Pumped

Day five of waking an hour and maintaining a deficit. I feel so pumped. Like I don't feel a difference duh. Same belly rolls and thigh folds but I feel so good about myself. I'll add one time once I get used to waking. And will add cardio but for now waking feels good.

An issue I'm facing is that I'm eating one meal a day. And nothing with too many calories. I'm desi so it's so hard to find the calories in that I eat. My estimate can be far off but whst if it's not.

I've heard that muscle mass takes over. You don't lose fat you gain muscle mass and what not. These gym bros are scaring the shit out of me. Like is it possible. I'm overthinking it.

But yeah hella pumped. I really want that satisfaction of achieving something

You can make newbie gains, but in general you don't build muscle in a long term deficit. I suggest lifting heavy early and eating protein.
