I agree with @squatter

I believe monitoring carb intake is better than none at all.

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah ima stick to my sweet potatoes and oats

 

[Poppy]

Can’t go wrong with that

 

[squatter]

Oats are great i love them woth salted caramel protein powder and pb2

 

[NeuroRN]

You’re looking good man!

 

[Xpliot]

Thank you man! I’m trying super hard and trying to figure out this nutrition part one day at a time hahah think I just second guess my self :man_shrugging:t3:

 

[NeuroRN]

Anytime I drop carbs sharply I feel horrible. I’m usually a high carb guy. I have to slowly drop them or else I feel like absolute shite.

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah I couldn’t go any longer without em. I def feel a lot better since I had some carbs today. I’m prob going back to my 40/40/20 macros and 1700 calories a day for this cut

 

[NeuroRN]

Totally normal. There’s programs out there to help you dial in your diet. RP. Macrostax. Etc. I used RP when I was first learning nutrition. They have changed their algorithm I think, I quit using it. Just track where you’re out and dial in as you notice changes. Keep a food log with reflections of how you feel.

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah I use myfitness pal but I find it hard af to stay under 20% fat I end up over somehow at like 30 percent

 

[NeuroRN]

Stop eating so much fat. Problem solved. Jk jk

Fats usually the hardest.

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah lol cause I eat a lot of meat and it comes from that mostly

 

[NeuroRN]

Swap some meet for egg whites.

 

[Xpliot]

Okay I’ll def give that a shot

 

[Poppy]

Yep lean meat will help… i love pork ribs… high in protein BUT extremely high in fat

 

[Xpliot]

Yeah even if I just eat chicken it puts me over

 

[NeuroRN]

A small carton is 50g of protein with no fat or carbs. I just chug em.

 

[Poppy]

I do the same… egg whites are great zero fat protein

 

[Xpliot]

Damn I’m def gonna have to stock up on that! I feel like I’m so close to having abs hahah and I’m trying to cut 6 more pounds before the 11th of July for this wedding I’m at 194lbs

 

[NeuroRN]

Ahhh the scale is never your friend when cutting. Too much variation. Be sure to track overall trend and not your day to day weight.
