Fuck 500 calories for dinner. That sucks.

If that was me on about 2500 calories I would use up 1000 calories during the day and save 1500 calories for dinner. Makes it much easier to stick to the diet if you like a get hungry late in the day.

Can't hurt. If you don't like it at least you tried it. If you do like it it can make cutting at lot easier.

I know pushing a lot of calories to dinner has helped me. I still usually go 3 meals a day, usually just some fruit and sometimes a protein shake for breakfast. Then just what ever meals I have planned for lunch and dinner.
 
Bradsky I have a very small meal in the morning which ties me through to about lunchtime. Usually Tuna on rice thins.
I can't fast for too long unfortunately but this helps to push my calories back in the day around training time.
My diet calorie intake is 1400-1500.
 
when Im cutting to fight, a month out im usually at about 76kg, I start at 2200cal a day and drop it 200cal a week by the last week im at 1600cal a day, and I usually drop on average about 1kg a week, just drink heaps of water it helps alot
 
Day 12

Weight = 78kg's

Estimated calories = 3400

carbs = 250g fat = 80g protein 150g

Felt unusually crook, late into the night my mates found a chin up bar and everyone had a go to see how many behind the head reps they could get.
I was rooted after that. That, and I don't usually drink rum.

Kaz, I'm sort of the same. If I go too long I start feeling light headed and just generally shithouse. I normally keep some muesli bars in the lunch bag to tide me over

I have been averaging about 3-4L of water a day. I was 78kg again this morning, which is a bit lighter than I wanted to be at this stage..... Which is a good thing I guess.

But I do feel a little flat.
 

go have a nice big cheat meal then,your lighter than expected, will help motivation

it's easier than I thought, don't get that hungry, just feel kinda weird.

it's like I am not functioning 100% or something....

gonna add a few more cals during the day, I just weighed in at 77kg which is a bit crazy. Definitely feel skinnier, but not in a good way :/
 
I had a similar experience your body does seem to get used to it but I just went back to the standard 3 meals with much smaller breakfast and lunch with big dinner.

Still get the satisfaction of big last meal but don't eat that weird feeling through the day.

I think the best part about it is you realise you have a lot more freedom to shift calories around to fit into your lifestyle and how you want to eat rather than the strict bodybuilding type diet.
 

feeling the same with keto - like my heads a bit fuzzy
I'm down 6.5 kg since christmas
 

that's the new plan.
