Aye, fuck this lad in the gym im going back on the weights as well as the cardio, I'll probably fuck off looking at the scales too often as well and just look at my body shape and how my old cloths are fitting again.
Good lad
I've been eating around 700 calories per day for the last 6 weeks, I've not lost any weight in the last 10 days I'm eating either 4 scrambled eggs with tomato and a slice of Brown tost. Grilled chicken and a bit of flat bread, or smoked mackerel salad, that is my 3 meals I am eating one of these meal a day with the odd tin of tuna thrown in also I have 3 scoop of gold standard whay with my one meal a day. Im drinking about 4 to 5 litres of water per day. I've just got some multi vitamin and herbal sleeping tablets as I've felt like shite for the last week it's been very difficult to do anything. I've still been going to the gym though. I started back on the weights again this morning after 2 weeks of only cardio.
and therein lies the problem. 700 cals is not healthy. Especially accompanied with exercise.
I was full of energy for 5 weeks then boom started feeling like crap, TBH I've never ate over 2000 calories from being a kid I've never ate much, I still get my mam texting or calling me everyday to make sure I've had food I'm 34
I just got fat from high beer consumption.
yer cause your body realised you were starving so responded by killing your metabolism and stopping hormone production, hence feeling like shit. Wouldn't be surprised if you did have low test after a 700 calorie daily diet. I have that for one meal and I'm trying to shift the flab. Slow and steady weight loss wins the race. Work out your TDEE and subtract 500 cals from it.I was full of energy for 5 weeks then boom started feeling like crap, TBH I've never ate over 2000 calories from being a kid I've never ate much, I still get my mam texting or calling me everyday to make sure I've had food I'm 34
I will try step it up to 1500 calories mate, I will have to try force some breakfast down like. Do you think that will bring the testosterone levels back up and 're fire my energy levels.
I can't guarantee your test levels specifically but it'll go some way in making you not feel like shit. 700 cals is crazy. Whats your age, weight etc?
Age 34 and 96kg 5ft 10in. I might go and have a curry to boost up my days calories
use this. enter you details (if you don't know your BF% just google male body fat examples and take a guess) then scroll down about half way and click the cutting tab to show your cutting cals and a simple suggested macro splitAge 34 and 96kg 5ft 10in.

Great posts from you and orosso but think your last statement is a bit harsh, i personally have not suggested to fanny how to train or how to diet. All me and a couple of others have done is have a bit banter and encourage him to carry on exercising, nothing more, nothing less. I guess that’s why this part of the forum is vastly underused and people don’t tip their toe into the water so to speak.
I would subtract 10% for starters, then adjust to 15% if the flab isn’t shifting.
Fair point, but a 96kg male going to the gym several times a week will need loads more than 1800
I'm going everyday, but like I say since I've been a kid I've never consumed many calories per day, I just got fat from the recent drinking. I am currently on around 700 calories per day so I can step that up to 1000 no problem, but if I was needing 2000 calories I don't think I could eat that amount of clean food I would have to eat shite to fill the calories.
I’d imagine you need more than 2000, going to the gym everyday. I can’t understand how you’d struggle with 2000cals. Whole milk, nuts are easy fixes to get your cals up. Are you properly counting cals or just guessing? 700 is crazy low
