these are the figures for your maintenance cals for the day(thanks 405 lol) based on the percentages you gave. 2700 being the median of 20%bf....its best to be accurate as possible with bf....if u wanted to cut I would say start at about 300-500 under maintenance and adjust as needed....since u dont kno ur exact % I would base it of the median

Thanks! I guess i was way off! My question is should i just stick to the 500+ deficit every day or should i stay at maintenance on the days that i lift? I can easily cut carbs and some protein to get to around 2k each day. Its just that when i lift I am thinking i burn a good amount of calories as i am usually doing pretty intense workouts so would that also count towards my deficit? I want to cut but also dont want to put my body in too much of a deficit where it actually hinders my goals...
