This is what I ate today: Dear Diary - Getting shredded edition

[Sevenlionz]

About two weeks into my cut & 9 days no alcohol fuuuark

Face is visibly much leaner already and my skin is glowing srs, trimmed my beard to a little longer than stubble, feeling handsome boyos!! definitely benefiting already from the lowered carbs and no inflammation from alch.

My meals today and for every day the rest of the week till Sunday except maybe Thanksgiving idk yet

Meal 1; protein shake
Caramel rice cake
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 banana
Cinnamon

Workout

Meal 2; 2 cans of tuna
2 tbsp low fat mayo
2 slices sourdough bread (210g)
Cherry tomato’s

Meals 3: 12oz ground turkey
110g sweet potato
Spinach

Meal 4; 12oz ground turkey
110g sweet potato
Spinach

Meal 5: 2tbsp peanut butter or an oz of cashews

Had about 3 liters of water today maybe more. Also ran 2 miles even though I technically don’t feel the need to start cardio until a few weeks I just wanted to see if I could, had about an 8 minute pace. Gonna see how quick I can get to a sub 6 mile srs

What is that like 2k cals?

Its about 2700

I’m actually only going to decrease to about 2300-2400 in the next few weeks, but then will raise the calories. I will still get leaner 100% srs. It’s the macros I play with, I’ve done this exact thing before

[Sevenlionz]

Slight rant:

What the fuk bros I can’t even open up my Instagram without getting bombarded with nearly naked beautiful everywhere I look. Makes it extremely difficult to not wanna fap or go deeper in the rabbit hole. The game is rigged against us smh

[bsrkoacar2]

Nice bro. I think I'm gonna get through the holidays eating a lot of food and lifting heavy. then go into a cut after and continue trying to lift heavy. Would like to drop like 15-20 pounds. Dont really Wana get shredded but as lean as possible while still lifting for performance.

Tell me more about this macro manipulation, I'm intredasted

How do you manage to eat 12oz of ground turkey at a time?

The only critique I would have is the breakfast.


The breakfast seems very insubstantial. If I don't have my usual breakfast (either oatmeal and protein powder, or a 4 egg omelette with slice of toast, bacon and avocado) I feel like utter shyte. I can't get through the day without a substantial breakfast.

[ShakeBrah]

how about you just give us your macros instead

For me it’s light enough that i can workout not too long after but still gives me decent energy

Had a sick ass gym sesh today. Pump was good despite low carbs

Been sticking to my diet I feel amazing. TBH, progress is coming along so well that I literally don’t even want to eat any thanksgiving food or desserts 100% srs. Zero craving to, I just wanna eat my tuna and sweet potatoes and ground turkey. But don’t wanna come across as a tryhard f ag or make my mom feel bad for not eating anything so I’ll have some, just gonna keep it light though.

That's the pros and cons of cutting. About the 2-3 week point when you get in the groove of things, it makes it harder to deviate because you're in a good rhythm. The sh!tty part is when this had happened to me in the past, I get the dopamine rush from the food and then can't stop. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

Solid!

Congrats man. Keep up the good/hard work.

lol, this is me right now. Went a month with no alcohol or tracking macros. Now yesterday I had a cheat day and I’ve felt freaking amazing ever since.

Going back to hard cut tomorrow.

[Sevenlionz]

Thanks Boyos repping everyone. Getting tired af of the same food but mentally it fuels me more srs

Today I had

Black coffee

Meal replacement bar + cup egg whites

Workout

12oz ground turkey and 1/4 cup rice (measured dry) with veggies

Eating:
12oz ground turkey and a 1/4 cup rice (measured dry) with veggies

Gonna have a can of tuna, light mayo and some fruit before bed

Screenshot from a vid I took today. Workout was sick af but the low carbs are killing my pump, doesn’t last more than 10 min after workout. Pic is also heavily filtered I used some weird IG filter to test it out. Not a fan

[ShakeBrah]

Protein: 275 carbs:125 fats: 110 srs

2590 calories ain't bad for cutting. Your macro percentages (especially fat) seem wack to me, but whatever works for you boyo.


But srsly, how are you getting 110g of fat with those meals? They all seem super lean, unless that mayo is doing you in.

Well the 12oz of turkey is just 1lb of it uncooked, so that’s like 32-38g fat and i have 2 of them per day. Meal replacement bar was like 20g fat srs. I usually don’t eat those but wanted a quick snack pre workout

Wait you're eating a whole lb of ground turkey each meal. I asked earlier how you do that but you didn't answer. Now I'm more curious.

Yes. Tbh I’ve always done it that way since I started lifting, with both ground beef or Turkey just 1 lb at a time. Body might just be used to it idk

I bought some ground turkey yesterday because of this thread lol. I got the 99% lean stuff though. I'm gonna try it tomorrow. I eat a ton of 93 lean ground beef so hopefully I can replace one or two of my regular meals with it.

is that lean ground turkey? like 90+% lean? guess I don't usually eat 2lbs of ground turkey in a day lol

[Ratfish]

seems like most of fat is gonna be left in the pan unless you're a psycho and pour it back onto the meat

[Silencespeaks]

My diet yesterday:

Three pancakes with syrup

Chips

Chocolate

Tomato soup

Two toasted croissants


Total 2k cals

people don't do that?

[DustinTheHuss]

I've overhauled my diet so right now it's similar to this:

Breakfast:

- 2 scrambled eggs in coconut oil
- Fruit

Lunch:

- 40 g Protein shake with 1 tbsp almond butter and almond milk

Dinner:

- Salad with tofu nuggets and ranch dressing.

- High fiber (17 g) cereal with almond milk so I don't wake up starving.

Maybe a banana or cheese stick as a snack if I'm hungry.

Are you a fukking vegetable? Is that like 700 cals? Absolutely no respect for people that eat like this.
