I suspect this topic has been discussed many times in the past, but what calorie deficit diet works best for you personally when preparing for a competition or while being shredded?
-
If you want to lose fat, get lean but be flat, go low carb. Many health benefits with low carb.
If you want to feel full, build muscle but eat bland and struggle with hunger pangs, then go low fat. Problem with carbs is they aren't satiating and cause cravings that will cause you to spill over.

Mediterranean diet ..lean & strength
Simple as that
-
Eat what the fuck you want, exercise hard, remain at 18% BF and make a thread complaining about it every once in a while.

Here's my macro breakdown to go from 9% to 6% in 4-5 weeks
Protein: 95 g → 380 kcal
Fat: 54 g → 486 kcal
Carbs: 113 + 25 = 138 g → 552 kcal
Total Calories ≈ 1,418 kcal
---
Updated Percentages
Protein: 380 ÷ 1,418 ≈ 27%
Fat: 486 ÷ 1,418 ≈ 34%
Carbs: 552 ÷ 1,418 ≈ 39%
-
essential amino acids, essential fats
No such thing as an essential carb
You can live totally free of carbs

I already know that a low-carb diet works best for me when I'm cutting. I was curious about other people's preferred approach. I know some people can't imagine training with low carbs and follow Chris Aceto's advice.

There was a gentleman on this forum once named Disgusting. For example, he prepared King Kamali for competitions. He claimed that he told all his clients to eat low-carb or zero-carb, and they all achieved the best results of their lives.

If you manage a week 10 days then you will be fine, its hard not having carbs for the initial period
