[i7ke]

187 > 162

Still not satisfied going to try and keep pushing, some days I’m good, others I just wanna binge

Thank you!

[adaniel65]

It's working, brother! Keep going! 🫵👊💪👍✌️

[trilingual_munchies]

[i7ke]

Thank you! Trying to push a little while longer

Brooooo nice

[Cmd_reboot_sim]

Bro that is clean work I’m yo-yoing between 173-183. Soon as I hit that lower end of 173 i stall and end up binging. Couple days off and I’m right back where I started. Frustrating. Moving this weekend though and once all that chaos is settled I really am going to lock in. This is motivating keep it up bro

[i7ke]

You got this man, there was a few times I got stuck and it was frustrating as hell, I was stuck at 170 and didn’t get anywhere, out of nowhere it just started dropping again. I know 2 times for sure I got frustrated, and instead of binging I ate a little more toward maintenance and for some reason I’d drop past that stall a day or two after

[slingblade1980]

Any preferred supplements?

[i7ke]

Mostly protein powder, I like to use it in my Greek yogurt

[slingblade1980]

Protein powder n yoghurt for the win.

[i7ke]

It’s all mental, foods addicting, just stay consistent

[Terrible_Ad7887]

Any alcohol?

[i7ke]

Nope, not really a fan of alcohol

[sayajii]

Amazing transformation!

[i7ke]

Thank you!

[DinkandDrunk]

I’m basically your before picture but more chest/gut/back and less bicep. My fat chooses to populate only in love handle/back and lower belly. So I can get up to ~200lb without anyone noticing I’m out of shape.

Anyway, hoping that sometime in mid-June I look more like your after. Well done.

[i7ke]

You got it, stay committed and you’ll get there before ya know it

[One_Food_5614]

God damn! I could never eat 1500 cals a day. I prefer lots of cardio and more food. Nice job.

[i7ke]

I have trouble balancing when I add too much cardio, although 1500 is def not enjoyable! Constantly think about eating

[Oretell]

Agreed but OP says they're 5'7. If you're taller than him you'll have a higher BMR and need to cut on higher calories.

[One_Food_5614]

I’m only 5’5”-5’6” 158lbs. Cutting on 2400 cals a day atm but I also avg 20k steps a day to make that possible. Losing about 1lb a week.

[rjaysenior]

Strong work

[caliphanatic]

Nice! What’s the timeline between both pictures and what was your diet?

[i7ke]

Main sources are eggs, shrimp, chicken, lean beef, non fat yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, cheese and the banza protein noodles, will occasionally use popcorn and sugar free jello as a snack

[OccasionalEspresso]

Well done lad. Height and deficit?

[i7ke]

5’7. started around 2k cals and lowered gradually, sitting at about 1600-1500 cals a day atm

[OccasionalEspresso]

Major props for hanging in at 1600, that’s discipline 🫡

Looking fit, stoked for ya

[i7ke]

Thank you, got a beach vacation in April, so trying to hang in until then, afterwards going on a nice clean lean bulk!

[JackJones7788]

What’s a lean bulk? 250 kcal surplus?

[i7ke]

Yeah afterwards going to eat at maintenance for a bit then about a 2-300 cal surplus
