Keep Cutting or Bulk Up?

MALE 26 yo / 62.5kg(138pounds)/ 5’10"

Right now cutting at 1400-1600 kcal a day. 10k steps daily. Working out 4x a week - upper lower routine.I don’t know what to do. I’m still not satisfied with my bodyfat. People around me tell me i have a BD. Should i keep cutting, maintain or leanbulk

Only you can decide what your goals are and whether you’re happy with your body or not.

All of us are different. If I was where you’re at I’d probably aim to slow bulk to 180lb with a few 3-4week mini cuts in between. That information is irrelevant to you because we don’t have enough information.

If I were to give any advice with the limited information though, it would be to not cut any further. When I was 10lbs lighter than you at the same height I considered myself seriously underweight and had a lot of petty little health problems that I blamed other stuff for.

If I woke up at 138lbs at 5’10, I would gain a LOT of weight

How can anyone tell you what to do? To me, a man at 62kgs is a girl. But for you, maybe you like the look and feel.
If it was me, i wouldnt cut until im at least 100kgs.

100kgs at 5 foot 10?

I was 98.5 kg at 5’9 when I started dropping weight.

…trying REALLY hard to make 100kg, haha

I’ve been 100kg at 6 foot and it didn’t look good.

I didn’t look good either. Its why I dropped the fat from there.

But THEN I looked good.

One thing i can’t resist is that im constantly hungry - starving. I’m kinda satisfied with my pretty lean body but i don’t think i can manage to maintain 1500 kcal whole year around. I just love food and miss old days when i ate like a horde

Have you ever spoken with a professional about your relationship with food?

At that weight I was still barely training but sticking tablespoons of olive oil in my protein shakes with the desperation of adding calories any way I could. Falling asleep halfway through a meal and intermittently waking up to force another forkful.

Can you describe what you exactly mean please ?

Its a binary question my dude. You would know if you ever did or did not do this.

He means you are probably anorexic and need help.

He means you may have an eating disorder… (same time post as hankthetank89, but yup)

Worrying about eating too much when you are that underweight is a massive sign that you might do.

I wonder why the argument that protein makes you feel full is constantly pushed. This does not happen to me. If I don’t eat, for example, potatoes, rice, beans all the time, no matter how big a steak I’ve eaten, my stomach is full, but I still feel hungry. I can eat like this, it works well for my blood pressure and sugar, but I don’t feel full. The good thing about this is that without carbs I constantly have the mental feeling that I’m getting thinner and thinner.
Is there a person here who does not really feel any hunger if he eats only meat, eggs and vegetable salads.

Not what I mean; no

Bread makes me full AF. I actually eat bread when cutting as wheat not only fills me up, it also kills my apetite for the whole day.

This isn’t what I mean

Folks, I would appreciate it if people stuck with saying what THEY mean instead of what they think I mean. I am straight forward. It was a question

I mean sure, but you can forgive us for implying talking to a professional as to what your concerns might be.

Apologies either way.
