PNWMUSCLE 2021 Spring Log

[Ambitionzcs]

I feel you on not wanting to bring attention to myself haha. Anyway your dosages look good but what I’m worried about is the calories your eating. Your at 1800 or so at 4 weeks in, where will you go once you plateau? 1500? Just seems super low to me. For example I’m getting my calories up to 5k a day before I start cutting. This way I can drop to 4700 and lose weight and once I plateau I have room to keep dropping the calories without getting so low I’m craving every food known to man.
Just something to think about.

 

[PNWmuscle]

Yeah I’m playing that as it goes. I know with the cardio plus calories it seems really low, but it’s whats worked for me. Plus I get pretty lax on weekends so my average might actually be in the 2000-2200. Being strict we will see how it goes.

 

[PNWmuscle]

And for clarity I didn’t mention, I’ve been cutting for a while and have been tapering my calories down. Started losing weight in August. Dropped from close to 260 to where I am now. Originally had my cals up near 3000, and have dropped them little by little as this has come along

 

[Poppy]

Yet another UGM success story!

 

[PNWmuscle]

UGM has changed the game for me. I can’t even remember how I found this place but thankful none the less

 

[PNWmuscle]

Wanted to share my meals for the 1850 cals a day I’m doing. I eat 6 meals and keep them all low cal and as much volume as possible. Crazy how’s much food it is for so little calories.

All meals pretty much stay the same except for #5 as that’s dinner with the fiancé and depending on what she’s cooking is what we have.

This is amazing diet is everything and you will definitely reach your goals with a solid broke down macro plan.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Are you counting protein carbs and fats? Im just curious its a great diet plan especially for a nice deficit.

 

[PNWmuscle]

Yes sir, all tracked. If one day I eat a little more carbs and less fat, or vice versa, I’m good with that

 

[Bigmurph6]

I understand I was just curious if you were sticking to something

I believe that it will work out great possibly going to hate not eating more lol I know I hate cutting.
I believe that can keep you full especially because you spread it out really well brother

 

[PNWmuscle]

Yeah the meal frequency helps cravings. Plus makes it easier to get protein in without digestion issues. Too much protein in one sitting wrecks my stomach

 

[Bigmurph6]

I have that issue with carbs but during a cut the way you have things spread out and small but big enough to keep you full throughout the day.
That’s going to make it much easier and get you to your goals. Most others should follow a plan like this because this is what works.

 

[PNWmuscle]

I appreciate it, thanks

 

[Kad1]

Question on the amount of d3 you take. Have you tested levels recently?

 

[PNWmuscle]

I have not. That was a recommendation from my doctor. We don’t get much sunshine here year round

 

[PNWmuscle]

He at one point had me on 50,000 iu prescribed and dropped it down a few months ago

 

[Kad1]

It may be what’s needed but I’d ask for a recheck. Do you know what your levels were before treatment? Only ask because too much d3 can be problematic also

 

[PNWmuscle]

I’ll have to see. When I started my TRT he had me do the 50,000 ius 2x per week for a bit. Then 10,000 per day now. I’ll update you guys next time I get bloods done with them

 

[Kad1]

My guess it was extremely Lo. 50,000 is a medical dose

 

[Ambitionzcs]

Great job bro, that’s a good amount of weight to drop. How’s the tren treating you?
