Sounds weird but i'm so confused right now thinking of restricting and get the '' underweight body'' and on the other hand I' m scared of cutting my calorie intake and lost all the muscles that i've achieve. Am I the only one who feel this shit?

I feel this very deeply! I feel the same way.

Same   

I'm going to give my gym's bodytracker another go, and see if I am going the right way with my high restriction and training: if I am losing fat and retaining muscle. Not sure how trustworthy that thing is though....

God I thought I was so stupid for thinking this way! I want to hit my GW (100lbs) but I also want abs and a booty, so I joined a gym started lifting. My cal intake varies, but I max out at the most I’ve seen 1,000. I still struggle with the urge to restrict, I know I shouldn’t, but I just can’t seem to stay away

I'm a personal trainer. I restrict and to keep muscle just make sure you work the muscle groups you want to keep. This cues your muscles into growth mode and therefore you wont lose muscle!

Thank you!

I have this too, thought I was the only one. On one hand I feel like eating less than 1000kcal a day but on the other hand I want to eat more to gain muscle. Whatever I do, it never feels right...

I keep telling myself after I get to my UGW I'll lean bulk up to BMI 20.5 and then cut back down to 18.5 and maintain

Lovely to see so many inclined to bodybuilding

Ugh This is me right now!!!

[Falling_leaves]

This. Is. ME. I love weight lifting. BUT... I often have to force myself to eat my post workout meal and enough to hit my macros for the day. I’m usually around 1000-1200 calories unless I get triggered

And I’m definitely not building as much muscle as I want. But I’m trying this body recomposition thing, because I REFUSE to eat above maintenance. I’m too scared to bulk/cut. I would rather maingain. Maybe in a few months I’m where I want

the other day i was simultaneously thrilled that an old pair of (expensive) leggings from a lower weight fit me and furious that my ass doesn't fill them out anymore.  i've been focusing on running more than weights because i have an injury that heavy lifting seems to aggravate a lot but i think it might be weighted squats time once again.
