I know I shouldn't count the calories but I was just worried about muscle loss when I fall about 1000kcal(?) behind. The diet has worked wonders and I like it. Just wanted to ask your opinion on this chart. What is it, I am losing muscle fast or is it just water, fat etc? I started from 86 kg. The weight reduction has been really fast and I feel and look thinner. And btw I'm about 186 cm long if it matters.
You should be eating more, more fat to be specific. You want fat to be around 60% of your calories, maybe more.Knowing your BF% would also help know, as well as training.
Thank you for your comment! I guess I should be eating more although I'm feeling almost all the time full and can't even think about eating more. Well I'll try to up it a little. I don't really know my BF% but I can only roughly estimate to something like 25% maybe less but somewhere around that… aand for the training, I don't really do anything right now. Just normal school and work.(And for the chart, there might be some mistakes but should give some information. As for the 500kcal day, can't really believe I ate so little. Propably missing some calories. Buuuuut anyway...)

Are you male or female? I recommend trying to keep both fat and protein somewhere around 100-140g protein and fat per day.Also, a large majority of the weight was likely water so I wouldn't worry yet, just try not to make it a common occurrence.

Male. I'll try my best to add up some protein and fat. Maybe my body needs some adjusting to this new diet and maybe next week I can eat more. 🙂 Now it feels hard but let's hope. Thanks for the help!

Eat a pound of bacon. Problem solved!
Well now I have been trying to fix my bacon input and feeling pretty good although still pretty hard to gather kcal if it matters. Well anyway. The topic is about muscle loss so I wanted to ask you guys about leucine in whey isolate.In CBL A.M. Accelerator Shake includes coffee, whey isolate 10g and MCT oil. I though leucine was a bad thing in the morning but I guess in that small amount it doesn't matter?
Although I’m a huge proponent of leucine, this approach probably isn’t a very good idea. Even without the presence of glucose (which most amino acids need to help increase insulin release), leucine stimulates insulin release—which is what we’re trying to avoid in the morning because it can cause the same reactions as a carb-laden breakfast.
Leucine is powerfully anabolic.It doesn’t matter if your goal is more muscle mass or lessbody fat, take leucine.
