LOL damn if u think thats elite, try 0 calories. Works. You won't die.

Just make sure to start eating slowly.

Either way we lose muscle.

I literally maintain my weight at 1400 calories.

Though I've managed to slowly build muscle under that and replace fat with some core.

awesome dude. I'm 194 right now with a little belly fat and I am giving it til halfway thru march before i begin cutting down.

I'm actually pretty excited for cutting. I too will be doing IF. I love fasting and eating less because my brain kicks into a higher gear. Eating a lot puts so much energy into digestion and shitting.

You can continue making STRENGTH gains while cutting. Obviously your mass will go down. However if done long enough, your muscles will be puffier and look bigger even if you don't weigh more.

running is a boring nightmare that destroys your hips and knees, if you need cardio just swim or row

walking is also vastly underrated as it destroys your body at a significantly slower rate

love ur post there pal. I personally swim for my cardio and also sit in hot baths and saunas. Walking is the only exercise that I believe is as beneficial, if possibly more beneficial than swimming, because you can maintain a conversation with your pal as you trek through GFay

Yeah you can cut and still gain muscle. It's way harder

My main issue is when I lift in the morning. It's so much worse than after work. Doing chest this morning really succ'ed ass. I was dragging all day. Maybe it's because my lunch was a single can of tuna with 20g of protein but only like 130 calories

Chest day

Don't know if ya'll fatties like running, but I just downloaded an app on my phone called Sweatcoin. It claims to "pay" you for the steps you take, but I haven't tried redeeming the currency for anything. If it's on the level, could be pretty cool, if you get a lot of steps under you.

Can redeem their currency for some decent shit. Giftcards, Fitbits, etc.

If anyone else been using it longer and can confirm it's not just a big fat lie, that'd be swell. So far, it at least forces me to get off my ass more.
