Pics inside.. need calorie recommendation

[bostonball]

Hey guys.. really just curious what you think, by my pics in the link, what I need to aim for in terms of calories. I havent tested bf% with calipers or anything recently.

Once I figure out what I should aim for in terms of calories i'll model my diet off the cutting diet sticky here and post it up.

Thanks

Your body fat percentage is too high to get an accurate caliper reading. They start getting progressively more inaccurate once you start going over mid teens in BF. In addition to diet you are more than likely going to need to do quite a bit of cardio to burn away your stored bodyfat. How much cardio you are willing to do will go a long ways in determining the amount of calories you should be taking in. Also, how many calories are you currently eating? Making drastic changes up or down all at once is usually not a good idea either.

Currently eating about 2.5k cal per day, but i'm doing shorter cardio sessions. Seems to be big to do fasted cardio in the AM for about 45 minutes around here every day. If I could drop the calories to about 2300 and do this kind of cardio every day, do you think i'd be headed in the right direction?
