300 is a stretch even for my big assidk I'll buy some more oats and brown rice and stuff
Although I support and practice having that many carbs on a cut, it will work ONLY IF you are counting calories. It would be waaaayyy too easy to over-consume fat unless you are paying attention. My 50g estimate can be quickly eclipsed
I think 150-200g is a more realistic number for someone who either doesn't get precise with their diet or likes to eat a lot of peanut butter/olive oil/nuts/whatever
How does a small nikka cut brehs 
i lift 6 days a week, run 15 miles a week, eat well (sub 1800 calories, 1/1lb protein intake)
And dont drink AT ALL. Im trying to get that no flex ab thing going on, i think it might be just a weak abs thing perhaps.
Im 5'3 130ish atm, help a breh. I guess im at 12 bf right now, but these last 2 percent is killer. I went into gnc for aids but not ready to blow 89 on some shyt unless u brehs got a better alternative

Granted I'm not your stature but if you are eventually planning to add muscle I would just do that now and worry about cutting later. Slow "bulking" of course.
Thats what im saying lol, that 1800 is food. I would guess i burn ar least 450 or so daily. Like i think im fine atm because i gained strength on most lifts and obvs have fained definition. I just want godlike abs brehI mean how much further are you really going to be able to cut below 1800

. Realistically i prolly only need tomlose 2 pounds at most tbhLet's be reality fam. 2 pounds can't be the difference in getting there. Abs are largely low body fat but it's still a muscle so you have to have it developed as well.Thats what im saying lol, that 1800 is food. I would guess i burn ar least 450 or so daily.

You have probably hit that stubborn-fat level of 10-12%
At this point in time, you need to start employing some tactics because your body will work hard to keep that fat that you have. You are in a state of equilibrium, losing any more fat goes against your evolution
Step 1: Take either a partial diet break or a full diet break for a week or two. A full diet break would be to eat back at your maintenance calories (2500-2700?) for a week, avoid sugar and junk food and make carbs a priority. A partial diet break may be just to add a few hundred calories back into your diet. Jump up to 2200 or so. These options may seem logically counter intuitive, but you have to take into account the hormonal effect that long term dieting and calorie restriction has on your body. You lepetin levels are probably
right now. Jumpstart your metabolism, give it a break. You will likely find that even when you do your calorie increase, you will start losing weight again at the higher calorie level. shyt is magic 
Step 2: Consider using an EC stack. fukk all that GNC shyt, shyt is wack as fukk and you can get something that actually works for less than 20 bucks for a month long dose. Read here if you are scared of EC stack:

Step 3: Stop running so much. Just like with your long term undereating, you are overworking yourself and destroying your metabolism. Your body is starving because it is being underfed for your activity level, and this is likely leading to a drastically reduced amount of NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) as well as a hormonal lockdown being placed on your fat cells. Give yourself fuel, your body will reward you
Step 4: Consider switching to a very low carb diet with bi-weekly or weekly carb-refeeds. This will help alleviate some of the hormonal issues causing your plateau. The carb-refeeds will be crucial to keep your energy levels up. This is not a necessary step, though it may help.
Step 5: Be realistic. Those people you see on magazine covers are likely A) on steroids or clenbuterol or hgh or something else, B) dehydrated for the photo shoot, C) properly tanned and lighted. Those glistening, deep cut 8-packs that you desire are not normal, and naturals rarely walk around like that unless you are doing EVERYTHING right. And aint nobody got time for that. Only judge your midsection in the morning when you are at low hydration levels, your midsection appearance will vary DRASTICALLY throughout the day based on what you eat. Stop chasing ghosts and be happy with just being lean.
Step 6: Wait. Single digit body fat takes time, effort, and patience.

Not that I have visible abs but the core strength I am developing is coming from compound movements. Front squats alone work my core crazy.

been slimming down recently and just noticed today my favorite fitting pair of Levis feel and fit much more baggy. i'm not trying to buy any new clothes until i've reached my goal weight but i aint tryna go out looking like i'm a high school freshman.
fellow weight loss gym brehs, what do you guys do about "transitional" clothes?
I Been wearing alot of Sweat pants and sweat short combinations. Simple V or Crew neck lol.
But if you are talking about professional or night time joint, your screwed. Just gotta splurge. Try to buy them one size too small and hope you can squeeze into them. And then eventually fit them.
