if one can stand through it, 1500cals.
its terrible, but works.
What about metabolic damage? And how many calories do you take after that, how fast do you increase your caloric intake?
By the way, 1500kcal is just not only protein, how many fats and carbs?
If my goal would be get lean and stay strong, like 10% bf, how many carbs on training days would you take?
By the way, you've mentioned that you were strongest while beaning most lean coz of drugs - were you starving and still getting stronger? Did you take a lot of tren?
That's the only drug that would make it possible, at least for me.
