That’s great to hear. Keeping your strength or even improving while on a cut brings a certain feeling of confidence with what you’re doing, and that feels pretty nice.

Word up

I feel that’s the case with all dairy products, they have a horrible texture really. I ate 1.5 kilos of potatoes after training today with no problem, but if I were to do the same with quark or even yoghurt you could forget it. (Not that I would substitute quark for potatoes, that’s just an example)

I’m an ex-carbophobe outside of pizza, that would be tough for me. Impressive though!

@danteism

Is this something secret technique? I usually just starve.

No, I don’t think so. Pickles are very low calorie though.

@danteism

One thing you don’t want to do is to have too much filler foods - your stomach has to empty every once in a while for it to function normally. I can’t recall the scientific terms for this at the moment but basically if your stomach is always full it will stop registering the feeling of fullness and you’ll be hungry no matter how much you’ve eaten. That’s a part of the reason why I’ve switched to eating less meals and only having 1-2 big meals daily. (And that’s also why I keep my meals rather small when dieting)

If you remember the term, let me know. I don’t know how meal frequency impacts the hormones that regulate hunger (ghrelin primarily) but I don’t eat that often either. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, pre-bed snack. I consume my filler foods along with my meals.

Yeah, usually the hard gainers eat one or two voluminous meals (for them) per day with maybe some snacks in there and they perceive that as eating like a horse or force feeding. Also, their capacity to eat food is usually quite small if they are not accustomed to eating truly big meals. For example, I can down over 3 kilos of solid food and then some liquids on top of that and be all good to eat again in a couple of hours, whereas my brother may eat three slices of a pizza and be stuffed for half a day. We are brothers so there shouldn’t be that much difference genetically, it’s just that I’ve been eating a lot fo years while he hasn’t.

That’s a very accurate description I would say, goes in line with what I have observed in friends and co-workers.

Nice, I’ll make sure to get in there
