Take it from a dude who was heavier as a kid, got super skinny in my late teens, and have since maintained a decent weight.
I HATE cutting. I don't even mind cardio, I enjoy it. It's the diet that blows.
Bulking (like now) is cakkkkkeeee

Lol
U know Cutting is faster.  . U just donÂt like the dieting. Hardcore dieting most people can take their body fat from over 35% to something around 20% in 6 months... yes dieting sucks for most people... but itÂs easier than working to gain 5 lbs of lean mass except year 1 gains.
I think people have a hard time with dieting because they always stay in a large deficit and watch the scale religiously with no cheat days. Once you figure out your carbs protein, leptin, insulin and glycogen and eating windows... cutting is relatively easy . I mean I have 2 cheat days a week each time I bring my carbs to 400-550 grams... of course I drop it to sub 100 grams on other days. so IÂm actually eating cake lol. Protein I do .8 grams per lean body mass. But for this convo itÂs all about the cake... |
Hah agree, I do the same thing thing, but only 1 cheat day a week. Bit more aggressive cut, aiming for 2.5-3 lbs a week.
Cheat day (even though it isn't exactly "cheating" since there are benefits to this) involves Five Guys, Chipotle, Doughnuts, and FroYo 
I read a study on NCBI that found an average lifter who trains 5-7 times a week can only put on body fat in a single day of overeating when he goes above about 10,500 - 13,000 calories for the day. Then everything above is roughly 1 lb of fat per 3,500 cals. So anything roughly below 10,000 cals will not put on any significant body fat; if anything, below 1 lb of fat, which is a negligible amount. I believe our glycogen stores can hold about 1,100g of carbs, depending on factors like LBM of course.
Rest of week is below 100g carbs...found its pretty easy to stick to as I don't even have time to eat anyways.
Cutting will for me be eternally easier than bulking. |
I eat like 100g of carbs per meal a day. Every day.
Then on cheat days, it's 200gs. So I'm technically on a deficit most days
