3 week cutting

[ClaudioAnimal]

hello guys, im just about to start cutting and I have some doubts.

can I go above 100g of carbs?

how can I maintain my strength?

Is a 1000 calorie deficit too much?

what are the best meals to fill in with carbs?


I appreciate your answers guys, the last time I cut I lost strength, and I dont want that to happen again because eventhough its kinda easy to regain it slows my progress

I'll tell u what to do. Work out your BMR. Add on your activity factor. Subtract 500. Have around 25% of your calories from carbs, 30% from fats and the rest from protein. 1000 calorie deficit is too much if you want to maintain strength. Start with 3-500 and once weightloss stalls adjust from there. Personally i stick below 100g carbs for about six days then I have a carb refeed of around 300g carbs once a week.

yeah, i've been doing like that, the only difference is that im eating 30%for carbs and fats and 40 for protein and i still didnt have a carb refeed, ill have it by tomorrow or sunday

Just remember it's a marathon. Not a sprint! Make sure you have that refeed, you'll need it to replace muscle glycogen stores

I've been reading that carbs are best first thing in the morning, pre workout, and post workout. I avoid carbs after my post workout meal, but to each his own.

How was you last cut set up when you lost strength? How did you alter your training when you began to cut?

You can definitely go above 100g of CHO as long as it you maintain a caloric deficit. I am a big fan of CHO cycling throughout the weak to help maintain strength throughout a cut.

I would also say that would be too large of a deficit each day. Better to take it slow and steady while maintaining strength than to lose too fast and possibly sacrifice lean body mass/strength/overall performance.
