So I think my body is in starvation mode.
Right now im 6'1 173lbs...I think I only have another 5 to 10lbs to go (cutting).
Why I think im in starvation mode:
I just got an Apple Watch.
Today was a typical weekday for me.
My stats are showing ill probably end the day burning about 3,400 calories (im more active than I thought)...
...thing is, ive been eating 2,000 calories a day....
...way under eating.
Should I up my calories to the 3,000 range on days like this?

You might need to have a few days where you eat at maintenance or even higher and then continue
Today was a good day. Biked, hit chest and abs. Didn't go all out, just needed to get back into things.
Back tomorrow.
Back tomorrow.

When I started working out I quickly realized that most ppl be on something. The average person can’t get gains like that. I’ve always wondered how athletes get in shape in a month looks wise but it takes common folks the whole damn year.

Most got some type of cheat code.
Man I underestimated how much my soreness would greatly impact my sleep. I was KOd for a good 7.5 hrs. Missed the bus to catch my train so I had to drive into work. Today is back day so I'm expecting even more fatigue.
Gonna hit the sack much earlier tonight.

Because of caffeine?

I don’t know everyone isn’t on caffeine
Caffeine can help training but it's not really helping change a physique. Definitely not the factor between those making gains and those who aren't.

That’s what I’m saying. The average person can’t train all day everyday but even the natural ones that do aren’t making the gains these actors, and athletes do. Hell Gucci is the poster boy for natural and hard work in my eyes we’ve been seen him gradually progress over the last couple of years.
I need a leg day exercise that isn't squats. I'm letting my knee rest so no squatting for me. I just can't think of anything else that hits the low body the way the squat does.

Just adds more adrenaline.
I misunderstood your post.
Yeah, generally assume anyone that gets paid to perform sports or have a certain physique is prone to be on some type of PE
