I have 14 yo mtn friend slaying high htbs every weekend. Apparently it bc of his body (he has actually good body with crazy muscles)
He is telling me to cut but idk. Apparently I should go from 2k to 1,5-1k cals per day. Will it affect my growth or hormones as 14 yo?
 
yes i'm so glad i was bulking in the gym in my 14-16 years i grew from like 5'8 to 6'3. I ate 6 meals a day mainly meat and carbs

dont listen to ur friend a deficit at ur age does no good for growth, if high cals you wont really get overweight either since its that hyper development stage

You can cut down weight while eating a good amount of protein and all those nutrients that make you grow. You will produce more estrogen if you have a lot of bodyfat thats what closes your growth plates
