How does my cutting diet look?

[Hyperflux]

First, here's some stats about me:
Age 20, 180lbs @ 16-17% bodyfat, cutting at 10% deficit, training for strength (current routine is the Texas Method with 40% reduced volume due to cut)
Supplements: orange triad multi, oximega fish oil, creatine, protein powder when I need it, and Alphamine (thermogenic)

Thoughts on diet and macros? Seems to be working fine so far, losing 1lb/week. I want to reach 10-12%bf.

Up protein to 180 and fat to 70

Macronutrient Intake

Protein: ~0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the highest amount justified by research.

Fat: ~0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the lowest amount implied by clinical observation.

Remaining caloric budget: whatever mix of macronutrients you prefer -- as implied by research.

I noticed that you sometimes say "per pound of target weight" and now you say "per pound of bodyweight". When do you make the difference?

Diet is fine. Focus on your numbers, hit your micros with some fruits and veggies and monitor progress.

Your dropping the weight your lifting? Keep lifting heavy (within reason) to preserve as much lean body mass as you can.

I love you. I was hoping that someone would spoon feed me as I'm too lazy to read the literature and stickies. Looks like I need to up the fat, looks like I can get some garlic sauce in my shawarma sandwiches hnnnngggg

Oh one more thing, are these macro guidelines the same for someone bulking?

I do not want to answer for Pug, but perhaps when people are a bit overweight vs people are within the average weight range.

^ that's what I speculated too. Would like to hear it from Wonderpug.

Basically yes. Although on a calorie surplus it's more likely less protein would already be sufficient (0.6).
