I know it doesn't seem real low, but I'm certainly feeling the lack of calories...
Just cut 10g of fat off my prep macros.
Yesterday's cals- 2825.4cals
I'm hoping to end prep above 2350/2400cals daily. I can't even imagine trying to lift and do cardio 4-5 days a week on 2,000 or under.
800-1000.
don't even ask.
1800. That was lower than I would have liked due to being behind schedule. If u take care in the offseason to gradually up your calories, u should be able to get your maintenance level fairly high so that u don't have to go so low calorie when it comes time for prep.

Jesus, what where you doing for cardio?
about 1700-1800 just this last summer... never again. had to crash diet hard due to feeling behind and never have I felt worse. I felt so depleted and drained on my show day that I almost passed out on stage, was cramping so bad most of the time up there. longest 8 minutes ever lol

It was MISS\LISS so sometimes I'd walk on an incline and if it was miss, cross trainer. Towards the end I was that exhausted to even walk that it'd take me 2 hours to burn just 700 calories as opposed ton 40 minutes in the middle of prep.
1550 for my last week of cutting (glycogen depleiton phase) before peak week. I'm 5'3 at 110 pounds though.
Iv'e been cruising at 2k for so long now I feel as if it is my new maintenance, fml. Still not that hungry though, or just used to it.

1700-1900 no cardio. Not so bad if you can get in a nap during the day. 2400-2500 If I was doing cardio.

Before cardio or after?
For cardio how would you alternate that?
