Proper Eating and Cutting Plan Help

[Bigbus]

Hey Bros my stats are:

24 years old
5'8''
217lbs
ectomorph body type
b/f = 35% est. I have a weight watchers scale that gives me this number. I will also post a pic for a second opinion.

so just some basic math

217lbs x .35 = 75.95 lbs of body fat
217 = 76 = 141 lbs of fat free mass

using the caloric needs calculator from active.com my maintenance calories end up being 2648 daily.

Now I am confused if this caluclation is correct for eating for LBM ? I want to cut body fat and not lose muscle.

I'm in the process of recovering from a motorcycle acident in which I broke my neck and was layed up for awhile. So I would like to base my cutting plan around dropping body fat without weights, just solely diet and cardio.

I have recently tried heading back to the gym with my brother but diddnt feel I should push it just yet with the weights.


So I just wanted to see if I calculated everything correctly and then im gonna post back with a meal plan and hopefully some bros like Nark or Novastep can comment.



thanks !
