I track my weight every day and weigh my food. And when I have a bad food day (eat fast food etc) I know how many cals are in it but don't usually track it. Its not measurement error.

I agree the...

Maybe its because im on the cusp of losing certain areas of fat. But my manboobs I have left I can tell when they are bigger and smaller. And by not eating strict I mean like eat 3k cals one day...

Used to post a lot haven't in years.

I seem to gain fat so easily and look chubby and bloated after 1 day of not eating strict. To lose weight ive found I need to stick to around 2000-2200 cals a...

Nope I weigh everything I eat and track all my calories and believe me that's what I eat. I do obviously have days I eat fast food etc. But most days 2000-2500 chicken and rice etc.

I am 6'5" 260lbs and a former fat kid. I have put on a lot of muscle mass over the years eating roughly 2500cals a day. To lose fat I eat about 2000cals. This seems super low for someone my size.

I guess that makes sense. And thats why madcow does a low intensity day. I think I will just switch to madcow from now on and see if I can break through my plateuas. Especially my bench has been...

Just to add another question. Ive been reading up on Texas method and madcow 5x5. I notice those 2 and stronglifts all have squats every 2 days yet bench/shoulder press/rows/dealifts only happen...

Thanks for the info. Ive just hit a plateua lately and was looming for a change. Lot of people said stronglifts was good. But ill check out madcow. Any other reccomendations for breaking through...

Before I started 5x5 my maxes were
Bench 225x5
Squat 295x5
Deadlift 365x5

Stronglifts tell you to do squat/bench/row then rest then squat/shoulder press/deadlift then rest and repeat.

You...

I didnt mean I stop doing those 3 ever. I just meant on my current routine I do each once a week for a 10/8/5 usually. But on stronglifts you squat 3 times a week and either bench or deadlift twice....

I have been cutting weight for a while trying to get my bf% lower. My lifts have stayed the same or went up a little during the process.

Right now Im 215lbs
6 foot 5
Roughly 15-17% bf
Bench...

Anyone have any input on the before and after bf%?

So I decided to eat between 2500-3000cals a day. 1g of protein per pound, 0.4g of fat per pound and the rest whatever I wanted. I ended up losing 17lbs in 22 days so far. Not sure if I should keep...

Sorry it just ended up close to that. I actually used iifym and it gave me

2977 cals
114.5 f
258 c
229 p

And yes I will recalculate as I go.

So far this is how it has gone since I started actually coutning calories and macros. Im aiming for betwen 2500-3000cals with 40/40/20 macros. The first day huge drop was most likely water wait...

Protein timing? More info?

So Im gonna cut and Ive looked around and with exercises 5 times a week and sports 3 times with my size I apparently should eat around 3000 cals a day at a 40/40/20...

Those numbers of 250-260 12% are my final final goal not like this years goal. I know it will take a long time. Just frustrated where Im at right now.

The consensus seems to be buckle down watch...

I am at a sort of crossroad here. I have went down from 285 to 220 in the past 6 months or so. My lifts have went up a little and it seems I have slightly more muscle mass. But I feel like Ive...

I was hitting the gym 5 days a week and pushing my 5 rep maxes almost every day while I was bulking. Now that I am cutting I'm not sure how hard I should be pushing the lifting. Should I still go 5...

Thanks to everyone. Ill try to rep all who helped. I started added some supplementary legs to my upper days and shoulder and chest to my leg days.

But I think the biggest thing I was missing was...
