I am way below my maintenance caloric intake yet I am still struggling to shed pounds.
What the fuck can I do to speed up the process

>>76275831 (OP)
How much do you weigh and how much are you eating?

>>76275831 (OP)
test your a1c hemoglobin. if its high you will have a really difficult time losing weight. you can fix it by eating low carb.

>>76275831 (OP)
had a mate like you.

>>76275840
I weight 262.2 as of today, I started at 270 3 fucking months ago.
Is true I eat mostly pre cook shit with tons of sodium in it but I am not cranking over 2300 calories,I am 6'1, I tried to do less than 1900 calories when I started but that's was a rough fucking time I had to pack up more

>>76275852
Are you weighing and tracking everything you eat? And I do mean every single thing from protein to condiments.

>>76275852
you're fat and your blood sugar is probably high as fuck. work on getting that down and the weight will come off.

>>76275852
>200-300 calorie deficit tops
>3 months
>90 days x 300 calorie deficit / 3,500 calories/lb
7.7 lbs of weight lost.

Math checks out. Eat less

>>76275861
I am logging pretty much everything on my net dairy app, perhaps I miss a packet of sauce or 2 no more than 20 cals every now and again but for the most part I have been religious about this shit for the past 3 months, I even go to the gym and do some lifting, nothing serious just enough to get solar soar a bit.
8 fucking pounds in 3 months is fucking ridiculous and it's not like I am a complete couch potato either.
I wonder what the fuck it's wrong with me

>>76275881
I am on a 6 to 700 calorie deficit tho, I am supposed to eat between 29 and 32 hundred calories

>>76275888
>>76275888
Apparently not lol losing weight isn’t fair, but it is what it is. Whatever app told you you’re supposed to be eating like 2700-3000 calories a day fucking lied to you

>>76275899
I am eating between 2200 to 1900 calories a day tho, I can't eat less than that or I get dizzy spells

>>76275909
Are you diabetic or something?

>>76275909
>>76275909
Then take the steady progress as a win, I guess. Obvious question; but, you’re not drinking calories are you? Cream or sugar in coffee?

Also, you probably don’t wanna hear this, but the lower weight you get, the more calories you have to cut. It gets harder as you go, not easier. I have to eat like 1200 calories in order to keep losing weight at the rate I want to.

>>76275888
Have you considered that you're simply incompetent?

>>76275919
Not that I am aware of, I just been fat my entire life and I am getting old, seems my furnace is getting low and I don't burn fat as efficient anymore, I am supposed to lose 80 pounds, at this rate is going to take me the rest of life
And no, I eat granola bars and calories with no problem and the last test didn't show any high sugar warnings at all.
As a matter of fact, except from the extreme fat everything else is in top condition, the only thing the doctor told was that I had high cholesterol, like actually high for my age and she was the one who told me I needed to lose weight, that's why I am doing it

>>76275936
That's not a consideration, that's a fact

>>76275882
Clearly, your calorie counting is wrong.

>>76275942
Dude, most of the shit I am eating comes from a bag of gets on a scale.
So either the fucking manufactures are lying or there is faggotry a foot

>>76275942
I don’t even think his counting is wrong. I just don’t think his maintenance is as high as he thinks it is. Who the fuck’s maintenance is ~2700 calories except high training athletes

>>76275882
>I have been religious about this shit
then you need to change religions

>>76275958
I am 6'1 262 lb 41 y.o right now.
What's my caloric intake should be?
My smart watch is telling me I burn between 2500 calories on a lazy day

>>76275954
Nutritional "facts" listed on food products are often inaccurate, always best to weigh raw to help compensate for that margin of error. I'd say start slowly decreasing your intake and maybe the dizzy spells will subside as you adjust. Continue until you're in the 15-1700 range

>>76275958
On active days I try to stick to no more than 2300 calories, on days like today that I am pretty much not doing anything I tried to stay at around 1900 cals 2k tops

>>76275882
>about this shit for the past 3 months, I even go to the gym and do some lifting, nothing serious just enough to get solar soar a bit.

You are still in muscle building phase you are losing fat but gaining a bit of muscle so it's mitigating your losses (Which is good) Trust me, It is MUCH healthier to lose weight at the rate you are going at. the rate will begin to increase as your body changes.

8 Pounds in 3 months is 32 pounds in one year. Which is a good amount. You're 6ft1 at this rate you'll be 230 by the end of the year. that's good.

>>76275852
I lost 11kg from march til today, dropped from 89kg to 78, 0 counting calories, 0 meal prep, just limited eating to 1 meal a day and supplemented protein with deenz/tuna/milk&whey
It's that piss easy, just less

>>76275982
I like this idea, thanks anon.
I guess I won't get completely depressed and binge on Taco Bell as I was planning

>>76275909
Pussy, retard, weakling

Eh maybe it is. I’m 100 lbs lighter than you and mine is like 1800

>>76275991
Is this real

>>76275984
I wish I could do this but I actually have a job, I can't do it feeling like shit all day

Bro your BMR is around 2000 and your TDEE is between 2200 and 2600 depending on how much your fat ass actually walks.
You're at least 40% bf so you should be able to alternate full day fast easily.
Stop drinking anything but water with some electrolytes (salt + potassium + Mg) and see if your DiZzY spells don't go away.
You're a genetic dead-end if you cannot lock in and fix yourself here and now.

>>76276000
Work is what made this far easier than normal. You literally get used to it in less than a week and then it becomes the norm.
You're just a dumb bitch who is scared of a little discomfort, which checks out, as you are too fat and too stupid to lose weight.

>>76276016

>>76275968
It's a feedback system. Keep the way your are tracking calories consistent. If you are not loosing weight, drop a few hundred calories a day. Even if it doesn't add up to what you're "supposed" be ingesting.

>>76276000
>nooooo, if i don't stuff my face min quarce a day i will like feel like shitterino
only because you conditioned yourself to secrete ghrelin at certain points in the day
the vast majority of human history people would do involuntary fasting due to lack of food, live completely normally, if not better and mog you still

>>76275882
Weight loss can stall but I would challenge you to examine your eating habits and calorie logging more closely. Are you measuring your cooking oils? Are you eating a lot of condiments? Are you snacking?

I'm not a ketofag but 267g of carbs is a lot. I roon I'm usually 130g and peak at roughly 180g before long runs.

Just eat 2000cal a day on the nose and walk 30 min a day.

>i'm hungry
No you're not. You're used to comfort snacking and food soothing you like a baby and a pacifier. Kick all your bad habits - negative self talk, over eating, binge eating, snacking, laziness, lack of precision, and above all, eating for pleasure.

>>76276022
What the fuck no wonder I can't lose weight, why the fuck it's the app telling me I should be eating 3200 tdee calories?
No wonder it look suspicious, that's like 3 full English I could eat every day without a sweat or at least I thought

Once a year, if you're really good, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift will appear in your room--tongue out and mouth open. Also your PR will increase by 5% for all sets.

Get that shit to at least 1800

At 270lbs you should be able to lose at 2,500 calories if you're moderately active.

eat one fucking meal a day at 6pm and spend the remaining 23.5 hours drinking plain water. i lost 30 pounds in like 4 months that way and i wasn't even fat, i just wanted to go from 180 to 150. quit being a baby, being "dizzy" is good

>>76275852
I began losing weight at 350 pounds on a 1800 calorie diet. Lost more than 100 pounds in a year just because of that. Trust me i've been there, you're simply not driven enough. Can't force that shit either, it has to click or it doesn't.

Kek, sorry to hear

Holy shit this thread is full of retards giving horrible advice.
This guy is right
>>76276405
You probably should be eating a bit more, actually. Not eating enough makes it harder to lose weight because you're metabolism slows down to compensate for your lack of calories, basically your body tries to preserve itself, which is commonly referred to as "starvation mode".

I'd say eat between 2,000 and 2,500 calories a day, as few as you can manage without feeling like shit/starving/dizzy spells and whatnot. But also, skimming through the thread I haven't seen you mention what you're actually eating, which does matter. Anyone who buys into CICO is an idiot, different foods have different effects on your metabolism, your blood sugar, your hormones, etc. which influences your fat loss rate. In other words, you should be eating healthy.

My recommendation would be lots of canned chicken and eggs for protein, hard cheeses for fats, and healthy bread for carbs. If you get cravings for something sweet, keep some frozen fruit on hand (whatever kind you like) and microwave that shit for 30 seconds to a minute to thaw it a bit. Dark chocolate is also a good one.

Also, walk as much as you can. Walking is great for burning fat, not just because it burns calories but because of the good effects it has on your overall health. And get some sun every day if you can too.

Fat loss takes time, so try to be patient. Just stay consistent and don't give up. Once you start seeing progress it will get easier and easier.

>>76276672
>Because CICO doesn't work.
how

>>76276066
if you really want to make a change move your ass and do some psychical exercise
TDEE is an estimation and not an absolute truth, everyone is a special unicorn and have different needs you didn't have to make a thread all you had to do is just eat 100-200 calories less per day
also skip weighing yourself and couting calories everyday as soon as you find a good plan of what to eat to lose weight or you going to burn yourself out in a long run

>>76275831 (OP)
You need to eat more to lose weight

Precooked shit with sodium. That's 50% of the problem. Try to eat more chicken and rice.

You managed to pack a lot of retard in that blogpost

>>76276915
Try only eating nutella and see what happens.
The analogy of calories to gasoline for a car is just to simplify it, different calories have their special utilities as well. Eat lots of vegetables for micronutrients and vitamins, etc. You can't just survive (without being malnourished) on solely water and whey powder.

>>76276832
>Not eating enough makes it harder to lose weight because you're metabolism slows down to compensate for your lack of calories, basically your body tries to preserve itself, which is commonly referred to as "starvation mode"
You won't go into 'starvation' mode unless you're somewhere below 1500, especially not at 270 points. Cico rules.

>>76275852
ruck marches but unironically.
You lose a lot more calories then advertised and it's a full body workout too.
I use a weighted vest and a backpack with some weight. Use what's comfy and watch out for legs chafing

Oh no, some of the retards are calling ME a retard, how will I ever recover?

>>76275831 (OP)
You need to post your workout routine too. If the only thing you are varying is your diet and keeping your workout the same, you might need to vary the workout too if you want to keep your daily caloric intake the same.

>>76277808
rucking is the worst "exercise" you can do. You have to do it for at least 1 hour and injuries is so common.
OP is better of just doing a weight lifting routine with some cardio at the end. He will burn way more in 1 hour doing that

injuries are common if you ruck like you're in the military. it's just fast walking with some extra weight

You're looking for an answer while giving almost no details at all. You're 240, height? Age? Diet? Exercise? Shall I just make up some bullshit from my crystal ball to tell you?

>>76275831 (OP)
you have a high and low end weight variance, you want to be "bloated" in that your insulin and salt isnt low so you hold on to more muscle and lose more fat when you are in fat burning mode. It is also far easier to get lean the more muscle you have, just dont cut hard for over a month so you dont actually lose muscle or even just eat maintenance or lower because your body lowers your test so it requires less calories(starvation mode).

How over weight are you? You might legitimately be insulin resistant. Cut down carbs little by little. Look for things like dark patches of skin in your elbows, knees, and neck.

Probably drinking calories, only things you should be drinking are water, coffee (not with tons of sugar), and low fat milk

Also probably underestimating your calories and not reading labels right. Not accounting for things like butter and oils.

Ideally youd want to eat around 1500 a day. Shoot for below 2000 for now(so stick to 1900) until you can do 1500 without getting dizzy. Itll take time but you can do it man, just have to let your body adjust

If u ain't going to bed hungry it ain't working, I never counted calories and went from 170lbs to 120. Lifting hard 6x a week, cardio 3x a week and a 24hr fast on Sunday with fasted cardio in the morning, low carb diet, I believe at the end I was eating a whooping 900cal a day at 5'6, everytime I weighed myself in the morning I was down weight, never plateaud, it's fatty cope, get used to the hunger she's your best fr/iend.
Diet was literally chicken, eggs (1 bread/day max), rice, sweat potato, broccolis, minced meat.

>>76275831 (OP)
>>76275852
Fat anon here. I also started at around 265, 6'1 and I've lost about 35 pounds over the past months (its been like 3 or more i havent kept track) by cutting calories.
I eat mostly pre cooked shit but I've still lost weight because I'm shooting for around 1500 calories and acknowledging that I'm likely eating more than that.

You don't need to eat 2300-2600 calories per day unless you want to maintain your weight. It's recommended to have 2000 calories per day right? But that's for adult men who are active and actually do shit.
I'm a fat bastard who spends all day driving around for work and primarily spend my free time gaming. If you're the same then you likely need less than 2000 calories per day.
At 1500 calories you can have either two 750 calorie meals per day or three 500 calorie meals per day.

As a slop connoisseur, I'll eat two frozen jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches. Each one is 400 calories, totaling 800 calories. I'll also have a sugar free monster (the white one (sugar free because it tastes better)).
I skip lunch since I'm at work and the primary option as someone who drives around is fast food. FAST FOOD IS A TRAP. You can get some decent slop like the Taco Bell cantina chicken soft tacos, those are like 210 calories and taste pretty good. Most shit is like 1100 calories for a burger. If you go to a fast food place seriously look at the menu because its fucking crazy.
For dinner I'll usually "make" something like having some frozen Costco spinach raviolis and a breaded chicken breast. It's like 700 calories, plus with a small gatorade which is another 80 calories.
All together its like 1600 calories. It's not a huge amount of food but its enough.

Don't forget the
>acknowledging that I'm likely eating more than that
part. Calories are easy to sneak in without realizing it. Anons mention oils and butter but theres the obvious shit of having a non-water drink. An 8 oz soda or beer is easily 100+ calories.

>>76280269
cunt.
It WILL be hard to lose weight through calorie counting and eating at a deficit. When I first started doing this shit I would get a bit shaky, dizzy and cold sometimes but I just powered through it. If you do it in a routine fashion of eating at around the same time every day then you WILL eventually get used to it. I wanted to give up within the first couple weeks but now its not a big deal.

Eating at a deficit you can still eat slop, but you will have to eat less of it. A bowl of chow mien and orange chicken is like 1100 calories before adding a drink. You can choose to eat less of your meal, or you might substitute it for something less sloppy like getting their super greens instead of chow mien. Swapping teriyaki chicken in instead of orange chicken drops it even more. You could have the greens and teriyaki for like 700 calories or the chow mien and orange chicken for 1100.

If you keep looking at calories, you will learn what food is high calorie and what is low calorie. Eventually you will get to the point that your eating habits will get better simply because of wanting to eat more without eating more calories. I recently made cabbage soup because it turns out you can eat a fuckload of cabbage soup and its basically no calories.

Just find out what shit you like to eat that's reasonable for a meal, eat at a deficit every day and eventually things will get better and easier.

does /fit/ actually work out or you retards just starve yourselves.
been cutting at 3200.

>>76275844
Funny thing is if he just got that and nothing else, particularly on a gym day, it wouldn't even be that bad. But the fat bastards always get extra large sides, a soda, and a dessert, and that's after a full day of eating. Ffs.

>>76275831 (OP)
I started doing 30 minutes of cardio post lifting and that has really started to cut the fat. I've dropped down a shirt size in 3 months and before that I wasnt losing or gaining weight. My family has noticed a huge change and everyone is asking if ive lost weight. I have always been a weight lifter but recently my metabolism isnt what it used to be. Cardio seems to have pushed me back the other direction.
