My calories right now is 2176 for cutting, but it seems that every day after around 5 o'clock I just binge on tons of crap and can't stop myself. I also work at dunkin donuts and just 1 donut is 310 calories so it's hard to fit it into my macros which in turn just leads me to overeat. I feel like some days I definetly eat 3000...any tips on how to control this more?

You need to develop some self control.

Well, I see a lot of people saying there at a 500 cal deficit at 8:00 PM and can eat a bunch of ice cream. Does 2 big meals earlier in the day really hold people off til 8:00 at night? After I work and out and eat i'm extremely hungry like an hour later :|Originally Posted by WonderPug

^ Intermittent Fasting (IF) works wonders for some folks.
Take a look at www.leangains.com and/or http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=131542323.

^ Your caloric intake is likely catastrophically insufficient and, by the way, why are you trying to cut? I would think you'd want to bulk.
Phal: Good call

just trying to gain lean muscle without putting on any weight, should I just be eating at maintenance?Originally Posted by WonderPug

Firstly, how can you put on weight (gain lean body mass) by losing or even maintaining your weight?Originally Posted by Cashiuss
Next, at your height/weight, you likely need to eventually bulk up by 20 to 40 pounds if you want an athletic appearance.

Well, i'm very lean and defined, but of course I don't look very muscular with a shirt on due to my weight. Also, I don't have a gym accessible so I do all my workouts at home with dumb bells and body weight. How many cals do I need to be eating then, I really don't want to be big, just defined. I used the 31-37 cals/k and it came out to about 2660 at maintenance. Does that sound right?Originally Posted by PhiSig2298

OP:
Think of it this way. The satisfaction of eating that donut lasts maybe 15-20 seconds. The satisfaction of having the body you want will last alot longer, maybe even years if you are dedicated.
I for one would rather have the body than that donut. This is of course assuming that you are eating over maintenance when you don't want to.
Or, make the donuts fit into your macros.
