@iamacountnotasaint "I've been through similar, and I know you will staunchly get replies of "CICO" and "you're obviously doing it wrong", it's very frustrating!" - oh yes, I know.... which is why I am trying in this sub. "100 calories of nuts and 100 calories of chocolate are not the same." -...

@montexss No to all of it. It's as bare bones as you can imagine.

@niqhtcore 600 grams of raw chicken breast is not 1434 calories, or 1146 if you are adding the eggs there.

@julien How could my hormones be out of whack? What would be other symptoms? Is blood draw the way to test for it?

@julien Yes, and they're negligible, it's maybe 20 calories tops per coffee. And sorry about the color detail, but that's how I gauge if I am well hydrated or not. I drink A LOT during workout and post workout. I have a 32oz bottle of water and I'll drink one during lifting, and then down...

@julien I do 2 coffees per day with 1 big spoon of 2% milk and 1 flat, little spoon of sugar and then lots of water throughout the day. I always pee clear, never dehydrated.

@curtswill I use different spices for chicken. For rice, I add cilantro and lime juice.

@kstormy It's not a lot, but it's annoying. The area around the love humps is a little wider than by butt. And, when I relax my stomach, depending on the day, I can look like a pregnant high school girl. When I flex, it's basically flat.

@bhickey777 Yes for technique, no for 3 sets. Only 10-12 on the first set, then less every set. I also do pull ups after deadlifts and/or lat pulldowns.

@antponetteoaks "Also 75kg seems really light to me. Why didn't you add any weight during the year of weight lifting?" Not dieting. I've been skinny-fat all my life with weird metabolism. I used to be able to eat scrambled eggs/omelette in the morning and have to eat anything else the rest of...

@kirbyjohn Thanks.

@kirbyjohn And this is why I came here for help. I have nothing left to cut. I don't want to go lower on fat, carbs are already low, and with protein... well, I don't think it's a good idea to start reducing that. 2g/kg of bodyweight seems like a golden rule no one breaks I don't want to do that...

@kirbyjohn Essentially, yes, because the fat tire/love humps/whatever we want to call them, won't go away until the body fat % gets into single digits. I wanted to drop fat first before building muscle, just like all those years ago.

@kirbyjohn I weigh my food raw, not cooked, hence why I know my calorie count is spot on. I had a workout/diet plan back in 2015 written by a body builder friend of mine. The diet was very much like I described above: chicken, rice, olive oil, green veggies. Yes, it's bland AF, but it worked...

@ttowngirl Thanks!

@woody77 Where is the link to the wiki? I am looking all over this page and there are no links on the side.

@hotboi2 The weight I gave for chicken is raw as well. I only use breasts. 600g of raw chicken breast is 120g protein = 480kcal. I cut all fat away if there is any.

I made a post in a different sub and people weren't very helpful I'll try again here. Male, almost 34 y/o, 167.5 lbs, 5'10" height, trying to lose my fat tire/love humps. I've been working out since Nov 2022, but not dieting for a full year. I was 170lbs when I started lifting, and was still at...
