Diet Question

[rjl3wis]

hey guys, i was curious about some stuff about cutting

Im 6"2, 225lbs and 20-22% bodyfat. I figured out my BMR to be around 2254 and based on my current activity my TDEE is 3100.

For cutting purposes, should i eat be eating less that my bmr or less than my tdee.

I always start at bw*15 and adjust from there i think thats a sweet spot to start for most

so say 225 x 15 = 3375 so say i wanted to cut... would a 500 deficit be good enough? so say shoot for 2875 cals?

Yes that would be my first two weeks. Then adjust. If u drop 2 lbs a week wait. At your bodyfat i would cut if i did not drop 2 lbs. Cut 10% a week. At 15% + i would go pretty low on carb and higher on fat

If your in a hurry u can start with a 700-1000 defecit as long as u are 18%+
