Yo fam forgot to put the macros but tbh imo it’s silly when people do this. My macros are different than your however roughly this is what I consumed (keep in mind currently I’m loosely tracking macros and I talked about this on the other dieting video however from years of experience these estimations are within 5% easy) My total macros are dynamic but on this day ended with 300p 415c 85f Calories: 3625 give or take based on fiber (fiber has various calorie allotments) I started the diet much higher calories and currently cycle them. This is a very large deficit day for me, around a 750kcal deficit from food manipulation alone. In the off-season I eat upward of 5,000 kcals If you guys want help with nutrition hit us up!

First of all, thanks a lot for great informative video. Second of all, your diet food choices are tasty AF, I love loading on fruits and veggies too while tracking macros. Finally, agree 100% with high step count. Only thing I haven't tried YET is completely eliminating sweeteners like diet soda and all. I really enjoy them but who knows I might benefit from removing them too !
It’s been a game changer for me however I have a really strong appetite. I’d say for more controlled eaters probably won’t be night and day! But man it’s just made this cut way easier.
@@BrendanTietz Always appreciate the replies Brendan. I also have a ridiculous appetite which is why i like having diet soda between a meal or during a meal for extra bloat + stacked veggies Lol
Would LOVE to see a video on your diet when bulking and how much changes you make. My issue when bulking is getting a lot of micros in because I’m trying to hit 600g of carbs aswell. Would love to hear how you go about bulking at 5000cals.. And your thoughts on PERI-nutrition ?? (Is it worth optimising this, or just prioritising total micro/macros)
I can def make this video! And I have hella tips for this, more than cutting tbh. It’s just the cutting diet videos get more love lol but I’ll get on this!
@@BrendanTietz I mentioned it because there's a lot of overlap with what you said recently (micros>macros, spot reduction of fat, high protein intake etc). This is a good start: www.taeian.com/why-iifym-dieting-sucks/ There's a facebook group as well you can search for 'Bodybuilding Camel Cult' (lol)
Great video-on the point you made on protein intake (~3g/kg) during a cut, do you dial that back down when you’re at maintenance/surplus and muscle/strength retention is less of a concern, or is your protein held relatively consistent during those phases?
Hey Brendan, what are your thoughts on Mixed Grip deadlifts and muscular imbalances caused by it? Could it be mitigated? Or is it an inevitable part of the process?
Not much of a concern however if I have someone from scratch I have them rotate the grip but after a few years of training this is borderline impossible to achieve and not worth the fuss. I have no major or noticeable imbalances other than a slightly annoying QL from time to time on supinated side. It’s exaggerated how dangerous or bad it is
Gahhh rushed and forgot to put it. But breakfast is 67p 90c 25f My total macros are dynamic but on this day ended with 300p 415c 85f Calories: 3625 give or take based on fiber (fiber has various calorie allotments)
I honestly just never link them because half the time I can’t find the full access papers which I have and also especially ones like this very few people will understand. This one uses some complex mathematics with calculated regressions equations etc here is the study tho pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7932947/
Also it’s worth noting in my own detailed macronutrient and bodyweight journals over the years I have seen this transpire and showed it in a video. My energy expenditure via daily activity decreased heavily through the years and yet metabolism skyrocketed, it was from strength gains and I showed this in a video
More power to him whatever he's doing is working for him but I don't know how you can call it a diet when you got like 400 something carbs at the end of the day again it's working for him but most people can get away with that
I never once intended for this to be a goal for others to reach with macro targets. At this point I think it’s rather common knowledge that your macros and calories have to be set to you. The tips I’m providing were the key informative take aways!

You’re welcome tony!
Really good video I wish when we were around each other that you knew all of this you could’ve taught me a lot keep up the good work
Dude I know, who knew I’d end up getting obsessed with lifting! We’ll meet up soon and I can help!
Loved the video i took away some pointers
Hell yes!! Appreciate the comment!
@@BrendanTietz supporting one of my favorite channels👊
The most clear and educative fitness video ever!
Thank you Armando!!
Biggest thing for me during my cut is just replacing bench volume with other stuff - I have long ass arms so all that volume jacks me up.
Yeah right now only doing 8-10 sets of bench work five or take an ascending set. Usually I’d opt for 12-15 minimum
I only got two words ELITE NUNACEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MY MAN!!! ❤️💪🏼
Am addicted to your videos you are awesome 👌
Hahahaha thank you fam! You’re becoming my biggest sub hahaha love it
Awesome video Brendan
Your diet plan is very similar to how Mind Pump fitness approach fitness lifestyle in general. It Would be nice to see you on their podcast.
Maybe I’ll hit them up! Ironically I debated them a bit on their take with macros but I think we’re more or less on the same page.

Throw some kale or spinach in your morning drink!
Great stuff Brendan. Are you familiar with the Came diet model?
No what exactly is it? I’ll look it up later

Hey Brendan, do you think that by using the hook grip I could fix muscle imbalances possibly caused by the mixed grip deadlift?
I also get everything I eat from Trader Joe's. Best grocery store.
Brah so cheap and decent quality! Walmart wins on prices but fuckkkk that quality lol
Great video-on the point you made on protein intake (~3g/kg) during a cut, do you dial that back down when you’re at maintenance/surplus and muscle/strength retention is less of a concern, or is your protein held relatively consistent during those phases?
Definitely dial it back! I’d say 2.2-2.6g per kg is plenty!

2:50 Where are the macros?
Gahhh rushed and forgot to put it. But breakfast is

415c

Do you have the study to show increases in strength causes linearly more expenditure?
I honestly just never link them because half the time I can’t find the full access papers which I have and also especially ones like this very few people will understand. This one uses some complex mathematics with calculated regressions equations etc here is the study tho

@@BrendanTietz thank you very much. I'm interested to know if one should pursue powerlifting for the metabolism increase
I wouldn’t say powerlifting however strength gains DEFINITELY! It also provides a ton of help with the pragmatics towards gaining muscle!
