I suck at cutting

[genius1265]

I just feel unsatisfied, today was a great example I had 200 calories for breakfast, and then I probably just ate close too 1000 for lunch (couldnt count just guessing) Now I only have a few hundred left, and Im still hungry and 12 hrs till bed time. Fuuuuuuuuuuu..........

[genius1265]

Same with last night, I felt I was good on my target then crushed an extra 600 before I fell asleep. Its not like I have no will power, I stick to keto but I cant seem to eat in a deficit I just feel hungry.

you're supposed to be hungry on a cut. try eating a ton of low calorie veggies or something if you are hungry and need a snack. diet soda will help stave off the hunger too.

i think lyle mcdonald has an article on his website called '9 ways of dealing w/ hunger while on a cut'.

[genius1265]

I cant seem to do it, its painful.

You say you had 200+1000+a couple hundred more...so lets call it 1700, why so little calories? You should be cutting at LEAST at 2200.

Choose better foods, like oatmeal, if you are still hungry after eating half a cup of it, there are other issues at hand....

This. Also, suck it up. I've gone to bed really hungry a lot of times, get over it.

Stop being a pussy. If you want to be a sexy kunt being hungry sometimes is a price you have to pay.

being hungry must mean you're cutting correctly. I am only dropping by a 500 deficit, and I'm still starving. Even when I go up to maintenance though, I'm still starving. It might just be me. I try to portion my meals out to 5 - 8 meals so I can at least imagine I am eating a lot throughout the day. Though meal timing doesn't matter, 3 larger meals are super small when you cut. I am at 2048 right now. it's not that you crave junk food either, just ****ing food! but, suck it up, it'll be worth it in the long run.

Arent you the ******** stalker? Just put a picture of the red ranger on your fridge so you see it every time you go to grab a bite. Then think, ahhh, that could be me one day. Haha.

Seriously though. Why dont you try skipping breakfast all together, have a 700 cal or so lunch, and then eat like a king at dinner (like, litterally an hour or two before bed), filling out your daily intake. You prob could do a 12kcal dinner or something couldnt you?

been cutting for 2 months and starving like a horse...cutting is the worst, walking around like a hungry mfker...but if you can't handle it you're weak bro, simple truth...

WTF, you're not supposed to be hungry if you're cutting. I'm 3 weeks in, down 6 lbs and am rarely hungry. You guys need to work on your diet.

QFT.

To the OP, look into IF. I started doing that and its the easiest cut diet I've ever seen. Allows you to eat a pretty good meal before bed so you're never hungry when trying to fall asleep. Absolutely love it.

You sucks. Bear with it. Have a better management of yourself.

[pobski]

some people get really hungry on cuts, if they're not following the strict diet of oatmeal, salmon, chicken, and broccoli. That stuff fills you up, but good god it's boring to eat for any stretch of time. If you want something to curb the hunger, get some casein protein powder. That stuff sticks in your tumble for hours. That's just my suggestion. I don't do that anymore, because I'd rather be hungry than mess around with mixing casein powder. I suppose that stirring for like 5 minutes would help distract you from eating as well.

try IF fasting at 236 lbs OP come at me I am about to eat my keyboard at work

It's only boring if you make it so.

To make my chicken I cut up boneless skinless into cubes and stick it in a big pot on the stove. Once a lot of the excess water has been cooked out, I add in McCormick Chipotle Grill Mates packets (these are made for marinade but just add them directly to the chicken and it tastes great and you don't use any oil whatsoever), Sriracha and Frank's Thick Red Hot Sauce. The spice packet, Sriracha and Frank's adds almost no calories. I put this over brown rice and broccoli, and add some more Frank's on top when I eat it.

Try this and tell me it's boring.

Dude.... my eyes and mouth both just watered a little bit reading that. I am deffenetly going to try this! I may throw in a tortillia, and maybe some cheese too. Will have to check macros on it. Thank you sir! Repped for that one.

Yeah it's effing delicious, add in some onions, garlic and red peppers and it's epic.

Spice packet, Sriracha and Frank's add almost nothing to it as they're basically just spices and hot sauces, so for all intents and purposes your macros are the same as just eating plain baked chicken breast.

Oh also, I've found the best amount of spice packets is 1 packet of Chipotle Grill Mates per 1.5 pack of chicken breast (the small ones that contain like 3 breasts, not the family sized ones). So you can cook up 3 packs of chicken, add in 2 spice packets and you've got your chicken for the week.

No doubt. Im talking bout adding cheese and rollin that biatch up in a tortillia.

-EC stack to suppress appetite
-high volume, high fibre, low cal foods
-sugarfree energy drinks and lots of water
-willpower, self-discipline, and deciding how badly you want it

This is what gets me through any cutting phases (especially when it starts to suck hard).

I drink copious cups of black coffee and plenty water - that usually sees me through to meal times!!

Embrace hunger. It won't take long to get used to the feeling. See it as your body's way of informing you that it's burning the excess fat on your body right now. See the hunger as a test of character.
