      Hey guys, I've been cutting for sometime now, I lost around 33 lbs but now I simply can't lose anything anymore. I'd like to lose another 10lb before start bulking again, but it's impossible. I'm stuck for weeks, and my deficit is 1400 calories. Yep, I know it's not healthy at all, but I'm only eating 500 calories a day and I can't lose anything. Wtf is wrong with me, am I an alien?

      Thanks in advance

      I counted that from my BMR, which is 1900

      probably did it wrong

      Still, I only eat 500 calories a day, absolutely certain about that. Maybe, somedays, I eat around 800 but that's it.

      Not lifting, stopped a while ago and wanted to cut before going back. I don't see the point of starting to lift again while eating almost nothing.

      you forgot the multiplier. BMR is for a person at complete rest. You need to multiply it by 1.5 or so

      How do you meet your macros on a 500 calorie diet? You don't. That's why. Take a visit to the nutrition section and educate. Id link but I'm on my phone right now.

      such a low calorie intake will mess with your metabolism son. You need to eat more.

      Why would yo do this when you know it's not "healthy"
