I must be hungry I read this as you bought a 2.5lb pasty and though hmmmmm I need a pasty
Always this.
Seriously, though, splits are great for training around whatās hurt. Keep your leg day and find machines and whatnot that donāt hurt. Maybe do a bunch of cardio on a bike that day or something like that. Youāll end up finding something you like that you can keep when you go back to your norm
PEDs are not the answerā¦

I got a Big Mac the other day after reading Markās log.

Iāve added a peanut butter and honey sandwich washed down with a scoop of protein with whole milk to my daily intake, I will be the heaviest Iāve ever been by the end of this!
While he eats eggs and vegetables twice a day!
Iām actually up a half pound, but the rest of what you wrote is true of me, and I feel like I look better and feel better in my clothes, so Iām also calling it a recomp and planning for THE BIG SHREDā¦soon.
I feel increasingly strong, and that feels really good. But this morning, for example, I woke an hour before the alarm went off and couldnāt get back to sleep because I was so hungry.

I am finding myself currently in a state equilibrium. You know, the state where both your Fat Guy pants and your Skinny Guy pants all basically fit to a greater or lesser extent. I donāt know if it is just me that has this issue, but I generally have to have two different sets of pants depending where I am in the bulk/shed process.
Itās tempting to just stay where I am now. Lest I have to go buy a few more pairs of skinny pants. First World problems.

I have lots of nice t-shirts I want to wear but currently donāt because theyāre too tight on my belly. Thatās a pretty big motivation for me to lose weight.
My discipline right now is reaching never seen before levels. I just got offered a biscuit and said no, I donāt know if Iāve done that much before. Then I got made a cup of coffee and said no to sugar and milk.
Itās the small things.

As a broke college student, any expense feels like a painful stab 
I feel like I kinda have a lot of money these days. And it is BECAUSE I donāt buy more pants.

This is kinda what I do when I am ācuttingā. I might still stuff my pie-whole with snacks every evening, but I cut out little bits and pieces throughout the day. Fewer or no cups of coffee with milk and sugar. Never eat the cake served at lunch. Never eat snacks or candy during the day time. Cut out almost all soda. Cut down on alcohol. Etc. I find this mostly bearable.
Iāve started tracking calories and gone a bit crazy to be honest haha.

Thatās one reason I donāt track these days. I tend to get OCD about certain things, and then I will over do it.
Itās definitely helping me so Iāll stick with it for now. Long term though Iād like to not need to.
It was indeed. Eat lots good food to recover and some liver was recommended.
Eating quality and quantity are different metrics.
I prefer 600, 300, 800, 300, 800, 300 but the math just doesnāt work out for cutting.

My ideal plan is something like 000, 600, 200, 800, 10000.

I cheated for lunch yesterday and got a chicken a la vodka sub yesterday. It was the best thing Iāve ever eaten. It was literally the first piece of bread Iāve had since 1/1. Crushed it in the gym last night though.
