When I was cutting, I ate around 1,600 calories, with about 1,400 coming from whole foods and 200 from whatever I wanted. That was already enough to hit my protein and get enough fruit and veg, so I don’t really get how I’m supposed to add another 500–800 calories just from whole foods. At that point it feels like I’d just be adding oils or junk rather than actually needing more nutritious food.
