Switching from bulking to cutting?

[letsrun4it]

Ok so I've been trying to bulk and I'm 5 weeks into my cycle and I really can't do it. I don't miss any workouts but with a pretty stressful life I have going right now (girlfriend issues) eating the quantity of food I need is really difficult, I just don't have an appetite. I either need to come off cycle because its a waste of time or I can switch over and make this a cutting cycle and start dieting. Since I already am 5 weeks in, the ICN test should be kicking in seems like a waste to come off. I can def eat 2000-2500 quality calories a day, its just the 4000-5000 I'm struggling to get down.

Sound like a good plan?

Changing calories and cardio will be the best bet IMO. I would keep the cycle going and get lean while it is still summer. This will also solve some girl problems 2500 quality cals can be enough but in my experience this depends on your body mass and your activity level.

Not the bad ones though.

I deff dont see a problem with that...dont come off...just change your approach to your cycle diet and training wise and you'll be ok...dont know your stats so not sure if 2500 is ok for you...

I'm 5'11" 202 pounds. I really don't know my bodyfat but just to give you an idea I bench 305 and I deadlift in the 330-340 range for maxs. So I'm not a fat 202 but I'm def not ripped.

I'd say keep your cals at 2500 for a few weeks and see how you feel...if your gaining but loosing fat your good...if your not gaining nor loosing may want to drop 200-300 cals

I have a feeling that I'll lose pretty fast if I eat clean because while bulking I go with the "eat everything in sight" plan.
