Cutting Question for a Woman

[Corpsman]

My wife is...

Ht- 5'3" (160.02cm)
Wt- 118lbs (53.63kg)
Age- 41
BMR- 1265.17
TDEE- 1518.2 (Sedentary) 1961.01 (Moderate)

When I calculated my cutting diet I reduced by 500 calories. My wife would like to get down to 112lbs but a 500 calorie a day cut with her numbers seems too extreme.

Her 40/40/20 Split would look like this:

Training Days: Calories 1961 Protein 196g Carb 196g Fat 43.57g

Non-training Days: Calories 1518 Protein 151.8g Carb 151.8g Fat 33.73g


What would be suggested numbers to cut to?

suggest cut fat! her TDEE seem high even for sedendary. her stats look good...I would love to be 118 lbs..she must look amazing NOW!

Also- Those carb numbers are way too high for a 118 lb woman cutting. When I'm cutting for a show the last few weeks I cycle carbs down to 100g per day for 4 days at a time- and I weigh 230lbs
