you is what I did. And that I know I’m not losing strength in the gym. I work out 6 days a week and have regressed none. I increase weight weekly. And my max caloric intake on most days is 2,000 calories. I have my days that I go a bit over or a bit under. Idk what else to tell you. I have the pics to prove…

] 2,000 with some refeed days around 2,500

Correct. I started at around 260lbs, and am around 220 right now. I’ve been at 2,000 calories the entire time. And mixed a few refeed days. Along with some carb cycling along the way. I also work out 6 days per week, which has kept my strength at the the same if not better than it was before. Intermittent fasting has made…

That’s awesome man! We are super similar. I have 6 days left of my cut. And I’ve already surpassed my goal for the 90 days. So my plan is to reverse diet a bit and eat at my new maintenance and focus on strength gain. Then I’ll go back on a cut, but for about half the time as this one was.
