No energy on a cut

[jaymaximus]

Title says it all. I've been cutting, it's been great, but lately I have no energy. I push through workouts with double scoops of PWO, and beyond that, all I want to do is sleep.

How long have you been cutting for and how much weight lost so far? You do any refeeds?

 

[Xlgx]

Carb refeed?

 

[Evom1]

+1 for refeed

What have you been using for stimulants, what are your stats, and how long have you been cutting?

What's your water intake, and vitamin and health supplement intake?

Personally I feel I have more energy with more carbs on a cut. So with your macros I would do something like,

250 protein
240 carb
50 fat

Then as long as I'm steadily losing weight, I'll throw in a refeed every 5 days. Which basically I would just eat and extra 50 grams of carbs and maybe 10 grams of fat.

I usually cut really slow too. I'll cut about 20 grams of carbs every week until either I get to my desired weight, or I feel like I'm starving. lol. At that point I just reverse diet to build back up my metabolism.

Since mid september, down about 30lbs. No scheduled refeeds, just a few cheat meals, Thanksgiving and all.

You need more than that

Do you consume carbs pre and intra? I find intra do be especially beneficial.

How often are you thinking? And we just talking more carbs, same calories, or more calories with similar macro %

I haven't been. It's worth a look. I do about 65-70% of my carbs at breakfast.

Why? Why not do 65-70% of them pre intra and post workout?

As for refeeds, just a thought but how about once every 7-10 days you double your carb intake?

Depends on how lean you are now and how hard and long you've been cutting for. Without knowing anymore info, I'd say every 7-10days do a good refeed. You'll need to take in a lot of carbs these days. Drop fats a bit and eat at maintenance with carbs filling up the majority of your cals.

Is this an enhanced or natural cut? Also, what are your stats (height, weight, bf% estimate)? Answers to both would determine whether a 1 day refeed will do much of anything at this point.

Instead of breakfast. I prefer pre/intra/post. That should do the trick. Works for me...

Enhanced. 200mg tren wk/ 300 test, pretty simple. Right now Im 72 inches, 197ish, and @Docd187123 says about 12% bf, I trust his judgment.

I had to. I started a stripping career and got paid more to put my clothes back on

 

[Docd187123]

I was going to ask what the circular cutout in the back of your shorts was for but I let my imagination answer that one...

Increase your carbs. Only 5% carbs have even a chance to convert to fat. And lower your fat to 60.


Carbs will not make you fat, only will make your muscles look Fuller.

And don't forget to only run 125mg test, keep E2 between 23.7 and 36.42
