  1. 2100 calories for a 189 cm man is not nearly enough! Even if you're cutting, you should probably be eating more than that... I was losing weight rapidly on a 2100 cal diet, and i'm 175 cm, 67 kg... remember that your caloric expenditure increases as you get more muscular, and if you're also doing a lot of cardio it can really add up..
  2. Hey, thanks for replying My TDEE was supposedly 2100-2200 when I started working out (counting in the exercise). Anyway, I am sleeping a lot less recently thanks to my 7.5 months-old daughter I knew that under-sleeping effects muscle synthesis, but it never occurred to me that it also changes caloric expenditure. That may explain a lot! I'm already eating 6 times a day, guess I will just have to add some peanut butter/tahini to each of them and try not to throw up by the end of the day...
  3. I've been training pretty intensely for 6 about months now (4-5 days strength training, 2 days cardio), starting shortly after I switched from a vegetarianism to veganism. I also avoid processed foods as much as possible, including oil and bread. In the first 3-4 months I was losing fat and gaining muscle very quickly as part of an intentional 'cutting' phase. When my body fat percentage dropped to about 10%, I began to gradually increase my calories. However, I'm finding that it takes more and more food to maintain my current weight, not to mention any kind of weight gain. I really don't want to give up running, and I certainly don't want to start eating junk. I'm currently at about 3000 cal per day, and my original BMR (calculated based on my previous BFP) was around 1900 cal. Any ideas, other than eating peanut butter with a spoon?
