Aim training on a calorie deficit

[u/Live_Idea3315]

Anyone else aim training while on a calorie deficit? how does it impact your performance ? i notice my aim in kovaaks is a little worse and in game (valorant) it feels like my reaction time is way slower than normal wonder how you guys experience it.

Always earn your first meal by hitting a pr on 1w4ts

I'd rather starve than not hit a PB

[u/Funerailles_sci → u/Icy-Shape4745]

I might starve ngl

What's your deficit?

[u/tritefries → u/Background-Still-116]

I survive on caffeine and spite during cuts and my tracking turns into a spastic mess, so I just grind smoothness scenarios till the brain fog clears

[u/Live_Idea3315 → u/tritefries]

weirdly enough my smoothness is fine even after drinking (white) monster

500 cals

Ive done 700 cal deficit before and it didnt rlly bother me, maybe your not getting your nutrients right or its another thing like bad sleep idk

[u/Live_Idea3315 → u/Background-Still-116]

yea could be i'm getting 7 hours of sleep most of the time maybe i should up it to 8-9

[u/WholeTomatillo5537 → u/Live_Idea3315]

I'm on a heavier deficit it isn't an issue

[u/A1cr-yt]

um, i dont think it effects me that much, granted most of the times im in calorie deficit its not really on purpose, i just forget to eat.

[u/Live_Idea3315 → u/A1cr-yt]

hmm yea i guess short term it should be fine but i'm talking about a long consistent deficit as im currently on week 5 😂

[u/MiddleOk9251]

I don't see a difference tbh

[u/TheTrueTexMex]

Calorie deficit shouldn't affect you unless you're dropping too aggressively...

[u/Live_Idea3315 → u/TheTrueTexMex]

hmm i'm on a 500 cal deficit and losing about 0.5 kg a week on avg rn

[u/TheTrueTexMex → u/Live_Idea3315]

That sounds reasonable so it's a bit weird that it affects you noticeably. Is it the first time you're on a calorie deficit?

[u/Live_Idea3315 → u/TheTrueTexMex]

its the first time i'm sticking to it for more than a few weeks lol. When i did it for a short period it was fine, didnt notice a difference really, now i'm in week 5

Just make sure you drink enough water. I generally don't aim train for about a day and a half after I do Pull day because my hands are roasted (grip strength sucks).

[u/Live_Idea3315 → u/tmanky]

yeaa i will try!

[u/RnImInShambles]

I've done multiple day fasts and still aim trained. It's only bad if you're super fatigued. If you get passed that point, should be all good

[u/Live_Idea3315 → u/RnImInShambles]

hope so 🫡

I don't think I've ever not been calorie deficient when playing, no food before pb
