    I recently listened to keifer speak about the benefits of being in a slight calorie deficit during ulc week. My macros are pretty spot on @ 1 gram protein and just over .5 for fat. Pwo I have my shake with 5 grams leucine and this entire week I have had 4 Brussels sprouts, 2 mushrooms and 1 cup of cauliflower rice made with mct.  By 7 30 I am starving…….but to eat more will put me over on macros. Do I just suck it up? Or do I eat? My goal is to drop fat and gain muscle.  It doesn't bother me to be hungry at night…..just don't want to be creating a problem either  🙂

    IF you don't want to increase your fats, you could always make some grilled chicken and have a 3oz fillet or something like that. Or water like I do.

    I would eat. But I don't track macros. I just eat as I'm hungry.

    If you're training a lot, this could be why you are hungry. You can probably up your fat/protein a little and be okay. I don't usually get hungry on this diet when I eat a lot of meat and fat.

    You probably need to eat more, or you can concentrate more of your food at night.  During the day it is much easier to kill hunger (coffee does the trick) than at night.

    I am patiently waiting for the new Shockwave.  I have no idea how to implement this for now…..what do you suggest?

    With the amount of training you're doing and your goal of building muscle, your body needs raw materials to work with…so you should probably eat more animal protein.

    either scale back the hiit training for a week or two, give your body a chance to rest and recover, you will find that the trauma that the muscled are having will cause a slight slower response as far as looks and water under the skin, as well as metabolism, however, with that being said, training that much, and as hard as you do, body does need fuel, and i would, bump the meals to later, and up either the fat intake, add anther meal, or like me, eat a head of iceburg lettuce with vinegar and mct oil..that seems to do the trick..you try that for a week or so, and results with body composition, and hunger will dissapear..happens to me every year i diet for a show..

    If you are gonna workout that much, at least eat more food.  Kiefer uses the .5:1 ratio for people with high bodyfat that need to lose a ton of fat.  Nearly everybody else ends up eating more, especially with that training volume.

    I would also eat more 🙂 remember, that's just a rough estimate.

    I got on the scale this morning and after posting last night that I weighed 113 I am now down to 109!! After reading many responses I am clearly over training and perhaps not eating enough?  I was disappointed as I actually thought the scale may read higher as a result of some more muscle mass :(.  Would you agree that I should limit my HIIT now to 2-3 days per week?  Right now ( until the new SW comes out)  I am basically training back/biceps 1 day….shoulder/tri's the second day and legs the third…take 1 day off and do it again.  My body fat has not officially been tested but im pretty sure I am around 20%.  What would a good protocol be for me…a 5'3..now 109 lb female who wants some muscle mass!! BUT no more fat.  Any suggestions are so appreciated…feeling a bit lost as to how to proceed?  Thanks 🙂

    You sound like you should do Carb Backloading.
