Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Man i'm in my 6th week(600mg pw) now and my hunger is through the fucking roof.... I'm just never satisfied. So now i had to modify my calorie intake up too 1600 from 1200. I just can't maintain 1200 any longer. Is the 6 week point normal for this? I'm pretty sure i'm getting stronger, and i'm getting a little more vascular. Does that sound about right?

Are you a 110lb female? Unless the answer is yes, you're eaint WAAAAY too few calories. I'm smaller than Azul, and I rarely go below 3200 calories/day, even when dieting. And I don't usually do cardio. If I do cardio, I keep calories between 3200-3500, and that's dieting. If I'm bulking, it's 4000-5000/day. You should be eating a hell of a lot more calories bro, what are you trying to achieve?

I agree. I put figure competitors on 1200 a day. And that's only the last couple weeks. I'd die on that amount. If you lost that much weight in 6 weeks, I can gaurantee that you lost some muscle. You're starving yourself bro! Up your cals to at least 2400. What are your ratios? How did you come up with that diet? I start my pre contest diet at 3500 cals and usually work down to around 2800 the last few weeks.

Damnit, I thought my peephole was too small for anyone to notice... plus I'm a penguin, I painted my white parts black so I thought I was pretty sneaky, i guess you know now though 
Lol, actually I just assume that most people are heavier than me b/c I'm only 5'5", and fairly lean. I just started tren and creatine, so I'll actually be gaining size the next month or so but staying the same bf or dropping... still won't be much over 180lbs I don't think though. Anyway, to the original poster... you shouldn't have started at only 1200cal/day. Your metabolism is probably shot to hell from being so low on cals, it might be very difficult to lose more weight from this point. I suppose you could have a VERY sluggish metabolism and 1600 is ok, but I'd have started at least around 2500cal/day and cut back slowly if needed.

It's ok, I don't mind you peeking on me Tux.
I suppose I am a bit heavier/taller than you... but I saw your pics, and you're still a sexy, big beast. And no, I'm not hitting on you... Ok, this has gone too far, byebye.

bro, I'm 5'8 with a small body frame and during my last cycle i was at 173 max. My normal body weight usually varies around 155. I've been off of my cycle now for 5 weeks and I'm already down to 163. I'm taking in over 2000 calories per day - the craziest thing is that yeah i have lost a little bit of muscle (i was on a test/eq cycle) - but that is to be expected, but now that i'm cutting down, i'm still maintaining 2000+ calories per day with atleast 250 grams of protein. Most people get hunger pains on eq for the first few weeks, but what your body is telling you bro, it just needs more calories!! eat atleast 2000 calories per day with the amount of protein you should be taking in, but eat it 6-7 times throughout the day. Given, I'm not going for mass but just that real cut look anyhow, but if you want to achieve that, you need to eat a little more and you'll get there..
remember, the faster you take off the fat, the quicker you'll lose your muscle and the quicker the fat will return..

Well no shit anyone getting only 1200 calories a day would have insane hunger, only compounded by the EQ. I would literally die with that amount of food.
