Your post is irrelevant to the point.
Sure, maybe is metabolism is much higher than someone's, that only means he needs to do more work to get a higher maintenance, as I stated.
A higher metabolism doesn't mean that your body needs less nutrition.

If anything it ends more! XD. If I skip a single meal or don't have multiple between meal snacks throughout the day I lose weight fast

Well its weird cause i have been eating around 1500 for few months and i am feeling good. I eat around 1800 when i do sports though but i dont fel deprived or anything. I am losing weight though.

did deadlifts for the first time in a while a few days ago

fuck they shredded my hams and i wasn't even doing stiff legs or anything

does that just mean my hams are weak or my form isn't the best?

How often you squat

i rarely squat because i dislocated my right foot last year, my range of motion just isn't there and it's hard for me to get all the way down

i normally just do weighted lunges

Probably a little of both, just focus on form with low weight and if you got it down and move back up and ask someone to form check you.




Cutting for me is 1900 calories while not doing sports, and about 2600 doing sports, and I'm a small guy lol

Glad this turned out. Weighing in at 187 now with more muscle and less body fat I am sure.

Keep it up everyone!

How is that irrelvant to the point.

Please explain? I am not educated on this matter but it seems everyone is different. Some simply need more/less calories to maintain/cut or whatever then others.

I understand the goal is to increase metabolism in order to increase gains/weight loss in the future, but if you are trying to lose weight presently should you not be eating at a calorie deficit?

Either way he has done very well and lots tons of weight, so it is working for him.

You're correct in saying that a caloric deficit is needed to lose weight, and that people are different in the sense that their metabolisms vary, and other aspects such as size etc affect caloric maintenance levels.
The point I was making was that, regardless of metabolisms, if you want to cut at -500 calories, you should have a maintenance of at least 2300 so you can cut at 1800 calories. If your maintenance is less than 2300, say 2100, you should not cut to 1600 but instead increase workload to burn the extra couple hundred calories.
Sure, cutting at 1600 will still cause you to lose weight, but the long term effects are negative such as fatigue, malnutrition, chemical imbalances, and other things. This is irrelevant of size or metabolism.
