A month and a half of eating only about 1500 cals. While working out will eat muscle for sure.
Ok for Example, if you cal intake to maintain is 2000 without working out. So, you are now going to take this down to 1500 cals. that's 1000 calories a day less. A pound of fat is equal to 3500 cals. roughly. So that means that on a maintain diet without working out you eat 14000 cals a week to maintain your weight. now you’re going to cut out 7000 cals a week out of your diet. which is roughly 2 lbs. of fat.
Now I know your going to go to the gym and workout. so if you work out and do cardio that puts the multiplier at 1.6, roughly. so you would need in a day 200cals X 1.6=3200 cals to maintain and not bulk or cut. so in a week you should be eating 3200 cals. X 7days=22400 cals. just to stay at the weight you’re at with the workout your doing. now you’re going to tell me that doing your workout and only taking in 10500 cals a week your not going to loose muscle? you’re eating 1700 cals less which in a week will equivocate to 3.4lbs of fat a week loss in a perfect world. that much in a week is not good and will result in muscle and fat loss.
How long are you going to be in the court room a day and between breaks. If you can eat during a break you can down some Casein shakes with E.V. Olive oil.
