They adjust it 1x a week depending during a “cycle”. Some folks at my gym use this. It’s about $200 so it’s def not cheap.
Right now this is supposed to be a fat loss cycle. Then they move you to performance recoup. But that is more food then I can actually eat so I usually ask for another fat loss cycle.
I wouldn’t be against tossing it.
Yea. They have you up and down. Like today is a low day. And I’m gonna be hungry AF. Haha. Especially when I work out hard on the low day I’m like donezo.

I will be honest im not a nutritionist but I don’t even see diets like that being run its almost torture because like you said you’re starving on your low days and that’s not good at all while dieting you never really want to be starving deprived yes lol starving no though its bad because you might take in less on a low day but then your body is going to store everything you eat the next because it isn’t getting a steady amount of nutrition.
A diet plan based on a certain calorie mark and macros then adjusted down over time because it does take time. I do believe though that this would work much better for you and your body.
What we normally do and what im doing now is a deficit of my maintenance calories. There’s a ton of calculation apps plus you can get a free app that will literally track everything for you by scanning the label. Many different options I wish I had created an app that has members giving that much compensation.
Honestly for that amount the app should lose the weight for you lol
I believe that maintenance calories ed and then continuing over time to decrease and continue hitting the gym. Will give you what you are looking to achieve.

Figure out your maintenance calories. There are basal metabolic rate calculator on internet. This is how many calories you need just to maintain without any exercise. So the exercises will automatically put you in a deficit. Best macro set up for me is 40-60% protein 20-30% carb and 20-30% fats.
But everyone is a little different so you have to play with it and make minor adjustments until you find your sweet spot.
Different foods affect us individually in different ways. For example I am extremely sensitive to carbs. Through trial and error I have found the best carbs for me is white rice and sweet potatoes and fruits. If I eat anything with wheat like bread or noodles it has a very negative affect on my energy and mood and bloats the hell out of me.
So all that streamlined stuff is just that streamlined. It may get you in a general area but you have to figure out how to fine tune it for your body and how it reacts.
Glad your getting lots of help here.
Keep up the good work sister!!!

Good afternoon @icancunha I hope you’re well today. The following is a suggestion and what works for me. Very similar to the rest of the guys/gals here. Complete disclosure…I’m a type 2 diabetic that was on the way to type 1 but with the help of these fine folks have pulled my head out of my rear. Carbs are not my friend.
As stated above. Find your maintenance calories and use that as a starting pount.
Maybe set that app aside for a few months. MyFitnessPal has a free app that tracks all of your macros. It has a great search engine. It’s free. There’s a pay version that I personally don’t see the need for.
@Causkatz gave an excellent example of her diet which is about like mine. I don’t track fats so much. I stay away pretty much. Protein and carbs for me. I’m a big fan of pulsing carbs around your weight training. Your current app has you all over the place. Maybe have your highest carb days on your heaviest weight training days… mine is Wednesday (squat/lower). Then your lower carb days on your non strength training days. Up your protein…all days. You will be in control of your caloric intake and adjust as needed.
Try fasted cardio a couple of times a week and maybe hiit a couple. Mix it up to shake your metabolism up and keep it interesting for your sanity. I detest fasted cardio and caloric deficit but it’s something we gotta do for our goals. I personally get up and do 10 mins or so on treadmill 30 seconds at 3.3 mph 60 seconds at 2.8 mph… wash rinse repeat. Try some metabolic circuits on your non strength training days.
Come back with any questions. You will NOT be berated or bullied here.
That’s all i got for now.

I just looked at my app. My “maintenance” calories per the formula is 2250 a day. Looking thru the last several months…about 70% of the time I hit right at 2k. The rest is right at the calculation.
If you look over at my log. My carbs are 100(ish) a little high on training days a little lower on off days if i get it right.

Everyone. THANK YOU! Like seriously this thread is amazing.
I’ve got labs in the works. Also learned something, females should do their labs days 17-20 in their men’s teal cycle. Mentioning that in case it’ll help someone else.
I did some research and found a clinic I guess you could calm it talked to them on the phone for a bit and they will order the labs (what you guys suggested). Men go to this clinic for low T. And some other crap. It’s new to my area but seems promising. He was on board to help me.
I’ll post when I get my results :facepunch:t3:
Another Monday is here. Time to put in that work.
