Need to get BF% DOWN, any help?

Have you checked out the cutting 101 sticky?

haha I have, but just re-read it and did some math after I read it

BMR - 220Lbs is 2235.8
TDEE is 3465.5 for off days and 3856.8 for workout days

From the calories I listed it looks like it is about a 47/22/31

If cutting would you rather have a higher fat% or carb%?

i wonder this number too, ive been dieting the past two weeks and dropped ten pounds already, been eating around 1800 calories, about 100g carbs. 150g protein, and 65g of fat, rough estimate, but i have cut the fat down recently and have seen the weight drop faster this way, so in my experience i would keep carbs and fats low

Some people respond better to higher fat diets... i'm not one of them. Personally, I don't like my fat over 20% of total calories, and ideally it'll be at 15%. 30% fat is way high IMO.

215 @ let's say 20% bodyfat... i'd put your TDEE at roughly 2500 calories. I don't like the formulas at all (yes I know I reference them in my sticky... let's just say I wasn't given a choice) - in my experience, they almost ALWAYS tend to come out high due to the activity multiplier being far too subjective... i.e. what I consider 'moderately active' and what you/others do could be worlds apart.

Agreed about keeping carbs AND fats relatively low. Having said that, you're numbers above appear to be out of whack in relation to each other.

There must be something I am not adding up in my diet to get that high of a percentage for fat though.
