Thread: Cutting specifics

Trial and error, whatever gives you an average of say 1-1.5lb weightloss / week.

What Gordo said is true, there is no substitute for trial and error. You need to learn to guage your own strength and energy levels an monitor your progress and adjust accordingly. Adjust, that is, according to your goals. If you are watching what you eat and are training properly and are making at least a half-hearted attempt to monitor your calories you are probably on your way to a better level of health and a better physique.

yeah you should eat maintanance - 500 + the 300 that yo burn .. that will give you an average loss 3500 cals per week wich is nearly 1 lb .....if you want for example to increase your defict then maintanance-500-300that you burned ...2000-800 ..... then you are eating 800 calorie under your maintanance .....finally you must keep track of your progress..your maintanance may increase and your metabolism speed up ..or vice versa due to dieting your maintanance may decrease and your metabolism slows down.... so you must try untill you set up the equation that fits your goals..
