    Just find your BMR subtract 500 from it. You get your daily caloric intake. Simple. Now you have this you have to lift routinely to prevent muscle loss. I would recommend walks 3 times a week and HIT at least twice a week. There you go you will lose weight quick. Also consume your protein atleast 1 gram of protein per body-aim for this.

    so if I get to 10% from where I am right now(see pics), wont I be too skinny. Last thing i want is to look like death after all the effort and discipline.

    Do NOT eat under your BMR. Use the stickied threads to find your maintenance cals and compose a diet. When you figure your maintenance/tdee consume 10-20% less cls to lose weight. Cardio will increase your defecit.

    1. Get rid of your misconceptions
    2. Calculate your calories and macros
    3. Eat about 20% less calories than you burn each day while still meeting minimum protein and fat. Get the remainder of cals from carbs.
    4. Buy a kitchen scale and weigh everything that you eat.
    5. Count calories using a site like MyFitnessPal. Here's how to count properly.
    6. Lift heavy weights to preserve muscle mass, on a program like Starting Strength. Why not your own routine? Read this.
    7. If nothing happens after 3 weeks, reexamine calculations, and eat less.

    -Credit to dmacdonal9 for the list.

    If you want to lose some weight before bulking 5-10lbs, that's fine, but I think losing anymore might leave you looking twiggy. I would cut slowly, so you don't lose all your muscle mass. I would also eat more. I'm a girl and I lose weight on 1700 calories a day. I think 2000 would be better for you. Once your ready to bulk, I would do a slow, long bulk, so you don't put on more fat than muscle.

    So I am 88 kilo now. I have dropped 5 kilo in 6 weeks. I was consuming 1600-1700 cals and working out 4 days split and running 5 kms once a week. By reading this thread and seeking advise from experienced guys i found out that i need to consume atleast 2000 cals and stop the 5 km running. I do HIIT now for 15 mins after workout 3 days a week. But my weight has gone up. Should i drop the cals again or do i need to start the running again. Shouldnt i be still losing about a pound a week? Does HIIT have a real advantage over running?
    Thanks
