You’re right. Wanna know why?

Because Billay is still fat.

1700 Billay. Stop messing around and get in a decent calorie deficit.

im consistently @1600-1800 calories a day. Surely he can do better than me?

LMAO dude that's a HUGE cut. My TDEE is around 3k

you have GOT to help yourself, if you're serious.

Sounds like poor calculation to me unless your job is very physical.

And is that why you haven't lost any weight in months?

I know many guys your size who DO take a pretty significant cut in calories to lean up. I am talking guys who are also trying to maintain their muscle mass. Catabolism of muscle mass is very over-rated as long as your protein is very high, so taking a drastic cut can speed up the process of leaning out. I really see no reason you should't be under 2k calories.

I've cut on 1500 calories a day.

210g protein x4 calories = 840 calories
60g fat x9 calories = 540 calories
25g carbs x 4 calories = 100 calories

Total = 1480 calories.

Your choice to be a fan

Damn bruh 210g of protein on that small of a intake? What were you eating?

Lean meats. It’s not hard to get that, plus the increased fat allowed some eggs and cheese as well.

You only do 25g carbs a day? Holy shit.

Keto FTW.

When I’m really trying to cut, yes.

But even now at maintenance I only do 50g of carbs most day except Saturday (eat what I want that day). And usually once during the week I’ll have a meal with about 50g carbs at dinner on a workout day. But other than that, it’s low carb. I honestly like eating this way now. Been doing it many years.

I don’t believe in full Keto for most people. And definitely not for someone who likes to lift weights consistently. Your body does need some carbs. If I did more endurance type exercise I’d increase my carbs more, but I mostly just lift weights so they aren’t as needed and I stay leaner by limiting carbs.

I'm going to keep mine under 150g but I'm taking your advice and eating only 1800 cals except for Saturdays when I do my extremely hard HIIT I will consume 3000.

100% agree with that plan. I like one higher calorie day during week. It’s a nice break if nothing else.
