Supplements I take are; whey, vitamins C, D, E, zinc, and digestive enzymes.
Meal 5 is eaten about 1 hour before going to bed.
My BMR is around 3000. From my experience, 2000 calories a day is the "sweet spot" for a steady fat loss of 1-2lb per week while maintaining size and strength.
that would make sense as 3500cal=1lb of pure fat, so a 1000cal deficit would be 2lbs a week assuming all energy is obtained from fat, though that's not the case, but that's what cardio is for
I have 11g of carbs for breakfast because I feel that it's sufficient for me. I prefer having more fats over carbohydrates.
I went from 260 to 200 a few years ago with a similar diet without any significant strength loss so I know it works well for me.
The aspects mentioned in the video are what I apply to a bulking diet, not a cutting one, especially when trying to cut at and already low body fat percentage.
