Is this your maintenance amount?

I would cut down by 10% per week.

That's kind of harsh if you are talking about 10% from food alone. I would never suggest such a severe amount from food. Talk about killing your endocrine system.

 

[pengers84]

well what would you suggest?

200 cal deficit from maintenance plus reduction of calories due to exercise.
