hey Raynor, did some major calculating of my calories.
I eat about 2142 cal daily, +/- 200 ( since i'm never 100% the same it can vary )
130g protein
122g fat
131g carbs ( I calculated 50g of fiber ) - so about 81g of net carbs.
I exercise 6 days a week, and the whole BMR and daily needs with activity level put me around 3100 cal to maintain weight.
Am I eating still too little to cut? I'm seeing a change, but it's pretty slow... maybe because i'm around 13% and it gets a lot harder the last few pounds?
I'm full alot with all the high fat, high fiber foods I eat... so I even eat when i;m not that hungry to try to get above 2000 cal.
I don't think i'm low enough in cal to be put in starvation mode, so am I on the right track with this?
I decided to do low carb but no keto diet...so this is still effective at the last few pounds right?
And how much of a difference will I see using BCAA after work out as opposed to a regular lean whey with Glut+creatine.
You are on the right track. You are NOT in starvation mode. For the last few pounds, it's much harder than simply going low carb on a calorie deficit. You need to train harder and try doing things like training first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (fasting training) and putting that depleted glycogen store to good use.
BCAA will act to spare your muscle tissue as much as possible - it does not compare to creatine/glutamine which are for entirely different purposes.
