Stats:
Age 28
Weight: 200#
BF%: 18% to 20% (Not too sure but will get is checked within the next few days)
I have gained both muscle mass and bf over the past year and a half. This wil be my first cutting cycle. My goal is to keep as much muscle mass as possible, continue to gain lean muscle mass and drop bf% down to about 12-15% before i start bulking. I am currently off cycle. I plan to start my next cycle as soon as i reach my goal of 12% - 15% bf. My main concern is that i will loose my muscle mass and reach my goal but look skinny. I want to keep my bulky look but with low bf%. Please help me out guys and help and comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. This is what i have planned for my cutting diet:
