I couldn't locate anything in search, so forgive me if this is repetitive - I believe this to be related to the Reta - please don't shame me if I am in the wrong thread 🙂

I'm on my second week, will have 3rd pin tomorrow. As such been trying to be more consistent in the gym. While I am hydrating with both water and electrolyte products that carried me through multiple Ironman events - propel, liquid IV, Precision Hydration type products. I am experiencing localized abdominal cramps when I try to do any kind of crucnch/situp - 4 reps and I'm so locked up that I can't even stand. But this is not happening anywhere else.

I am in a deficit Averaging 1582 calories a day, honestly targeting 2200/day - but struggling to hit the total target - I am generally hitting Protein at a high level, Fat - remaining under and Carbs I am usually way under.

5' 10" M - 236lbs

Macros Targets-
235g Carbs -
60g Fat -
180 Protein -

My overall goal is not just weight loss, but a solid re-comp as well. any help on the cramping issue?
