Actually quite the opposite. I'm getting a majority of my surplus from carbs. Which would explain why my weight shot up even when I was doing nothing buto closing my deficit. Then I enter a surplus a...

I get weight fluctuations are normal but I've never really had any issues weighing myself on the same day at the same time once a week. And it also doesn't explain a sudden drop of 5 pounds when I'm...

I started my transformation 3 years ago at 5'10 220 pounds. I decided to start cutting and got down to a low of 148. From there I yo-yoed between 170 and 155 not really going anywhere. Just cutting....

That's what I had previously done. But when she told me she had the recipe I figured why not go ahead and see if I cant get a more exact number.
I was more wondering whether I calculated the...

I came here to ask if I calculated the nutritional information right. Why waste your time with unproductive inputs?

My mom makes home-made cookies every time I come home to visit. Seeing as I am really anal about my calories, I took a look at her recipe to try and figure out the nutritional info of the cookies....

And it'sn true if I am losing 2 pounds a week that means I am eating in a 1000 calorie deficit? My maintenance is really 2800? That seems so high

It main seem stupid, but I just realized two pounds a month is actually 7000 calories burned/foregone a week. Here I am thinking I am eating in strictly a 500 calorie deficit. I find it hard to ...

Why do you suggest reverse cutting as opposed to simply jumping to an estimated caloric intake that would net me 2 months of weight gain a month.
Also, if a person can gain 2 pounds of muscle,...

Hey,

I'm finishing up my cut after having reached my goal weight/physique (5'10, 160 pounds). I would say I am relatively lean and at or below 15% body fat. Regardless, I have been cutting for far...

Figured it wouldn't make much a difference. Thanks guys! Going to be fun eating big and lifting big. Hate cutting D:

I'm home from university for the holidays (15 days) and I'm in a predicament. I have been cutting in an attempt to get to 10% Bf so I can bulk.

However, it's difficult to count calories and be...

If i go the reverse dieting route, how will I know when to stop or when I've found my maintenance?

Yeah I am actually unsure of my maintenance. As of right now Im not too serious with the weight loss because Im so close to my goal. So I ballpark 1700-1900 calories depending on what I do that day...

And would you say its time for me to start bulking as in would cutting just make me look unhealthy?

No I didn't, why?

Yeah I suppose you're right. Guess the only weight gain I'm used to is the fast, and unhealthy kind.
A clean bulk is like 250 over maintenance right?

Bulking won't put back into being fat again right? Feel like Im just barely lean enough to feel good and be considered thin
Would hate for a bulk to put me back towards where I started
Idk, maybe I...

Think Im newbie and lean enough to be at that point where bulking would actually make me look leaner?

Currently 5'10, 148 pounds at 20 yr old
I used to be obese at about 220:
