So I started my cut almost 4 weeks ago and I'm down from 206lbs to 191-190lbs. I feel like **** all the time. This is one of the reasons why my binging cycle started, and I won't start that again but damn I feel foggy and crappy all day. I'm getting in roughly 190g of total protein and about 1800 or so cals. My maintenance is supposedly 2700cals, I do no cardio just strictly weight-lifting(Compounds+Isolations). Why do I feel crappy all the time? I'm moody and easily agitated, my skin dries out and I constantly have dry-mouth(even worse when I'm talking). I'm too scared to really up my calories as I want to drop this weight as fast as possible, I'm going to Turkey in the summer and want to look good. My family hasn't seen me since 7 years ago, and last they did I was a chubby kid obsessed with mayonnaise(still am). I can never concentrate on conversations either, it's like I'm becoming stupid. Have I been dieting for too long? Wouldn't my binge cycle kind of disprove that? What can I do to tackle this, what might be some reasons why I'm feeling crappy constantly? I don't know what it's like to cruise at maintenance so maybe when I'm done cutting and start to maint/bulk I'll feel better(anytime I was in a surplus was when I binged lol and I feel horrible afterwards) I know for the time I've been here I should have my own answers, but damn this is boggling me. I yelled at my younger brother 'cause he pointed out my eggwhites burning yesterday lol. Edit: I should also note that it's not like I eat foods I don't enjoy. First meal(breaking fast) 2-4PM - 250ml eggwhites - 1 90cal tortilla - 1/2 cup cottage cheese mixed with a scoop of whey Post workout 11PM most cases - 1 scoop whey Dinner 11:30PM-12:15AM Tortilla with chicken + cheese + veggies all mixed in and I cook each side, then I make a smaller version of this lol. Not concerned for the calorie count here, just showing that it's not like I'm going Bro on my diet that I should feel this ****ty. Sorry for the extra question here... What would you guys put my bodyfat at? Sorry for the crappy quality.
Need Personal Opinions On Variety Of Things.. How many grams of carbs/fat? When I cut either of those macros too far, my energy levels are crap and I get crazy cravings.
Need Personal Opinions On Variety Of Things.. Currently all I do is think about my cheat DAY I'm planning in 3 weeks or so. I'm not sure about fats, I know for a fact it's ridiculously low though.. Carbs is roughly 110-120g. I was suspecting that one of the two are low, but the thing is for my age and amount of activity I put in the gym, it would be stupid for me to have lowcarb/lowfat, but for my diet it calls for this..
Need Personal Opinions On Variety Of Things.. Cut your protein back to 160-170 grams a day and bump the fat.
Need Personal Opinions On Variety Of Things.. What can I add in for fat? If I cut out 1 scoop of whey that would be 150cals.
Need Personal Opinions On Variety Of Things.. Up the fat. It shouldn't be "ridiculously low." Try to get at least .45g/lb bodyweight or lean body mass (I forget which one, it's in the sticky in the nutrition section though).
Need Personal Opinions On Variety Of Things.. That's one of the most miserable looking diets I've ever seen on here.
Need Personal Opinions On Variety Of Things.. My problem is trying to find where I'd fit this new addition of stuff. I hate switching around my diet. Why you hatin' >_>... I love eatin' dem tortillas. What would you do differently lol
