1500 Calories

[DonCorleone562]

First of all my stats.

6' 255lbs 16%bf
Currently on a cycle of test/deca...week 6. Planning on going for 12 weeks. I started this cycle as a bulker, now I want to cut down bf%. I started the cycle at 15%bf and now up to 16%bf...didnt eat as clean as I would have liked to. I've gained 10lbs in the first 6 weeks. I consume 3500-4000 calories per day during this bulking period.

Ok, I would like to cut down and maybe reach 12%bf by 6 weeks. 16% to 12% body fat is approximately 10lbs of fat. However I do not want to lose muscle. I will keep weight training the same, yet add 3 days of cardio of 30minute session. Is 1,500 calories/day enough to keep my muscle mass? Or will I be burning muscle too with that low of an intake?

Thanks

u trying to totally waste your gear and die for malnutirion?

exactly what i was thinking...

maybe u should invest some $ into some books instead of gear to protect your liver =x

but honestly bro, ur way too low to be on cycle, get about 2500-3000 CLEAN CALS

I"m 5'7" and usually cut from about 155 lb to 140-ish for competition on 17-1800 cals. W/ gear you will be preserving muscle anyway. But if you just flat out dont' eat enough, your body will consume what it has available - i.e. muscle. Further, if you starve your body, your metabolism will slow down and you won't be burning efficiently anyway. Better to fuel exactly w/ what you need, increase your cardio a little and just let it run. I'd suggest a carb cycle to help you cut efficiently but w/o burning muscle.
