So LBM is probably around 180lbs.

That being said, I had a DEXA scan not too long ago and should have the results next week, along with full blood work.

You probably deal more with getting guys from 15 down to 10 and 10 down to 6% BF and I understand that is probably more in depth however in my case, and as a starter, if I can effectively cut to around 15% without compromising lean mass, I'm happy.

What do you reckon?

Cheers bud,
Mike
I reckon that you need to eat a solid ~2500 calorie diet for a few weeks using a 40/40/20 protein/carb/fat split. You should start to see a reduction in body fat in that time.

Keep training intensity high. 1. so you can keep and grow your lean body mass. 2. if you start to lose strength during that 3 weeks you can add in a few hundred calories so we dont reduce your LBM.

Cutting and bulking are a slow and steady process, but guys say its "hard" only when their diet isnt on point. YOU CAN DO IT!

Write down your goal. And write down steps to achieving that goal. Then DO THOSE THINGS!



What are your 4 favorite protein sources, your 4 favorite carbohydrate sources, and your favorite fat sources?

We can create a diet with those.
