Lifters - how do you properly maintain a cut with the hours?

Maybe I'm weak but I can't properly do a cut. The lack of food messes with me mentally during late nights and I just feel starving during the day. My weights have gone down and I just feel weak. 

I'm working about 90 hours or so right now.

Get one of those desk treadmills to assert dominance so everyone knows you're a fitness hardo...then you'll get the extra energy from the ego boost

but seriously why does it seem like every week there's some post about lifter dudes complaining about how they can't exercise 4 hours a day

And OP how tf is this forum supposed to make you feel less hungry and stronger?? it's not like there's some magical life hack that can enable you to work 90 hours and look like patrick bateman
