New here, so hello everyone. Here’s my dilemma, I’m seven weeks into a fifteen week cut. Started at 192 down to 185. Holding muscle well. However, every morning I wake up hard AF. Then after my first meal I start to look flat and watery. By night I’m a soft ball of crap. Wake up next day, hard AF again! Pumps are great but short lived. What’s going on?
I’m 5’ 10”. Currently holding 15% BF. Goal at end of cut is at least 12%. Calories are at 2,150, very low card, low-moderate fats. Everything tracked and weighed. Very consistent.
Currently training weights five days/wk, two heavy compound days and three speed days with bodybuilding movements thrown in. I mix it up. Fasted cardio 45 mins six days a week.
Any ideas on why the meals are setting me off for the day? Never experienced this before. Several years ago I was able to get sub par 12%, muscular, full abs, without any issues.
Diet, not that it really matters, is mainly chicken, eggs, some whey powder, sweet potatoes, cauliflower rice, avocados, and almond butter. I don’t believe it’s food related. Possibly digestive issues but everything feels normal except when I look in the mirror.
