    Please help with cutting diet. Diet and Macros included.

    So my goal is to do a body building show in October right now I’m a long way away from that but I am willing to work as much as it takes and as hard as it requires to get to that goal. Along the way I would appreciate as much help, as people who have knowledge are willing to give me. I have been lifting for around eight years now and I am finally doing it right. I never used to have my diet in check or do cardio. Here are some stats on my current state any more info that is required just let me know. I would really like to stay heavyweight I don't ever want to weigh under 220 pounds just a personal thing, but I wouldn't mind weighing in at 220-260 with a low bf%. I know I need to drop a lot of bf though so heres my info as of today.

    Age 24
    Height 6’ 1”
    Weight roughly 250 Pounds.
    23-25% BF Is my best guess. Possibly going to get a dexascan soon.

    Meal 4 – same as meal 3 with extra oats/Vitargo to make it. Sometimes I only do a scoop or two of protein and eat tilapia and a sweet potato Post workout just so I have real food.

    Cals 606 – Carbs 80-90g – Protien 74g – Fats 10g

    Meal 5 – 7oz Turkey Breast, Rice cake with almond butter or organic peanut butter, 1 cups green beans

    I eat a 6th meal but it fluctuates between top/bottom round steak and 95% lean beef hamburger and getting the actual macros down have been a pain.

    Help on any part of this diet would be greatly appreciated especially the last meal of the day.
    Thanks in advance to all who help.

    where did u get 3750cals for maintenance??

    250lb at 25%bf puts ur BMR at 2207cals
    tdee at 3420 with 1.55 multiplier

    thats also usually a high estimate...

    IMO if u wanna cut fat u need to be closer to 2500-2600cals/day

    i think if u run those numbers u currently have ur gonna gain more fat...i startd at 213lbs and 22% and cut with 100g carbs/day.. ur suggesting 270.. seems way too high..

    2600 at 40/40/20 is 260/260/58

    personally if i were u id feel better cutting at 360/160/58..

    I got the numbers from calculating my TDEE and BMR I wasn't sure how accurate that was though. I also could have done my math wrong I'm horrible with numbers, but I did check it twice.

    The numbers you suggest seem to make a bit more sense. I think I might have input the carbs wrong and then ran with it because my protein and fat level is close to what you have down.

    I will reevaluate it again to see where I went wrong with my math.

    Any suggestions on anything as far as the diet looks? Are the foods good for the most part? This is my second attempt at creating a diet so I'll go back to the drawing board again with it if need be.
    Thanks.

    250 x .25 = 62.5(lbs fat)
    250 - 62.5 = 187.5(lbs lbm)
    187.5 x .4536 = 85.05 kg lbm
    (85.05 x 21.6) + 370 = 2207BMR
    2207 x 1.55(5day/week multiplier) = 3420tdee

    id go 800 - 900 under that for a cut(what im having good results with) = 2500-2600cals..
