The former. I am impressed on how spot on it has been 34-35 days in. Curious to see if that remains the case! I have never kept track like this so I am pretty excited!

why are you only eating ~90 grams of protein

[Striation]

why are you only eating ~90 grams of protein

To see if protein numbers "required" are simply inflated. So far so good. Strength is still up, muscles look full and fat percentage is dropping. Supplement free. I quit the creatine after 2 days.

[prolvr]

what app are you using? do you right down and time how long you are doing something like riding or walking or sitting?

[shawkseed]

so is yer opinion that the protein ideas are inflated and we realy dont need as much as suggested?

[Striation]

what app are you using? do you right down and time how long you are doing something like riding or walking or sitting?

I do a lot of the time but I guesstimate sometimes. I use Calorie counter by fat secret on my android and I use the fatsecret.com site as well.

[Striation]

so is yer opinion that the protein ideas are inflated and we realy dont need as much as suggested?

So far, yes. I may change my mind as I get leaner. This is my first cut with such a low percentage.

Water fluctuations are a little crazy. I was 199.8 on 02/28 200.8 on 02/29 200.8 on 03/01 and 201.4 today. I am looking leaner by the day and my deficit is too high to gain muscle so water retention should be the only answer. You can see why people become frustrated when they think they are doing everything right. I am sticking to my guns for at least another week. If weight loss is still stalled I will increase the calories. Waiting on the wooooooosh.

In for epic results using "anti-bro" macros, haha. Water retention is quite fun if you don't stress about it. When I finished my last 12-week cut I ended up @174lbs and quite depleted, maintained for a month (gained 6lbs of water) and was looking leaner then ever.

Awesome man, looking good! Reps. Yeah, maintaining the water weight has at least one plus. I look full 24/7.
