So this kid i work with needs to loose weight. my ass is sorta on the line if he doesn't drop about 7lbs by the 13th.
he's 28.3 percent body fat and he weighs 172 lbs. he's 25, 5'5" and caucasian. right now i have him between 1500 and 1600 calories. based on his body fat his BMR comes in right around 1500 calories. i need a hand with this kid because this is nothing like me and i'm basing what i'm doing off myself. he is only the second person i have helped and the first one gave up. he has stopped loosing weight, and he wants to. i hesitate to bring him below 1500 calories, but it makes sense to do so right? i was thinking about taking him lower, but giving him (1) cheat meal during the week. whatever he wants in one sitting. is it the right time to give him cheat meals? they always helped me reset, but i've never had to drop below 1500 calories. grown men are not supposed to consume less than that right? the thing is this kid is 5'5 and he doesnt look super fat. he's got enourmous love handles for his size though. seems like all of his weight is there not that it matters where it is.
his macro break out is like so
40% protein (128g)
40% carbs (120g)
20% fat (33g)
