carbs are more muscle sparing once protein intake passes a certain threshold, which in most cases is 1.5 g per lb of lbm. most bodybuilders advocate that protein is more important while cutting, and thus you should go as high as the 1.5 figure.

which is not as high as 1.5g/lb of LBM...

Just got hired at a new job. Feels good not having to worry about going back to school without enough money. I might have the weirdest combo of jobs however

[-Gin-]

time for you to get rid of ur gf....not srs

Just don't see why she couldn't wait 'til next week when I start clean bulking...but oh well.

[TheRoyalPenis]

for those of you who are doing low carb or carb cycling, how many carbs do you eat on low carb days?

[brandon2743]

last meal of the day coming up,

340g broccoli
200g sweet potato
400g tilapia
4 eggs

omnomnom

[ampUP11]

Just had 2oz of whole wheat pasta (35g carbs and about fist size) and a few meatballs

mind=blown

pasta has to be one of the most complex-carb dense foods ever, 41g total carbs for 2oz, only 6g fiber in the whole wheat spaghetti...

macros for today are fuarked because I worked in the city and got a beef kebab from a cart on my way to the train station and it messed up my protein macros lol

[Ninjazn]

Long time no see brah, how've you been?

Doing well. I'm really turning up the intensity during the last few weeks of this cut and I'm feeling really motivated.

My new swim trunks that I ordered should be arriving tomorrow. Imaging myself with legs cut like diamonds will keep me going on this cut, haha.

[Frumpy]

Successful refeed was successful.

I normally get 70-150 grams of carbs max. Today, I had 400.

Sweet baby jesus carbs have never tasted better.

[mh22]

Gonna watch Braveheart and crash. Gone the next 3 days to Chicago..hopefully I don't goof hard..a lot of food (and maybe alcohol) will be consumed. Have a good weekend brahs!

What do you guys think of walnuts? high in calories i know. But great source of omega 3's. Been snackin on these babys at work. Fuarkkk i never feel full though anymore sucks. Feel like my energy is higher on a cut though. Don't feel so lethargic.

I love me some walnuts, add them to my oatmeal every day

They have some cool stuff, but $30 for a tank is too much for me.

Where in the city do you work? I think I'm going to a client in the city next week. Extra cardio trying to haul ass to catch my train lol

Dat dare leptin. Look it up. Apparently, from what I've read, when leptin is low due to prolonged dieting and or being very lean, the leptin increases your appetite by a lot; and no matter how much you eat, you never get full. Also, your appetite won't go back to normal until your body returns to its "normal" body fat levels.

^ this is from my understanding of what leptin does according to a couple videos/articles I read. I could be wrong so don't quote me on it. But I would recommend looking it up; it's very interesting.

yeah ull get it every now and again its the hormones brah, i had it yesterday i ate a can of tuna/protein shake/some cashews and tons of coke zero as excess calories managed to stop an epic cheat lol and still dropped weight

Thanks, guys! Looked up some articles on leptin..veryy interesting. It MAY be prolonged dieting, because it's definitely not from low bf levels. I went to a coach for competing in physique this fall, and he estimated me at 18%. My goal is 12%. Gonna be a long road!

And Bonkies lol I know what you mean! Today it's been like 3 chicken breasts, 3 bowls of mixed vegetables, and 1 bowl of sludge, all before 5 pm. drinking black coffee like a mother phucker right now, trying not to eat until 9. So close...

How many calories do you guys think that is? At first, I was going to say ~600-700, but now I think it's way more...especially seeing the whole meal weighed about 500g.

inb4 I'm eating 1000 cals over maintenance today

[peteyyytran]

omg.. the summer rolls my mom got me. INSANE... so good. ugh and had 4 sevings of jello 40 cals. wtf is this. im full ;_;

[TheBroBrah]

Another question. How many of you brahs have a cheat day?

[ampUP11]

Ended up with macros closely resembling 81F / 87C / 228P for a little under 2k calories. Just hit deadlift + back and had to get some protein in postworkout so I drank half the shake I prepped once I realized I was way over my macros and didn't want to take in 250g + protein today. Tomorrow and friday are 120-150 carb days which means possibly french toast with wheat bread or heart smart blueberry pancakes. omnomnomnom

midtown manhattan, hate the job, only working mondays and tuesdays b/c its unpaid and straight cold calling so rather than drop it immediately I opted for 2x a week instead of 3x to maintain sanity.

Quick question:

So I just started this job that is basically 100% physical labor for 10hrs per day. It's cool and all but I haven't the slightest idea what my maintenance is. The past few days I've just been eating at least twice as much as before. How should I go about figuring my new maintenance? Keep in mind that my kcal expenditure could vary dramatically from day to day depending on how busy I get on the job. Is it a lost cause; should I just go by hunger/feel?

You can start by reading the stickies in the Nutrition Forum.

despite what most people will tell you in here, many people, including yourself, can be successful at dieting by eating "slightly less" and using moderation. macros and IIFYM give the dieter extreme control over their diet. Although, if I were you, I would just eat when i'm hungry and work hard. Manual laborers carry more muscle by default from lots of heavy work and you will eventually be conditioned for the workload.

^and yes, I am talking about myself with the control part. Being in control is one of the things I do best in life and it's part of the reason bodybuilding has really "fit" for me.

Said "no" to chit-ton oh Taco Bell at work...winning

[Juvitee]

Every day I ask myself, " Legs, why won't you grow?" and then I realize that for about 80 percent of my time spent seriously lifting, I've been cutting. Who woulda known eating all that sh*t and living a sedentary life in my high school years woulda held me back so much

Oh well, the main goal of my lean bulk is to grow some sick wheels!

Never the less, leg day was a success.

frumpy I know this feel, I really have only about 6 months of real bulking time on my body so far. I have been lifting for a little over a 15 months now. Lean bulk ftw!!! I plan on tracking macros whilst bulking for the next 2+ years almost nonstop.

[MoroccanBrah]

Another question. How many of you brahs have a cheat day?

there is no way someone doesn't have cheat day, just for the mood it helps quite a lot

I personally have two cheat days, I eat whatever I want in the week-ends but make sure to never have a surplus, still losing weight...

[peteyyytran]

last meal of the day 2 servings of breyers low carb ice cream and walden farms cal free choco syrup with some no sugar added raspberry jam. and a proton shake

I can't wait till the weekend so I can make my blueberry heart smart pancakes with walden farms cal free pancake syrup. It is the best one of all WF products IMO, but the choc syrup and dip are both awesome too. Dip I only use with strawberries and it's a match made in heaven.

[TheBroBrah]

Today went well brahs. First day of cut and already feeling leaner. Probably because i'm usually bloated from drinking soda/sodium/no drinking any water

Just straight water today. Feelsgoodman.

I love how i don't feel lethargic at all on my cut.


BTW here's some sick motivating trance tunes brah. fuarrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
