How active am I?

[MonarchX]

I sit on my butt almost all day long (no job) or just lay on my bed watching TV, but in the gym:

Mon, Wed, Fri - 40-50 minutes heavy weight lifting + 20-30 minutes mid-intensity cardio.
Tue, Thu, Sat - HIIT for as long as possible (7 minutes tops for now, just started doing it) + 40 minutes mid-intensity cardio.

Is this sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, or very active life style? How many calories am I burning with such a life style? I'm 6'0 ft tall, 29 year old male, 18-20% body fat, 194lbs, Total T @ 1255, Free T @ 26, E2 @ 26.

FYI, people are telling me 1500 calorie diet is really bad for me and I should stay closer to 1800 if not 2000, but I am not losing weight with a 2000 calorie diet...

What are your goals? Other than loose weight, obviously.

 

[MonarchX]

Reach 10 percent body fat within 3months without much muscle loss... If possible of course!

 

[ickyrica]

You opposed to gaining lean mass as well? The more muscle you have the easier fat loss will become.

10% bf seems like a lot to loose that quickly being relatively lean to begin with. I believe you would need supplementation for your goals, I personally wouldn't take the supps needed but a lot of folks do.

If i was to try a weight loss drug it would be clen or albuterol fyi.

What are your macros?

 

[MonarchX]

I have amphetamines, but they lower testosterone just like caffeine, albuterol, ECA stack, yohimbe, etc.

I take 1g of protein per lean body weight (155-160lbs), 0.4-0.5g of fat per lean body weight, and some carbs. I can fit within 1500-1750 calories.

I saw people with my stats get ripped so I know it's possible!

You have amphetamines? Well stay away from Class A drugs to lose weight dude, that's a big fucking cannon to pull out to pop a bird .

I'd say your workouts burn through 3500 calories or less per week. If you use the rule of thumb that a 2500 calorie deficit can burn through 2.2 pounds of fat, you see that your workouts are not bringing you much closer to your goal, especially since you are such a lazy ass coach potatoe the remaining 23 hours of the day.

My mate does 2 hours of cardio PER DAY as an example when he cuts, he looks fucking Tarzan.

Up your cardio, get some action during the day. Now the lawn, fuck bitches, clean out a swimming pool for the fun of it, climb something tall.

Also find your BMR, that's a very important number for you.

If you don't lose weight on 2000 cals, it means your body is happy with it (or you are building muscle while losing dat), and you have a plateu to break through by taking in less wrong energy and/or outputting more right energy.

It's that simple.

Oh and becoming bulimic, that works too

You're lightly active. Use a calculator to get your BMR then multiply by around 1.35 as your activity factor. Subtract 10-20% cals and that's what you eat at initially. Adjust from there.

Everything @DonQKong mentioned is a bad idea except for the bulimic part
Jking!

That's the stuff I need to be more familiar with myself. I go by the way I look in the mirror!

Need at least 5 percent less body fat before I can fuck bitches - I don't like myself naked now . 10 minute sex session burns some 100 calories anyway...

As far as why I am lazy - I am in withdrawal from long-term benzodiazepine use and my anxiety is through the roof + sweaty hands, fatigue, itch, aches, unable to.sleep, and I even cried at the end of Pan's Labyrinth... Gym is about the only thing I can concentrate on...

I feel for you. The benzo issues will pass. Stay focused.

That I do agree with, keep it up little man, that and just bang the little bit fat and little bit ugly bitches while your self esteem builds up and your alpha-male comes back out again to play. Stick it in her even if she looks a bit like a pokemon.

As you progress and get abs power ups, go for slimmer, taller and prettier.

One day, you will be banging them 6 foot 3 platinablond ones with inflated boobies, gyrating flashpop-vaginas and a low calorie diet only allowing cum. Your cum. 6 servings per day to keep methabolism peaking.

Bah, the hottest girl in school had a crush on me for years when I was skinny-fat, so doing fat ugly bitches is NOT acceptable. Its not a matter who I could do, but a matter of self-esteem. I want to look good naked, even if its not necessary for the hottest babes.

Off-topic:
Besides, I was born and raised in Ukraine, where there are more women than men. My class had 25 girls and 5 guys, so each guy could pick 5 girls. About 70% of women in Ukraine are HOT AS HELL. You can actually tell them "Hey, you're getting fat. I married/hooked up with you because you were hot skinny, but now I am not that attracted to you..." and guess what? They will go and DO something about it. They do expect men to be SUPER-Macho. Over there if someone grabs your girl's ass or calls her a bad name, the girl will expect you to bloody your fists and win, but over there nobody will arrest you for a fight, unlike here in USA, where men are forced to wear skirts while women wear pants... It happened to me once (some idiot called my girl a whore), and I did bloody my fist, but the other guy was huge and kicked my ass. I woke up in blood, urine, and beer with people laughing, telling me the girl went home with the guy who called her a whore and kicked my ass... . I need to take some boxing or kick-boxing classes or something.

^^^^ that a true story OP? Wild one for sure. Would you clarify one thing for me? You said men in the US forced to wear skirts. Assuming you mean figuratively, I wonder if you mean gay men or stay at home dads? Or something different even?

That's of course a true story and such a story happens on DAILY basis there. If you're going to take a woman out to a club or bar, there may be blood... not always, but its always possible. Thing is, rarely do people get really hurt or dead, maybe a broken jaw or bone or something minor.

No offense, but in USA, men are passive/feminine and women are aggressive/masculine, while in Ukraine Patriarchy RULES. When I came to US at the age of 13 and some girls approached me to flirt/talk with me, I was shocked because in Ukraine the MAN picks the woman and she either accepts or rejects. A woman approaching a man to me meant "Fuck me right here, right now, in the ass, I'm a slut!" That repulsed me so much. Took me years to figure things out...

 

[ickyrica]

Wild. Thanks for clarifying. Good luck with the benzos and leaning out.
