Try either stronglifts, starting strength or west side for skinny b*stards

Id do whatever you can make time for, find these in the gym directory thread

@MMSex, I have a typical office job and hit the gym 3 days a week and 2 days of light cardio, in terms of calorie calculators, what would be the best settings to get the most accurate results and why? Most have told me to use sedentary and the most minimal settings. Is this correct?

I'm 205 trying to get to 190

If you are working hard in the gym I would set it at a moderate activity level and monitor losses for 2-3 weeks. Most people fall in to that moderate to average level if they are dedicated to working out. You have to be honest with yourself on that front.

the calculator ADD is using may not be the same as the one in this guide

the one hour allotted in the guide(20,3, 1 <Moderate) is for workouts(weight training)

remember that this is an average of 7 days, not just your workout days. Use the guide as written. @Roid Jones

going back to leangains brehs. 1600cals on off days and 2000cals on training days, which i think is around the (-20/0) split

 

[K-Deini]

actually after doing the math i could do 2478 on training days and 1652 on rest days. should i try this one or stick with the 2000/1600? suggestions?

also is it vital that i primarily eat proteins/fats on rest days and proteins/carbs on training days? or as long as cals match up it doesnt make too much of a difference?

this may help

as far as your numbers, you just need to be in a weekly deficit and you will lose weight, as with any diet. Leangains just better helps you preserve muscle

2478 is your maintenance? 0/-20 would look more like 2478/2000. In which case 2000/1600 = -20/-40

It's hilarious how the community felt the need to oversimplify...

Generally speaking, carbs and total calorie intake is highest on training days. On rest days, carbs are lower and fat is higher. Protein is kept high on all days.

...into "proteins/fats on rest days and proteins/carbs on training days."

The increased carbs on training days is to match the metabolic need of your session. Outside of that, yea it comes down to calories. It's not necessary to keto on off days or ignore fats on training days.

no my maintenance is 2065 according to the formula they showed, so those numbers of 2478 would be the 20% over and 1652 would be the 20% under

Going the recomp route?

I think @GinaThatAintNoDamnPuppy! tried this before. He may have some useful insight.

i honestly dont know which route to go. if i did the recomp and was trying to lose ten pounds it says it would take til mid april then the -20/0 model says mid feb, none really offer anything before january. i may just be too focuse don numbers tho because ive seen people say they didnt lose any body weight but lost the fat and maintained muscle.

Can always do a consistent deficit.

sometimes its better to bulk tbh youve already lost a bit of weight. I went through the same trials. More muscle will make cutting more fruitful even if its only a couple of pounds
