I'm 147lbs & 5" 7" & tomorrow I will start cutting. I was on 1600 calories a week but found it slow & wasn't losing fat.
I'm planning on hitting the weights 5 times a week with sat & sun off. I am going to start a 1000 calories a day in order to lose 2 pounds of fat a week.
My Diet is:
Meal 1: Porridge
Meal 2: Preworkout Strawberry Protein Shake
Meal 3: 2 Grilled Chicken Fillets
Meal 4: Strawberry Protein Shake
Meal 5: Grilled Steak Fillet
Total: 986 Calores
Protein: 124.3grams
I'm also taking Omega 3 Supplements.
Now I know I should have veg in there but I want to stick within the calories limit. I'm far happier having the protein shakes enough there I may be hungry some times. Porridge keeps me full for ages in the morning.
I'm wondering should I be able to cut 2 pounds of fat week??
Thanks So Much!

Thanks for the replies guys but I'm not losing weight at 1600 calories. I was thinking maybe just do this for 2 weeks. Then back to 1600 for a while & than back again to 1000 for another 2 weeks.
Its Frustrating not losing the pounds. Also I was under the impression that if I had a pound a protein for pound of lean body mass. I thought this would be a good idea. Like a PSMF diet but not as extreme?

Your wrong I lose a pound a week on the scale and add muscle at the same time. I upped my bench 15 pounds in 6 weeks and my other lifts are getting better. The key is to not lose too much too fast. I eat at a 300 calorie deficit daily and I burn 500 calories in cardio 4 times a week and 100 or more in my workouts 3 times a week but i dont work out hard (body bugg verified).

Why do I do this weightlifting thing for the last 34 years with all its ups and downs life has handed me? Because each time I came back stronger. NEVER GIVE UP. Gym life is about more than muscles getting bigger and weights going up. Its wisdom discipline dedication humility you name it.

Your wrong I do. So that 15 pound increase on my bench came from no where? And my other lifts improving. Im tired of people saying you cant gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Ive seen others on here that said they did the same thing. Id love to show you my progress pictures in 4 and a half months when the contest I entered is over.

I'm cutting at 1,000 and I'm seeing good results. I just hit 160-180 Grams of protein with as little fat and carbs as possible. I haven't seen lifts go down and I've seen lifts go up so far. At your weight 1,000 wouldn't be that bad of a cut. It also depends on your body fat percentage. Go read the rapid fat loss handbook if you are looking for quick results and you have no more patience.

You know guys. Lyle Mcdonald is not Jesus Christ, or anything.
I'm a bit tired of the personality cult that seems to surround he and others (Leangains, etc.)
When this guy talks, I listen. Secondly, even the famous "semi-starvation" experiment wasn't this low.
I'm not. My consensus is that most of the people here don't know what they're talking about half the time (me included).
Good idea...
