Bump.

Can I ask why you are using maintenance calories to cut?

[E-T-R]

Just as a starting point. And I will adjust from there. I feel going any lower will be too low... I think its always a good place to start.

But I did put it up as I'm open to help and suggestions. I plan starting this tomorrow so want to get it sorted.

Well, for those cals your macro's look good. I'd sub the pre WO whey for a real protein source though.

I used very similar cals and macros to cut to 170 at sub10%. If you diet has been way off you'll get some results from this but you will need to adjust down as you go along. Your lbm is low so I suspect you'll need to drop 500cals to get anywhere near 10%.

How about swapping meal 4 and 5??
I read maintenance is a good place to start. If and when I hit a week I lose less than 1lb I will cut cals further.

What you think? Are food choices ok?

I'm relatively new to this. In and out of gym the last 6 months and never dieted before just been reading up the last week or so...

[E-T-R]

Think Ill run with that diet swapping meal 4 and 5 and see how it goes...

Unless someone has any changes that should be made.
If not ill start getting my log ready to go

Those 2 meals are better swapped over. But I would sub 1 scoop of whey for a scoop of casein.

[E-T-R]

Meals are swapped...

PWO Shake is now 1 scoop whey and 1 scoop casein.

Stem do you think its a good place to start regarding cals and macros etc....
