I would whither away and die if I only ate 1800 calories. Do you know your BMR and TDEE??

It's cool bro, I just like to eat than throw in shakes. I leaned out pretty nice on that diet. I held size but lost fat. Remember to lose fat u need to eat healthy fats.

It could use some work brother. Too many shakes imo. Only time i have a shake is post workout along with other food. Im rolling with the sponge master himself so I cant give anything away out of respect. But im on 2700 cals right now an am still hungry,lol. But the carb cycling is doing its job. Going to be upping them in the next few weeks.

If you have some extra bread that you can spend, get with spongy if he has spots available.

I'm 185 lbs and I eat 4500 cals a day, I could lose weight at 3500. Everyone's different, but unless you have a really slow metabolism or something you could probably eat some more calories. When you say you're a "heavy" 210, do you mean that you have a lot of bodyfat? Do you know what your BMI is?
