Hey guys

So I used to weigh around 160, maybe about 6 months ago.
Now I am at 180.
I have bulked up in both muscle and fat.

I like the weight I am at but I want to loose the fat.
Mostly belly and chest fat.

I guess you can say I want to start cutting.

How do I do that exactly?

I don't have the greatest of knowledge when it comes to what workouts to do, how much cardio to do, or what types of food I should and should not be eating
All I know is not to eat sugar lol.

Can I know some fitness tips from you guys?
What types of food should I eat?
What types of food should I avoid eating?
What workouts should I do?
How much cardio should I do?
Should I do cardio before or after weight lifting?
What kind of supplements should I take, if any at all?

Or just other tips you may what to share
I appreciate your help and the time you have taken to post here in advance.

Easiest way imo is to include extra cardio and have a pulse monitor that estimates the expenditure. You wanna lose around 200 kcal per day on average iirc (someone correct me if i'm wrong), though you can spread it over the week. The rest remains the same.


The other option is to decrease portions by a percentage equivalent to 200 kcal per day, but it's harder if you don't track your food.

You should avoid large amounts of bacon.

And do some cardio.

yea I definitely don't track my food.
guess I just have to up my cardio
sigh, I hate cardio lol






lmao thanks guys
I RARELY eat bacon anyway lol

forreal though
any tips?

Other than increasing cardio, you're gonna have to track what you eat and at least get a GENERAL idea so you're in the ball park and either over do the cardio by a hundred calories or so or get it just right and be at like a 2-400calorie deficit

But bro just think... if you weren't lazy about your food intake and kept track of it.. You could be lazy about cardio and I'm with you on that, FUCK CARDIO!

But then again doing cardio takes less brains and if you walk/jog on a treadmill you could possibly even do something semi-productive like reading something

Track what you eat, figure out your TDEE and make sure you are UNDER it on non-workout days. It sucks but gets easier the more you do it, try an app like my fitness pal.

Cardio just make sure you are getting a good amount in like 30-40 min on top of lifting.

Lifting will be testy. A lot of people notice lowered energy levels, strength loss and mental exhaustion. If your still incorporating carbs(CHO) into your meals try and only consume a majority of them before and after your lift sessions and don't get discouraged at stagnation. Carbs will help with Glycogen storage and muscle recovery but don't be surprised if you need a minute extra between reps.
