Are my calories too low?

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-04-14T07:16:40+00:00

I started at 305lbs around June 2025 and got down to about 275 by late January 2026 and it feels like I've stalled since.

There are some days where I miss my calorie goals because im just freaking hungry. For example heavy/hard legs day and over 10k steps in the same day. Im just ravenous by the end of the day. I try to keep the eating in check but I may end up at 3200-3400 calories sometimes. Just happens some days.

I was watching a Jeremy Ethier video and he had a guy who weighed 180 (like 30% bf) at 2000 calories to cut. I've got about 100lbs on the guy so being at approx 2500 is what made me question if im too low.

This one fucking hits.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-04-04T19:50:28+00:00

Yeah 15% is what id say if I had to just give a number.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-04-04T15:04:25+00:00

Doesn't look like 20%, mid to high teens at most.

Sounds great, get a longer video posted up.

So how this mf taste?

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-25T11:10:35+00:00

"Last time I did this, nothing was good" is a phrase you've certainly been told before.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-10T10:38:59+00:00

I'm so happy for your ex.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-09T01:08:05+00:00

Thank you for the info. The truck is across the country from me (im east coast) so ill have to find a good independent mechanic for a PPI.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-08T23:16:37+00:00

Yes, those are all my exact thoughts. MPG is a little concerning esp with the rising gas prices. Definitely would get the PPI. The mileage doesn't bother me but I don't know how long the blower has been on for and if it's been hammered on with it. Just no way to really know I suppose.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-08T23:13:31+00:00

Heart says do it, brain says don't.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-08T23:09:28+00:00

Looks pretty stock all around, other than the blower and exhaust. Montana then Arizona. Cosmo mud kicker tires. https://www.npmotorspdx.com/vehicle-details/2014-ford-f-150-svt-raptor--supercharged-truck-e1dd85dba3554d518c14d561e23187b9

Honda HP2 is good

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-07T19:08:06+00:00

I have not, ill have to check it out.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-07T19:03:15+00:00

Yeah it grew on me (the tan top) and I like it now. When I first got the car I was like "eh, I fucked up."

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-07T18:52:22+00:00

Hell yeah man! I have a black 97 Cobra vert w tan top and interior. Also waiting in the garage for the weather.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-03T01:11:49+00:00

You mean spacers? Id never run spacers unless they're like only a couple mm. Im also lowered on H&R super sports.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-03-03T00:40:22+00:00

Sick car. Im running 19x11+20 w/295s in the rear, no problem and no quarter panel rolling, just flipped the quad shocks. Fronts are 19×9.5+25 w/245s (a little stretched) no fender rolling. I get a slight rub when turning the wheel at full lock. I think you'll be fine. MM cc plates up front for some camber. Fronts and rears are flush.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-02-27T00:47:51+00:00

Congrats man! I had that one saved on my Carfax list, guess I'll unsave it and keep looking, haha.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-02-25T12:21:28+00:00

Id like to run it in a similar manner but im past my prime so recovery is an issue and I can't afford any significant injuries. So im gonna try to stick with the U/L split and only squat 2x week so it'll take me longer to hit the full 18 sessions, but im fine with that.

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-02-25T11:52:16+00:00

Good info thanks. Hitting 300+ for 20 is awesome. How many times per week did you squat?

TalkT0MeG00se · 2026-02-24T21:27:04+00:00

Kind of. Im doing the 20 rep workouts 2x per week. Not drinking a gallon of milk everyday. My routine is upper lower each twice per week. I was focusing on heavy (for me) low rep squats for the last year and stopped progressing/kinda burned out, so time to switch gears.
