I saw this brought up a few times on this forum but forgot where - there was a percentage (75-90%) of weight lost as fat on a cut, provided adequate protein intake and a lifting routine accompanying the cut. Does anyone have the original article/thread regarding this? I tried searching around but to no luck.

Tough to say as everyone's different but I've seen the 2:1 ratio thrown around. Fat:muscle. Not sure how tru that is tho

If you are losing 2:1 fat muscle then you are doing something terribly wrong. The amount of muscle lost on a cut should be minimal, LBM on the other hand (water, connective tissue etc) is another matter. A 4:1 fat:LBM is normal.Originally Posted by Avaric3

On the biggest loser around 70% of their weightloss is fat and 30% muscle and water.
That's why they end up looking like wrinkled prunes with slower metabolisms after 6-7 months.-80 kgs in 15 months.
-100 kgs goal (75kgs bodyweight)
Abs on a skinny guy is like a fatgirl with big tits, it doesn't count.
