Approved Log Cutting Cycle Log - from 254 to 230lbs

I’m continuing to meal prep the same way, I’m just eating less. Also, I’m really watching my calories and being much more strict about cheat meals. It’s been about 2 weeks and I’m down to 240. Bench was 380 yesterday, lost a good amount of strength there, but I still got 5 plates on squat on Thursday. I feel a little bit weaker, but the pumps are better. It will be nice to get my veins back!

are you cutting carbs with rice or how? let us know

are you cutting carbs with rice or how? let us know

When I was bulking I had a sandwich with wheat bread mid morning, as well as more rice and more cheat meals. The last two weeks I’ve made smaller portions, cut out the bread, and my cheat meal is sushi once a week. I’ve noticed if I lack carbs I’m very lethargic, I’m easily burning what I’m taking in right now. In addition, I don’t want to lose too much muscle mass so I’m content with losing around 2lbs a week. I’m mostly worried about being in too much of a deficit and losing a significant amount of strength. Once my primo (shoutout to @napsgear) gets here and my anavar gets here I think I’ll hold on to a lot of what I’ve gained from this bulk.

Losing muscle is what you think is happening but its not bro
you losing muscle glycogen making it harder to train and losing water
each carb = +2grams water remember @n8cantrell

i would add more fats to replace the lost carbs and really shave the carbs off

What would you change in my meal plan? Oatmeal still okay for breakfast? It’s 41g of carbs and my total rice intake is 79g carbs but that’s all I’m having. Can you give me some examples of meals that I can prep on the weekend?

Actually rice is no issues if you keep it low, oatmeal is great about 1 hour from training low GI carb and rice closer to training, you should space all carbs around training time for max output

Your meat intake is right you just need to modify what and when more so then the ratios

Didn’t deviate from my diet at all today, that’s almost 2 weeks. I had sushi once and a power bowl from zupas once last week to refeed. Oatmeal is eaten in the morning before work (still do concrete for 10 hours a day) along with 6 raw eggs. 3 hours into my shift I eat my larger portion of chicken and rice with broccoli. 1hr before my training I eat the smaller portion of chicken and rice with broccoli. After training I eat 6 more raw eggs. And hour after that I eat 10oz of salmon. Lastly, I have 2cups of spinach blended with 1cup of mangos and 1cup of nonfat Greek yogurt and 2 scoops whey protein. No carbs at night, strictly protein.

I just upped my water intake and took 3 days off. I felt better yesterday than I did today. Gonna try and get more sleep tonight, but the worst part of it is over. Definitely rather get it cutting than bulking!

Actual covid or flu like symptoms?

 

[n8cantrell]

Actual covid or flu like symptoms?

Definitely Covid. At least it’s easy to stick to my meal plan cuz I can’t taste anything

 

[JasonPriest]

Nice to see you being honest about your cheat meals and such

Sushi, though can be a healthy option and just depends the way they prep it.
