cutting......how many calories?

[featherz]

I'm 5'4/125/18% and 1500 is a cut for me. I maintain at 2100-2200 and I'm HUNGRY if I drop to 1500. I doubt I could get out of bed at 1200. And no, I'm not genetically gifted - my entire family has a disposition to chubby, including me.

I wouldn't advise you drop any lower if you hit a plateau - maybe actually up the calories for a week or two, then drop back down.

well.........you are at 12x bodyweight which is what I recommend.

I think as i get older its getting worse ....I'll be 25 this year.

Don't fall back on the myth that getting older means getting fatter.

I am 31. I got into the best shape of my life AFTER I turned 30.

I generally wear a 2 in jeans. Waist is 24, hips 32.5 if that helps. When I started last year I was 168lbs, 28% BF.


And I'm 37, not a spring chicken.
