Calorie Deficit Diet

[Jon T]

Hello All. I am preparing to run a calorie deficit diet. I put my BMR at approx 2300cal/day. So I am going to try 1500/cal per day (with a little wiggle room for additional calories because I will need it) and shoot for at least 500/day deficit. I was hoping for some critique. My job has odd hours, so I can stick to a set training schedule. So below is my breakdown depending on the day. Let me know your thoughts.


Daily Caloric Intake (1500 Calories per day)
Protein: 200g/day (800 calories)
Carbohydrates: 100g/day (400 calories)
Fats: 35g/day (315 calories)
