Have you just started cutting? or have you been doing it for a while? Are you new to this all "healthy living" life style?

btw How did you measure your bodyfat %?

Shahar.

Are you sure that you're correct in your calorie calculations?

If so, that's too low for your weight.

I am a fitness newbie in every sense of the word. I measured my bodyfat with the calipars at my gym(not sure the namebrand.)

I double checked all my numbers and they seem to add up. To me, the numbers on the chicken seem off, but according to the back of the package my numbers are dead on.


Do see anywhere in particular I could bump up a few hundred calories or so? Is around 2300 where you think I should be? Everything else look OK I assume?

Thanks man.
