If you think it's a high calorie count for a cut it's because a lot of them will be burned during the workouts. I'm a sweat while doing this program, but I also think I'll be done earlier than the 6 weeks for the results I'm looking for (2-3% bodyfat reduction). I can attest that I would have dropped dead in the gym had I gone straight to a subcaloric nutrition on this kind of intense workout. In phase 3 (last 3 weeks) you drop them to 0.5/pound bodyweight.įor 168lbs, you will eat 2100 calories on training days for half the program (last 3 weeks).Īs we can see, the cut in carbs (and therefore calories) isn't abrupt, it's eased in so that your body can adapt. In phase 2 (next 2 weeks) you drop carbs to 1g/pound bodyweight.

The trainer says that on free days you exclude the pre and after workout shake (total 90gr of protein powder - about 300 calories). The macros you listed are just for the first week. Has anyone done this routine and followed the diet? If I was to follow this diet it seems it's more of a bulking diet, as it's 700 calories above my maintenance which would make me gain 1.4 pounds a week. This is basically 700 calorific surplus compared to my maintenance TDEE and I haven't even hit carb requirements! Was planning on copying the listed meal for a day or two based on my macro needs but it is way above my Maintenance TDEE which at this weight is around 2000.Įntering everything just goes against what I believed during this healthy weightloss journey. I'm planning on following the nutritional plan to the T but I was wondering if my understanding of Macros is correct.ġ.5g of Protein per pound: 168 * 1.5 = 252gġ.5g of Carbs per pound =168 * 1.5g = 252g. I'm planning on following Shortcut to Shred workout after doing Reddits PPL for over a year. I'm now trying to drop to around 155 since my height is 5ft 6.

I went from 262->168 pounds in 11 months, and been weightlifting this entire time.

So I'm switching from counting calories to counting macros for this workout specifically.
