I guess this depends on how many calories you restrict, food choices etc. I would imagine if you have a controlled slow and steady weight loss (@1kg per month, 2kg max), and you're not obsessed with...

How much does a prolonged caloric deficit affect one's ability to study for exams? Should one take breaks every now and then to maintain and then go back in to deficit?

I already take it, but right before I go to sleep. I will start taking before my dinner and see if there's any difference.

I am cutting at the moment and I get really hungry at night, event though my dinner is usually decent (500-1000 calories, depending on the day, high in fiber, protein and fats, carbs more or less,...

I am thinking if I should go with having the energy to continue progressing in the gym while cutting (as much as possible) or go with my cravings for fat in general while having a bit less energy...

The numbers I gave are some random numbers, what i would like to know is if there will be a difference in the rate + amount of fat one loses if you raise fats/lower carbs OR raise carbs/lower fats,...

Assuming one has a maintenance of 3000 calories at 200lbs with 20+% body fat.

When on a 10% deficit with the following macros:

2700 calories, 200p, 60f, 340c.
or
2700 calories, 200p, 100f,...

I am on a caloric surplus (monitoring my weight, gaining 0.5 per week).
I sleep 7 hours per night.
I eat a lot of carbs (400-500 per day).
I get my fruits and veg.
I take a multi-vitamin and some...

So I slipped a disk a month ago. Stopped doing deads and moved from low bar to high bar. No more pain during training, everything well.

Today, after a month, decided to relearn the deadlift with...

What I would do is just eat normal for about 2-3 weeks, but track it. See how your weight changes. Make a mean value for your calories and macros for those 2-3 weeks and compare with your weight...

I would increase by 100 calories per week to ease in to it. But that's just my opinion.

Next step is to start eating and lift weights. You will need to lose body fat overall, you can't spot reduce fat. So if your body wants to keep the belly and lose fat from where you already are lean,...

Ideal eating plan?

1. Learn what macros and calories are.
2. Work around them and not around food choices.
3. Estimate your maintenance at the moment (not through calculators online but by just...

1. Don't train to failure.
2. Increase frequency.
3. Auto-regulation.
4. Deload regularly.
5. Eat your 5 a day.
6. Get enough calories to at least maintain your weight.

Are you on a caloric deficit? If yes then that's the answer for your decreased energy.

I tried taking 400mg of caffeine pre-workout during my cut (I don't drink coffee, soda, tea etc.) and nothing...

Read the stickies, be patient, give it a good couple of months, be consistent and when your body wants to get rid of it after it gets rid of fat from other places, it will.

Don't trust calculators. Before going on a cut you really need to know your body. You should have monitored your weight for at least 3-4 weeks while eating a constant number of calories +/-200 during...

You can minimize fat gain but you can't prevent it. Just monitor your weight and gain slowly.

How much protein you eat doesn't determine how much muscle you have. Eat more calories. Trust me, more than you eat. MORE!
