subtract 500-800 from 2557

pretty close estimates i might say

one of the biggest purposes of my version of IIFYM is to preserve muscle, technically you can get away with higher deficits, but the reason i limit it to 800 is not only for mental stability but also to allow you to still get enough protein

the goal is to have a good shape at the end of the journey, not be skinny fat and regretting your work

Hard number, activity is accounted for in the number

As I said to ocmf, workout cals fluctuate to much to make gross assumptions on what is being burned

@kolo all men are different and require different cals based on age and body size I strongly advocate the 500-800 number, it's not a race and doing it the right way the first time goes along way to making this a lifestyle as opposed to a fad

I was 233lbs when I started my diet and exercise plan on June 1st of this month...I'm currently at 224.

This is with me having cheat days where I eat whatever I feel like.

This is due to me cutting down significantly on soft drinks,sweets,fried foods and putting in time at the gym every other day.

Thank you based MMSex

Time for me to get scientific with this shyt. Sick of not knowing whether what i do is the smart thing to do or not. *proceeds to read thread*

first post is all you need

even then, the beauty in calorie counting is once you know what something is you dont have to look it up again

so if you like me, and eat 10 different things tops. This is disgustingly easy

i wouldnt count workout calories if you do, youll get inconsistent results. Youll think your cardio water weight losses = fat losses

weight lifting and cardio do add to the deficit, but the number isnt constant or a function of anything measureable(even with body trackers etc)

best thing to do is set the deficit and hunker down(as stated at the end of the guide)

 

[RicanFury]

not sure if ya remember me posting about being at 18.5 percent bodyfat and thinking i hit a wall i got my bodyfat checked today, about 2 months in between the last check down to 13.0 % brehs im gonna attibute this to taking advice from here to switch to heavier lifts rather than high rep lower weights andf the calorie deficit with food intake. good looks coli im on my way
