1200 calories per day is perfectly fine for leanmaxing.

I agree. I don’t think carbs should be avoided like they are some poison because of muh randle cycle or some BS. The carb intake of the average person however is way more than it should be by a large amount IMO. And their carbs are just filled with sugar and 0 nutrition (cereals, breads, chocolates etc) When not cutting I try stick to not exceed 100g a day, usually slightly less since I do focus more on having high fat and protein intake.

Great to see someone with a similar approach to eating and an open mind, lol. Let me know how your leanmaxxing turns out when you finish your cut.

Eat 1200 calories (which is legit 4’11 female tier calories) from actual nutrient dense food sources:

• liver
• beef / red meats
• eggs
• butter
• raw cheese
• etc

You are still getting far, far more nutrition than 99% of the population, despite the low calories.

Low calories =/= malnutrition

Malnutrition will happen even with high calories, if your food choices are shit. It’s about nutrients, not calories.

Most normies diet consists of high carb, empty calories:

• cereal / oats (0 nutrients)
• pasta (0 nutrients)
• protein powder (0 nutrients)
• bread (0 nutrients)
• chocolates (0 nutrient)

all of which, are completely nutritionally empty. They consume that daily.

They do consume some nutritious foods, like chicken etc. But remove all the “fluff” and empty calories from their diet, and your basically left with ~1200 calories of foods with actual nutrients (if they hit their daily protein intake, not from protein powder)

They can consume 2500 calories daily, with less, or at most, the same nutrition than 1200 calories of nutrient dense foods.

Example:
Say I added 400g of rice to my 1200 calorie diet. I would be at roughly 1700-1800 which is a generally acceptable amount to cut at. What have you gained? Absolutely fuck all. 0 nutritional benefit, you’ve just decreased your deficit by 500/600 calories for absolutely no gain. Congratulations. That’s a whole entire day of deficit on standard “subtract 500 from your maintenance” diet.

If you eat properly, there isn’t anything wrong nutritionally with 1200 calories (for a short period like a month) if you’re trying to leanmax quickly.

TLDR: 500 calorie deficit my ass. Remove the fluff and empty calories, eat with high nutrient density, get the essential fats and proteins, and leanmax quickly so you can end your misery (of being in a deficit and being fat).

More cardio+ more you can eat don’t starve yourself there’s ways to eat a shit ton and even be in a slight calories surplus and still lose fat and drop weight
