Cutting on test p, calorie question

[Whiteboyy0]

My maintenance is about 3500 cals. I'm 6'5 and 230 lbs around 15% body fat. I'm going to do a 10 week cut for my first cycle of prop 150 mg eod with hcg and of course ai an pct. my question is how low can I drop my calories below my maintenance and still preserve muscle? I usually go a 500 cal deficit per day

Why do you think you need steroids for this cut?

I'm asking for nutritional advice Austinite

Well, you also mentioned you're cutting with 150mg of prop which would stave off muscle waste, so I have no idea what you're asking.

My question in the op was how much farther below maintenance I can go while cutting on test vs natural. I always stick with a 500 cal deficit, is something like 750 or 1k below maintenance going overboard? I'm hoping to make this a faster cut while preserving as much muscle as possible
