By how much and how often should i cut back calories?
Bulking right now but im organizing my cutting plan. When i start to cut back calories, should i did like i did when i bulked but in reverse order +100-200 calories a week until i started seeing gains which reversed would mean -100-200 calories based on weight observations and the mirror? I want to preserve as much muscle mass as possible(don't we all).

200 calories is too tiny. If you're off on either side (calories in or calculating TDEE) - your weight loss is crossed out.
I suggest 500-700 deficit for males.Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto combined with 16/8 IF. It'll create easy calorie deficit. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

I know what the recommended total deficit should be, or surplus for that matter. What i don't know is by how much you should adjust at one time. I believe that all of a sudden going to what you believe to be -500 of your TDEE will have some serious muscle loss consequences. So I need to know how big the jumps toward your goal caloric intake should be. Should you subtract 50 a day, 200 a weak or what?Originally Posted by RocknRollMuscle

I've gone from maintenance to -500 or so and not experienced muscle loss that I could tell. I just keep protein high and keep lifting and just eat a bit less. It's worked for me...Originally Posted by dylanbohn95
Okay, have you ever been around chickens? They are stupid, uncooperative, inconvenient, ill-tempered creatures. They get what they deserve. [Bleep] chickens.

Going from 200 to 500 calorie deficit overnight is not going to have "serious muscle loss consequences". Even more so if you're eating high protein and lifting.Originally Posted by dylanbohn95
