14 day cut, Pt. 1

iMan323 · 01-19-2004, 11:06 AM

Current stats: weight 186-187lb, 13%bf.. height 6'2...<--not a variable

I decided to break up my cutting process into small, easily attainable goals. The goal for the next 2 weeks is to drop my b/f down to 12%. If I exceed that goal that's fine also. The idea is to be comfortable. I'm gonna up my carbs to about 150-180 a day, but I will have days where they dip down to 120 grams or so. I will consume most of my carbs during breakfast meal and somewhere during midday. I gotta eat carbs, because if I don't I just feel like I'm throwing pebbles into a well, I am that hungry. Oh well..1st entry tonite.

BMR: 2,000 calories
when moderately active: 3,100
when doing nothing all day going to the gym few times a week, 2,700
Dropping my calories to about 2,500 a day should do the trick with my current energy expanditure.

Best of luck with your goals!

good to see you started a journal as well!

iMan323 · 01-19-2004, 09:23 PM

Is it okay to start with a cheat day ? heheheh e I'm too drunk

iMan323 · 01-20-2004, 05:10 PM

I don't know what the explanation is, but after eating some curly fries and blue cheese dressing as well as chuggin down about 5 drinks I look much harder today then I did yesterday

...but I'm going low cal and low carb today ..I also had a killer leg workout...

iMan323 · 01-20-2004, 05:11 PM

I meant, I ate a lot yesterday

iMan323 · 01-20-2004, 05:16 PM

Just a quick question, what supplements do you recommend I take during this little cut? I'm gonna get me some glutamine tomorrow.

iMan323 · 02-03-2004, 11:08 PM

atkins advantage something something crunchy mocha, i don't have any laying around. Why, is it not as low carb as you thought it would be?

sara · 02-03-2004, 11:12 PM

you gotta subtract the fiber and the sugar alc.

I'm just gonna post the totals for today...

2600 calories, 170 grams of carbs, 140 grams of proteins..

supps, multivatimine, glutamine..

I'd like to note that I'm making an excellent progress. I'm looking much harder then two weeks ago, the tire around my waist is shrinking , abs are starting to show. What's most peculiar is that my protein intake is moderate at best and my carbs aren't that low...go figure

iMan323 · 02-11-2004, 06:54 PM

Assuming that 3000 calories is my maintanance, I had a total caloric deficit of about 6,300 calories. That's roughly 2 pounds of (hopefully mostly) fat. Shit's looking good

iMan323 · 02-16-2004, 07:59 AM

I've been pretty tied up last few days, but I'm gonna resume now. I ate good.
