    Info for MMA cutting diet?

    Ok I have a good idea of what to eat, But before I go and make a log I would like a layout of what I should aim for. (Protein/Fat/Carb/Cals)?

    196lb
    5'9
    15% - 18% BF

    Looking to get cut at 175LB?

    find out your TDEE, just type it into google and you will find a calculator that will tell you what it is depending on your height and weight and activity level

    for cutting i would start with 45%P/35%C/20%F

    then start with a 300-500kcal deficit and make adjustments as you go.

    you may want to narrow down your BF% for a better TDEE estimate, but it isnt crucial as once you start your diet you will find out after a week or so if your eating too little or too much

    My TDEE is 3039?

    So I just I would want 3500cal to start, AND since I would be getting into hardcore circuit train pretty soon I may need to fix my diet then.

    But for now I am going to get a diet togather and start from here, I hate doing this.

    if your tdee is 3039 and your trying to cut you want to go under that not over to 3500
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    Ok I knew it was something like that, but it been some time since I last try to diet. Thanks!

    I will have to put a diet up and get it checked out, it just sucks. It almost like doing homework....
