what if skinny like me?

No muscle to cut to, too fat to bulk...

That ain't me brah. Just showing the guy an example of skinny fat. I'm already 3 months in my cut.

You're welcome. But I'm kinda serious and hoping that you could give more insight to those who have the same dilemma that I had back then. Thought you could give info like slow bulk or recomp. Or to people who have much fat on them and the effect on estrogen or testosterone. In other words, I'm actually hoping that you could provide your point of view at this. Not just to me, just the mass majority of newbie who started with skinnyfat.

My apologies for my vague initial reply. But I'm srs.

don't always be on the edge la .. later no one dare to post anything in this section anymore...

Glad my decision is good. I was at 25% of BF god knows what'll happen if I choose to bulk lel thanks man

What advise would you give for someone who's on a cut for 3 months+ and have hit a stonewall with a deficit of 400/day? And also low TDEE 2000 - 400 = 1600 (very low already, can't go any lower).

refeed? cardio? reverse diet > slow bulk?

Can go lower than 1600 calories/day ?

I've did a lot of readings on this and a lot suggested that going any lower would be health affecting already... this is my understanding... but all of those comments are on bb.com all mat salleh .. prolly diff on us asians?

I've hit a cut plateau at 70.8kg ~ 71.3kg for over a month. I went to a vacation, pretty much eat what I wanted (mostly sea food and rice). I came back and weighted myself at 70.3kg

I guess eating near/at maintenance helped normalize things a bit. I'll go back to eating at 1600 calories per day for 2 more weeks to see if I'm gonna progress further.

My strength level didn't drop much throughout my cut as well. I've considered eating slightly more on my training days but the thing is, I train pretty much 6 days/week. Takkan I eat more 6 days/week lol.

I'm now experimenting on eating more only on my worst body part day (push day for me). If I don't progress further after another plateau, I'll try dropping my calories deficit to 1500 calories per day.

Thanks a lot man.

Hey man I'm alternating several body parts and they have enough rest.

Push/Pull/Legs/Off/Push/Pull/Legs/Off - repeat

hmm I've never though about going even lower after 1600 calories. Is it seriously not gonna affect my over health?

Thanks bro. I'll instead increase my activity (cardio 15 mins?) everyday.

But would you be losing lotsa muscles? Though I would give going lower a try if I still stalls. Thanks man.

Yeah man but I've been advised against going any lower than 1600 a lot on BB.com. Hence my dilemma.

bro, now that I think back to what you said, is this what people call "metabolism slowdown" ?

Edit: did some reading, I think I get the gist of it.
