pretty much the same It's all good in theory and works very well for bodybuilders IF you can keep the discipline. Most will want to eat anything and everything after cutting for a while!
This is the problem I've had every time I've stopped dieting, I've done it too suddenly, and put on 5kg in like 2 weeks. Stopping dieting gradually has gotta be one of the hardest things.
I found this photo on the net, I reckon I'm around 23-25%, I badly need to diet. After Smolov! 2 more weeks...
I have been eating basically as much as I can. I've put on some noticeable size which was the goal just got a nice belly to go with it now though lol.
Currently 72kg and 176cm. I dropped down to 60kg before I started due to some health issues. I'm still going to be skinny in 8 weeks but I want to at least be as toned as I can. Will have to do a serious bulk/ cut phase next year. End goal is to be around 80-85kg with minimal fat. Couple years off that though of course.
fair enough mate. By what you said in your first post I was think you would be well overweight but sounds like you just gained back some that you lost while sick.
2500ish would be a good start IMO.
JJ80: those photos are a good indicator but remember that the amount of muscle mass obviously makes a big difference ie. also 6%ish
If you put on 12kg in 6 weeks I'd hazard a guess that you have been eating WELL above maintenance. If you have 8 weeks to lose some fat, I'd start by dropping that to 2500-3000.
The way I use CBL is almost IF...
But CBL is basically around using insulin spikes to your advantage and controlling the timing of your carbs.
I haven't counted a macro/calorie for 6 weeks+
I don't eat till lunch time. And it's usually just meat & fats with salad. A couple wpi shakes through the day.
Dinner, I eat (mostly carbs) till I'm almost bursting...lol
I find that IF by default leaves me lean every morning....
I would suggest that carb cycling potentiallly leaves you holding less water and potentially gives asthetic advantages...
This would have no direct impact to fat loss but certainly one would expect that the visual improvement would motivate the dieter to be more disciplined and train harder...

Yea mate not really overweight just got some more fat from eating more. I use the Myfitnesspal app and I just looked I was averaging around 3400 cals a day. Not enough in my opinion lol.
I've cut it down to around 2800 today and I'm struggling lol. So hungry. Looking through the recipe section isn't helping at the moment lol.

I have been eating plenty of meat but also a lot of maccas. Addicted to double cheeseburgers!
Going to start making a lot more chicken and beef stir frys and the low carb high protein beef burgers I just saw in the recipe section. What's a good breakfast though? I can't have too much milk or I'm on the toilet half the day.

Not sure if I could do that I need to eat in the morning. What kind of ratios are common? I have generally been having double the carbs than I have protein. Should I try and get them even?
Also I have been having a wpi/ maltodextrin/ dextrose shake post workout and wpi/ malto shakes as snacks. I tried this to cut out the lactose which has helped a lot. Not sure what I should do with the shakes now??
Sorry about all the q's never done this stuff before and just trying to simplify it all.

What should I do about my post workout shakes? They are basically a DIY weight gainer without all the crap added so I'm not sure to still take that or just protein then a carb/ protein meal?
