over 20...but not good with estimates.

If it were me I wouldn't do any cardio. Sounds like you like it though. So you want to do it out of enjoyment I suggest eating more calories.

I used to count everything but I don't anymore. I just make sure my protein is hit everyday. When I bulk I eat carbs with every meal. When I cut I increase my fats a bit and eat carbs with 1/2 my...

ok, you can't go back on this choice because you will run yourself in circles. You've chosen 6-pack. And this is how you get it.



Go to the stickies thread about caloric/macronutrient...

what do you want more right this second, to have a six pack or have more muscle? You can only choose one, what is it?

recomp

Why don't you try a recomp. You don't have much muscle so it might work for you. Eat at maintenance, lift heavy, and do a little bit of cardio. When I first started working out I was able to...

You can't bulk and cut at the same time. End of story.

Although eating well is a good thing for overall health, losing fat is about eating less calories than your body requires. It makes up for this deficit by using fat stores for energy. You aren't...

You need to get your diet in check. You can do 1 of 2 things. 1. Start counting calories and eat in a deficit. or 2. If you are too lazy to count calories reduce the amount of carbs you eat until...

I hate looking fat and I hate cutting so I prefer slow bulking. That being said, if I had a years time to put on as much muscle mass as I possibly could and cut down to the lowest possible bf%, I'd...

This is a peaceful post FYI. Scurry along.

Fat loss will occur throughout your whole body.

Posts #2,3,4 thanks for you input.

Braggable: How about this experimental design. Again, all three groups have a maintenance of 2500 calories a day.

Group #1: Eats 2500 calories (maintenance)...

Hey guys,

Here's a hypothetical test I've been thinking about for awhile. I'm wondering what some of you knowledgeable people think.

Lets say we take three groups of people, all with a...

Deficit is the amount of calories you consume below maintenance. If your body needs 3000 to stay where it is, but you eat 2500, then you are eating at a 500cal deficit.

As for your macros, you...

uhhh...you said in OP you were eating at a 2000cal deficit. What you meant is you are eating 2000 calories. That makes more sense. Be diligent with the 2000cal and keep doing what you are doing. ...

you got a lot of fat. an estimate doesn't even really matter at this point. and are you seriously eating at a 2000 calorie deficit? that seems extreme. if this true, eat more and be patient. you...

4 weeks on a serious cut and you would be single digit BF%.

If you ate at a deficit and lifted heavy I bet you could recomp (gain lean mass and reduce fat at same time) no problem.
