191.8 Lbs (Really surprised that scale weight "stuck")
Okay gym session. I didn't grind any DB bench reps to protect the shoulder and also just did light landmine presses to just slowly work through that pressing motion. I noticed that BTN DB tricep presses were aggravating the shoulder when I got up to working weights and that was a new movement in the routine, so I swapped back to skull crushers today for a couple sets and will keep the BTN presses out. Bumped weighted pull-ups a dime and worked nice full ROM sets of 6 reps will build these reps. It was okay overall nothing mind blowing.
I feel like I should be leaner at this bodyweight, but then I have to remind myself that I am kind of at a falsely lower bodyweight since I know that I would likely gain about 6lbs and fill out with carbs, and I have never dieted with carbs this low. I plan to keep trucking along with this and maybe eventually do a carb up and drop my fats for a day hit protein and hit 300g or so of carbs and see how I fill out. I won't even bother doing this Until I'm in the 180s though, and I have no desire for a cheat meal or anything else at this point. I am making some minor dietary adjustments, and will probably bring my calories up just a little bit, but remain on "keto like diet" with higher protein and fats and very low net carb, because its working well for me...

Got a walk in around lunchtime today to look for deer antlers for the dog to chew on. Didn’t find any antlers but when I kicked up the deer herd, none were wearing any so they must have dropped them. I’ll be getting out on more “walks” until I thoroughly cover the areas this herd hangs out. Pretty slow pace, but mixed terrain.
Scared a coyote about out of his fur, he was sleeping on a hillside, and I snuck up pretty close before he woke up pretty much at a full sprint . It looked like he covered about 75 yards before his feet touched the ground. He will be sleeping with one eye open for awhile.
45min / about 2.5 miles according to phone.

Thanks Scott! The fat loss is the main progress to me, when I get going it builds momentum in the gym to some extent, especially as I start really seeing the progress. I'm not really making new progress on weights, anything that is increasing is just regaining lost ground from last year being pretty abysmal due to the shoulder etc.
Yepper, enroute to manlet status, one week at a time. I have to live vicariously through your lifts That 495x3 was insane. I think Ive done 495x2 as my best in a session, but it was actually two singles Your a deadlifting machine. Its awesome not being starving, amazing actually. I went to bed last night without even a twinge of hunger at 2300 cals (a high cal day lately ) and felt great in the gym today.
FRIDAY!! 3/9/18
192.0 Lbs
Woke up kinda early (for me) today, but felt like a million bucks in the gym. Slightly higher cals yesterday, just felt stronger by a wide margin. Squats were great, 315x8 was easier than the sets of 5 on Tuesday which made me feel all warm and fuzzy...Everything went well and felt great. I was tempted to throw some weight on the bar after my planned work sets on squats, but then just decided to end on a positive of feeling good about hitting my desired reps. Have to go get beat on at a meeting in a bit, but feeling like I can take on the world right now....

192.8 lbs
The plan today is some shopping, maybe some cardio/shoulder rehab, walking in a St. Patrick’s Day parade for my daughter’s Girl Scouts, and probably some grilling/food prep. Need to hit Sams club on the platinum status early open hours for some spinach, mushrooms, check on meat deals, maybe grab a salmon, then perhaps to the gym. I’d rather go walk the woods and let the dog try to sniff out some deer antlers to chew on, but it’s going to be pretty cold until late morning and I’m kinda done with winter temps at this point.
Have a big package of chkn thighs soaking in Franks red hot, and those will go on the grill later, and some really good looking sirloin steaks thawing out that will probably get dry rub and broiled. Probably try to squeeze a 40 min nap in the day somewhere if I can fit it, look forward to that opportunity all week . We change the clocks tonight an hour ahead, which is like waking up at 2-2:30am initially, takes some getting used to.
Did lots of shoulder rehab, face pulls, rear delt machine etc. didn’t do much cardio, I’ll get some walking in later and was getting pretty hungry.

193.6 lbs
A bit of a jump on the scale today, could be from higher sodium yesterday from added salt to foods, or just a normal uptick before another drop. Numbers for the week ended up about where I want them to be, even though the last two days scale weight skewed them up a little. Average scale weight for the week was 192.8lbs for a loss of 1.7 lbs at an average daily intake of 2200 cals/day. This suggests my TDEE is still really high for me at around 3000 cals/day...Crazy.
I didn’t get around to bulk cooking yesterday, so will need to do that today. Think I’ll throw a lean roast in the crockpot now, steaks will go in broiler later and I’ll grill the chkn thighs midday. Dailight savings time starts so I lost an hour of my precious weekend the time should adjust forward an hour on Monday at noon or something....
Might try to get some cardio in this morning since walking at parade pace yesterday didn’t elevate my heart rate any. I’ll probably miss the next two Wed morning due to some planned OT early starts at work.

192.4 Lbs.
Backed off a little in the gym today in intensity, and overall volume to let the L shoulder get a little more rest, its been sore and I think its partially due to pushing so hard on BB bench. SO didn't do any overload sets and work higher rep ranges and just touched one set at my current working weight. Overall it was decent, pretty much a clock punch session, but put in the work.

Not a bad scale weight considering heavy dinner. Decent session today. I didn't really feel like 3x5 on squats so I changed it up a little today. Deads felt good, like I was firing correctly. Everything else was pretty good. great energy etc.

Thanks, yep still have a good amount of time before it’s shirtless season, it was snowing yesterday, winter seems to be clinging on. I’m ready for warmer weather, my daughter has been asking when we can go fishing and camping lol. Not yet!
Wednesday 3/14/18
190.6 lbs.
Pretty much same weight trend as last week with a Wed drop on the scale. I’m up extra early for a very long work day, but I’ll bank some comp time on the books and keep building that up for when the weather finally cooperates so I can do something. Won’t get a gym session in today, but will try to get another walk in.
Dog was thrilled I found him a deer antler yesterday. He only put it down to eat dinner, set it next to his food bowl . The buck in the vid was a big 12 point, hopefully if I keep following the deer trails and checking the bedding areas I’ll find him a big antler instead of the little pring horn I found yesterday.
I’m kind of hungry this morning, hopefully coffee will turn that down a notch. I’ll probably swap my normal morning shake for solid food today in hopes of a little longer satiation for the calories.

Thursday 3/15/18
192.0 lbs
Scale bumped back up from yesterday, I thought yesterday seemed a bit on the low, but I looked a little watery today, so perhaps I will be seeing a true 190 soon. Short term goal is I would like to be 185 by May 1st. That seems like a reasonable loss rate, on the low end really and I could very well exceed that, but that is the minimum Id like to achieve. I will not be concerned with muscle loss as long as I can train hard and don't see lifts start to tank. To me that is a primary indicator that something is "off" (poor recovery, calories too low etc) and muscle loss could become a risk. So far numbers are not looking promising for much more than a 1lb loss this week, but that's okay, that could be made up the following week and progress is being made.
I felt pretty good about the session, I made some minor tweaks and will only do landmine shoulder press 1X per week and Dips 2X per week. Might swap in a different row variant next week for DB rows, I can't bump the weight on the Oly handle unless I go to 155 and that would be too much. I wish the gym had a chest supported row machine, I'd like to keep my lower back out of my row movement on Thursday for lower back recovery between squats and deads on Tuesday and squats and RDLs on Friday...Maybe some landmine rows, cable rows, or use an incline bench as a makeshift chest supported row variant with a barbell IDK...
Shoulder was a little cranky initially, but seemed okay after I got going. Touched the end of the DB rack for a couple trial sets with the 100s, all reps slow and controlled. Might just go ahead and bring those into the mix soon and keep my BB bench days a little higher rep since the DBs seem a bit more shoulder friendly. Grabbed an extra couple reps on weighted pull-ups, but was struggling to match reps on the last sets, just where I want to be...

190.4 lbs - well that’s weird back down today.....
Shaping up to me a great weekend, starting with a nice drop back down on the scale. Took the day off work today, have the makings for another batch of Gardineria (don’t know how to spell it) going to make it with avocado oil this time so the oil stays liquid when refridgerated. Have my 6yo daughters Girl Scouts “Daddy Daughter Dance” tonight, looking forward to that even though my suite is gonna be pretty loose. Have a lot of fun stuff planned for the weekend, should probably try to get some range time in at some point too. Got a couple more pairs of Lucky Athletic cut pants yesterday and another pair of Levi 541s arriving today, so I should be all set on pants unless I drop down to a 30” waist next the 32s are plenty roomy already.
Workout was good this morning, not much progress but felt worked, and energy was great (good sleep last night). Did some no handed squats after my worksets just because I havn5 for awhile. Definitely a different feeling and core work work.

If it’s like premade burritos or something I’ll slip out to the car and slam shake and take a pass on the salmonella dinner....if I’m having a “cheat meal” is sure as fuk ain’t gonna be that slop when my favorite Mexican place is probably putting missing pictures of me on the wall
M4 6:30pm (2200c/220p/127f)

Was actually really good, meat was a bit too salty but seemed quality.
All the daughters ditched the dads to dance together.....Pretty much just running around screamingLast edited by Plateauplower; 03-16-2018 at 06:40 PM.

So is a dear antler a real treat for a dog? Can imagine it's like a bone but maybe softer and a bit of marrow when fresh?
Always think of Coyotes as a desert animal ... how far away from the city is your stand?
I don't recall seeing you do theRDLs from that angle .... really getting deep with a great hip hinge and hammie stretch. Making that look weight through that range look like very easy work Tim!
And how did you get so close to the buck ... looked like you could have grabbed him
Ha ... you may have felt that 3rd rep slow down but that was 3 heavy reps knocked out on 12 seconds ... always a pleasure watching your squats because of your commitment, speed and consistency ... looked great to me , plus looking really trim in the vid
And smashed out 455 x 3 on the deads
Sounds familiar .... I hope the dads had some beers while the daughters ignored them
Slowly pegging away at that weight .... looks like you're going to hit the 180s sometime this week"Better to wear out than rust out!"

Saturday 3/17/18 - Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
190.4 lbs
Scale drop seems legit at this point. Guess the week might turn out a little better than I was thinking in terms of scale loss. I’m going to do some cardio and shoulder rehab this morning since I missed the gym Wed and will miss next Wed too for early starts at work. Daddy daughter dance was fun. Chopped all my veg for Giardinieria and it’s in the brine in the fridge. Need to drain, rinse, weigh it then add my seasonings, garlic, avocado oil, olives and stuff and figure out the macros on this batch. Not sure what the plan is today, freezing rain right now, so it won’t be working on my tan
Macros for avocado oil / veg
jalapeño peppers, green peppers, multi colored peppers, cauliflower, celery, red onion, carrots, garlic, green olives, oregano, seasonings etc, 2 big botttles cold pressed avocado oil (136 servings)
Veg (except olives and garlic cloves) are chopped small and soaked for 18 hrs or so in a stock pot with 2 cups of kosher salt, apple cider vinegar and water. Then drained and rinsed with water to get rid of salt, 2.5 cups of dried oregano, 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic, 53 servings of green olives and 2 big bottles of avocado oil are added. Would have added 1/2 cup of crushed red pepper flakes, but apparently I’m out...then it sits for a day or two in fridge stirred occasionally until bottling in random saved glass jars.
Seems to be the best batch yet, I could eat it every meal.

Ya my dog absolutely loves chewing on deer antlers. If I give him a rawhide bone he just carries them around and hides them/buries them if outside. He will sit and chew on a deer antler non stop. No marrow in them. Just calcium and whatever else. Coyotes are everywhere. That vid is inside one of the facilities where I work. There’s an area on the edge that looks like they could film “The Walking Dead” and that’s where all the wildlife lives. That’s pretty close to Chicago, in a fully developed urban area. I’m not sure why that buck let me get so close got close, he’s either stupid, fearless, or just kind of tame from living within the facility and being “safe”. I’ve seen a lot of signs of people feeding the deer, and he’s probably a 5 year old deer, the does and fawns usually run well before I get that close. I had a herd of about 15-20 deer running ahead of me the other day after I covered the areas looking for antlers.
Ya I don’t vid RDLs much, just grabbed one to see how my form was. 315 is manageable, it’s heavy enough to get work but I can still focus on my hamstrings. If I go too heavy on them I lose the hammy focus and start to use too much lower back.
On the squats the second rep at 365 felt really good, so it just made me mad that I hit a wall on the 3rd. After watching the vid, it was faster than it felt, probably should have tried for another rep.
No beer at the dance. It was mostly dads looking at their phones. We actually danced almost the entire time. My daughter decided it was more fun to be dance with me than run around screaming. I’m guessing because I really upped my game and was twirling her around, and tossing her around. Made my shoulder sore . The moms that were there told my wife yesterday about how I was about the only Dad dancing yesterday at their cookie booth thing, scored some bonus points there . 180s happened today
Sunday 3/18/17
189.6 lbs
I don’t think that weight will stick, pretty dry this morning and didn’t use it in the weekly numbers because I did the math yesterday and just used 6 days. The week turned out decent at an average weight of 191.3 lbs, for a loss of 1.5lbs from last weeks avg weight of 192.8 lbs. daily intake was around 2175, which means TDEE is holding steady just over 2900 cals/day. I’m shocked I’ve lost 23 lbs in 11 weeks and my metabolism isn’t broken from dat der “starvation mode” .
Today is cooking day, and I have skinless thighs soaking in Franks red hot, a big package of sirloin steaks, a fresh salmon for dinner and a fresh trout for sometime soon. I’m going to have to be careful with my last batch of Giardineria or whatever it’s called, it is amazing. I just want to eat the entire vat of it . Will probably get that bottled today. Great fat source though. Supposed to be nice out around 50 degrees. Hopefully get the family out for some outside time and wear out the crazy dog. We took him for a short walk yesterday in his new face harness thing that will prevent him from pulling my wife like she’s water skiing behind him when he sees a squirrel or anything else that interests him (cause he’s an azzhole like that...I call it his Hannibal Lecter mask and he HATES it because he physically cannot pull. If he tries it just pulls his head sideways or down or something pretty funny. He spent most of the walk trying to bite at it. It’s got a thing that goes over his nose, and behind his head, he looked crazy snapping at the air, spinning around trying to paw it off. It’s for his benefit though so my wife can actually walk him, he’s way too strong for her now when he decides to go after a squirrel etc. He’s pretty good for me on the leash after just a few times of him jerking my arm and I jerk him back hard enough that he about does a back flip. Dog is very smart but extremely hard headed, I swear he’s from a wild dog lineage. I gave him a bone from a spiral ham yesterday and he went and buried it for later, that’s gonna smell nice in a few days....

I use the Franks red hot because it doesn’t have any carbs, just peppers and vinegar. It turns out great on boneless skinless chicken thighs. They are pretty much like hot wings but no bones. I add a little garlic powder and Cajun seasoning while they are grilling, and cook them until the edges start to get crispy. I found the thighs marked down to $1.48/lb so I grabbed 30lbs. All my freezer space is pretty much at capacity with bargain meats right now .
Monday 3/19/18
190.2 lbs
Have a 7am meeting at a remote facility which really sucks on a Monday because that’s bring my weeks worth of food to work day, plus I could be stuck at this place for awhile so I need to prep a couple meals. Might be eating cold steak, and plain cold chkn thighs, but I’ll manage.
Going to take BB bench by feel today. I think pushing on that lift could be contributing to the shoulder discomfort so perhaps a slightly lighter load will help. I hate to lower intensity in a deficit, but I think I can get a little extra intensity bumping up my DB bench on Thursdays. Ordered some Cissus to try out for improved joint health. Pretty inexpensive so worth a shot along with the high potency turmeric I’ve been taking.
5:05 - 6:20 / 75 min / 43 Sets
What I lacked in intensity today, I tried to make up with volume. Pretty much took all of my reps slow on presses, amazing the difference it makes on the shoulder having just the perfect bar path on bench, and stopping before I start to really struggle. Overall it was okay, punched the clock and put in that half of the work.

Just an FYI--what really seemed to improve the pain in my shoulder over the last year or so was varying the type of benching I was doing each lifting cycle. I do 12 weeks, deload, and then start another 12 cycle for example.
So for my first 12 weeks, all I did for benching was incline bench with regular barbell. When that cycle was over, I only did flat bench with Swiss bar the following 12 weeks. After that you can mix in decline benching w/either bar, incline with Swiss (really interesting lift IMO), close-grip, flat, etc. I'll also mix in some dumbbell work, which never really irritated my shoulder (mainly due to the fact that my dumbbells only go up to 60 pounders so obviously very light).
I know when I used to do combinations of flat, incline, decline, Swiss bar, close-grip, etc. all in the same workout weekly--my shoulder seemed to get a lot more inflamed/achy. So just kind of picking one main benching exercise and sticking with it for a cycle has helped a lot. Also, I've taken turmeric capsules for a couple years now and they help a ton with just general muscle inflammation.

I generally only do one compound chest pressing movement per session 3-4 work sets. Last time I tried incline it was no good on shoulder, but should probably try again. For now I will just lighten it up a little on the barbell. They felt good today, I took each rep very slow and kept the bar path perfect and no issues. I would love a swiss bar to be able to use that hammer grip. DBs seem like a good work around to me too, but they only go to 100s, which is fine for right now, but would be nice if they went a little higher. I will mix CGBP in again at some point primarily as a triceps movement.
I have been taking 1000 mg Tumeric and just ordered some Cissus which is also supposed to help according to Induced Drag. Worth a shot, its pretty cheap, reviews looked promising.

I've only messed with a Swiss bar once at a PL gym by where I grew up (Think it was a home fabricated model). Awkward AF, but I like that hammer grip, and it would be great right now for the shoulder.
LOL, he seems like a he does a lot of research on things before recommending them, figured its worth a try. I bought a bottle of capsules and ended up buying a jar of powder too since the dose is around 4-6g day to be effective according to what I read. Never tried Osteo-Bioflex, I'm going to run with the Cissus first and see if it helps. Want to be able to singularly identify what helps if anything turns out to be effective.

Decent day in the gym, I felt really strong until my heaviest sets and lost a rep on squats and deads, but probably just a high gravity day and I didn't really push myself to death rep range. I worked hard and feel like I got some decent training in. Was going to do a lot more volume at 315 on deads, something similar to 5/3/1 BBB (5x10 @315) but just did one set and moved on to my ISO stuff. Maybe next week, or every other week I'll ramp up some lighter weight volume.

Great work going on buddy, still holding some really good strength as the scale sheds the pounds! Squats and deads are usually such a grind in a deficit but the forward progress you will make when this is all said and done is going to be fantastic!

Yea still making good progress on the diet, it’s never been so easy for me, this is great. Heavy squats and deads kinda suck no matter what, I don’t look forward to my heavy sets even when in a surplus and making progress . I should gain back any strength lossses pretty rapidly when this cut is all done. It might be awhile though, if it keeps being this comfortable to diet I’ll probably ride it out and get shredded. It will slow down or I will slow it down eventually, so it could be late summer early fall by the time it’s done.

Last year I didn't dip below 200, but 2016 I went down to 187, 2015 186 but both were MUCH later in the year, and that was pretty much a brief low. I am going to take it further this year, how far I don't know, kind of depends on how it goes. I'd like to get pretty lean though, I've toyed with the idea of doing a Natty Masters show (big maybe there) if I can get down to stage conditions, learn how to pose and will need to spend time doing mock peaks to see what I need to do in terms of carbs to fill out and not spill over and look soft and puffy. Just as a guess, and based on what a guy that's prepping for a comp at my gym told me that would take about another 20lbs (high 160s to 170) if I don't lose much muscle on the way down. I'd like to keep the pace a little more rapid until the mid to low 180s. I think Realistically I could be 180 by June and I would look pretty lean for walking around at that weight but its hard to say. I know we always carry WAY more fat than we think we do so its really hard to say... This diet has been by far FAR the most comfortable I've ever been and I feel great right now so I have no reason at all to stop..

Decent day in the gym, energy was great and I felt good and made a little progress on some things. A little extra volume doing some fluff / shoulder rehab at the end. Overall it was good, added some rest pause reps to pull-ups, dips felt awesome today, shoulder felt very stable doing them and I might actually add some weight at some point which is a good sign, I love the movement...I reduced weight on DB rows and added some reps. the oly handle loaded with 25lb plates to get it to 125 (128 actually) shortens the top of the ROM and prevents me from getting as good of a feeling and squeeze. I'll eventually swap these out for something else that's easy on the lower back....

If you feel somewhat accurate with calculating or estimating your current bodyfat (calipers, visual chart, or perhaps even the Navy's measurement calculator), you could mathematically approximate how much weight to lose to get to __% bodyfat but you should probably estimate a small portion of your weightloss between now and then could be lean mass. But that's not necessary and you can just keep going because as you wrote, you feel great and have no reason to stop. You carry enough mass to be very impressive when lean!!!

I really don't care to try to be precise in regard to actual body fat percentage right now. In reality it wouldn't even matter much if I were to try to actually compete in regard to actual accurate percentage, since specific percentage will look a little different person to person anyway (obviously would need to be in single digits because natty contest success would hinge on being very well conditioned rather than size). The weight I am estimating is based on my height and what others step on stage at for natty comps. Since I don't think of myself as an "outlier" I figure that's close enough for now in terms of what I need to lose. Losing some LBM is absolutely going to happen, no doubt. I am pretty confident I can keep from losing very much actual muscle if I "do it right" but there will be LBM loss due to fluid, etc etc...
I actually got a very nice compliment at the gym today, one of the morning guys said I was getting huge, which was nice to hear when dieting. I told him its just an illusion from getting leaner. He asked what I weighed and I told him 190 and was shocked said he thought I weighed 240 , I've been 240+ before, not a good look on my 5'9" frame , especially considering I had taken about a decade off training when I was up there...I hope I can look good when I get lean, its funny my skin seems to be doing better with the higher fats for sure, when I would run them lower, I had loose skin around my waist at this bodyweight. Not an issue yet which is a good sign.

190.0 Lbs (ham weight/ extra sodium yesterday)
Good session today, Amazon delivered new UA gym shirts, new headphones, new knee sleeves, good times. Like the new gym shirts enough that ordered 6 more old Wal-Mart Russell athletic shirts were getting pretty rough after 2 years of abuse. Put in the work, made a little progress bumped a couple sets of preacher curls and my last set of RDLs to feel out a 10lb bump (felt like more than 10, but I'll work it up). Did a couple sets of no handed squats after my work sets, great core work.

188.4 lbs
Little later weigh-in and kind of dry / thirsty this morning. We have a meal out planned for today at lunch with wife’s family to see the Easter Bunny. It’s at Home-Run Inn Chicago pizza place. Shouldn’t be too hard to navigate through that, they have a Buffett that is heavy on pizza, pasta etc, but I should be able to find some food that will work. Hitting fat and sodium in that meal certainly won’t be a problem, I’ll probably try to adjust my feeding times so I’m not super hungry when we get there to make eyeballing portions a little easier/more realistic .
Going to hit my cardio session at the gym this morning. It’s going to be a nasty day outside, looking forward to the weather changing and having weekend activity outside replace indoor treadmill (although I don’t mind it really, just crank on some music and watch news for an hour). Numbers looking decent so far for the week. Should be 1.5 lb loss or so which is the target.

It's always good to see wildlife thriving in the city ... wouldn't expect so many deers in the middle of Chicago though
Nice to have a ready pool of antlers to collect
Great form on your vid Tim ... most people doing RDLs do go too heavy and don't keep that hammie focus. 315 is a really solid weight for such tight form
So many Brownie points!
That's an awesome deal on the chicken thighs ... a quick calculation makes that 1000g protein for $15!
And good move keeping the pressing slow and controlled = plenty of TuT and shoulders staying sweet
Under 190 now and still squatting 365 and deadlifting 455 for reps
From on the DB bench looks perfect to me ... great range and tight!
Hard work in the kitchen paying off!
Would be cool to see you compete in a BB contest"Better to wear out than rust out!"
Squat 165kg/363lbs
Deadlift 190kg/418lbs

Yea the deer have little sanctuaries. There’s actually a much larger population in the forest preserves than where I hunt. Every once and awhile they have to cull them because without hunting they tend to overpopulate and start getting diseased (they can’t spread out really beyond the various preserves).
I’ve been trying to keep from really tight on all my lifts. Injuries suck and I don’t need another. Haven’t lost too much yet, but lifts are down some, part of that is being more careful with form too, avoiding death reps sometimes while still trying to get plenty of hard work in.
Kitchen work has been easy, really enjoying what I’m eating and not starving all day.
Yep, well ahead of where I usually am by the this time of the year. I’ll be in speedo shape by summer at this rate .

188.4 lbs
Closing out the week likely with a rest day. It was pretty good, scale loss is still moving along faster than expected. Average weight for the week is 189.5 lbs for a loss of 1.8lbs from last weeks average of 191.3 lbs. Average calories for the week were about 2150, which indicates my TDEE was 3050 cals/day. In reality it would be a little closer to 3100 since I don’t count cals from coffee or intra wo drink of BCAAs and usually a scoop of pre-wo mixed in.
It seems unquestionable that there is some kind of metabolic advantage eating this way for me, both in terms of TDEE increase as well as hunger control. I’ve tracked my intake accurately for almost 4 years now, and I’ve never had a TDEE this high, or felt as comfortable in a deficit. Even when the deficit was only resulting in .5 lb per week, I would be much hungrier and pretty miserable by now eating my normal 100-125 grams of carbs per day at about the same total calories, slightly higher protein and much less fat. Way ahead of schedule in terms of goals, good place to be.
Probably rest today and recover from a solid week of training. Already got my chkn b and beef stew meat cooked for the week. Probably cook some salmon or trout today and take it easy. Weather is going to be crappy again here, but I think it’s supposed to warm up through the week. Will have a nice short work week with Jury duty on Thursday and taking Friday off.
