@awoods88 Sure, switch a few of your meals to protein shakes for a while until you feel better but one day of bad eating isn’t going make you gain 5lbs of fat.

I need to get better at warming up before I work out but don’t want to take a lot of time. What’s your best warmup routine and how long does it take? Specifically for full body.

@sonicfusion What do most fit vegans eat for protein and what target do you try to reach? Also, how careful are you with carbs and fats? Could I get an example of what macros might look like for you? Asking for a friend

@achievements Yeah I don’t mind a little muscle loss but I don’t want to lose loads of it lol

@celtusguy What kind of cardio did you prefer doing?

@lionelofj You didn’t notice a lot of muscle loss in 7 days? That’s interesting!

@confusedgirl98 Just getting ready for summer, I get 2 weeks off and want to be my best version! I’ve been cutting calories for 6 weeks now and I appear to have held onto all my muscle, if not gaining some, so I feel like I could manage a more aggressive cut for a few weeks

@confusedgirl98 Yeah I started 1500 cals this week and combined with IF, it’s been manageable. I’m not too hungry till after my workout and then stuffed after a couple big meals in the evening. I feel like going down to 1200 wouldn’t be too insane with how full I am but I’ll see how this week...

@mwinga Yeah, I think I’ll try adding a fasting day instead of cutting my calories down everyday but thanks!

@joaa Thanks. I’ve been cutting my calories back for 6 weeks and still working out well and the scale hasn’t changed although my body comp has. Now that I’m 4-5 weeks out from my summer vacation, I’d like to get rid of this lower belly fat without sacrificing too much muscle

@criko Thanks for that. I’m already getting about 15i steps a day but I’ll add cardio to my rest day and see if that makes a difference

@pif15 That’s pretty interesting, I was considering fasting twice a week on rest days but I’ve also seen that rest days are when you should eat more. I’m not bodybuilder but I am trying to get to 11-12% by July but not trying to go backwards with my training

@pif15 Yeah I’m at 1600 cals now but I see more and more YouTube natural bodybuilders claiming they go down to 1200 and I know they’re leaner than me and pushing harder in the gym so I was wondering if it’s something I could consider for the next 4 weeks or if there was more to it.

@hollan Thanks, I was thinking of doing a calorie cycle too or fasting once a week instead of eating so few calories. I’ll play around with it!

@hollan I e gone from 2000 to 1600 in the last 6 weeks with minimal muscle loss, if any. In fact I look bigger and stronger, but my lower belly fat is stubborn and not budging. The scale is staying the same although my composition has improved, so I’m wondering if I can afford to go. Little...

5’10” 32yrs 16%bf I’ve seen a lot of natural bodybuilders on YouTube claiming to eat as low as 800-1200 calories for 4-8 weeks near the end of a cut, keeping protein high and exercising. These body builders have anywhere between 5’8”-6’0”+ and 160-200lbs. Is this common practice among...
