Just wondering if i'm shooting myself in the foot trying to run LP on 2,700cals per day. Everything I read on SS nutrition seems to say, if above 20% bf you need 3,500cals.
Since the start of the year I have been consuming roughly 2,700-2,800 per day with a weekend cheat night, few beers, pizza or something. My weight has come down from 203lb around christmas to 198lb currently (about 7weeks). My pants are starting to feel looser too. Can I make good gains on LP with this few calories or will I just stall out.
My lifts are still going up but obviously starting to slow a little
Squat 50kg - 102.5kg
Deadlift 70kg - 130kg
Bench 50kg - 70kg
Press 25kg - 45kg
My 2,700cals per day look as follows
Breakfast
3 whole 3 egg whites with tomatoes scrambled in olive oil with low fat cheese
80g wholegrain oats 250 2% milk
Honey
Snack
cottage cheese
Apple
Lunch
Tuna sandwhich (wholegrain bread)
Or
Tuna baked potato
Salad & olive oil dressing
Pre workout snack
1 scoop whey
Banana
Post workout Dinner
Homemade Chilli (made with 95% ground beef)
Baked potato
Pre bed
200g 0% fat greek yogurt
1 scoop whey
100g frozen berries
1TBSP natural peanut butter
230p/270c/80f
Am I on the right track with this?
Thanks
