[TheeFate]

Carbs are fine, fats are too low.

[Ka0s]

why are you cutting at 150

also yeah that is really low calories for a 150lb dude,
do you do any cardio?

[Raphael8]

1600?that is incredibly low lol and you shouldn't cut at 150lb my friend I suggest the opposite aka bulking lol

na i made a thread earlier this week with pics etc. got told to cut cause i had too much fat

link to thread here.

also haven't figured out my cals for maintenance yet.. so i just went with 1600 for this week to see how much i'll lose

[Ka0s]

what is your maintenance/tdee

[xboct77]

what is your maintenance/tdee

going from the nutrition thread my maintenance ended up being around 2000 calories

soz no idea whats TDEE? (edit: nvm just googled it)

[TylerTheTrainer]

make your calories 500 under your maintanance intake.

And find a macro nutrient calculator on google, and than it will tell you what macros you need for that calorie deficit.

totally daily energy expenditure, basically how many calories per day you burn just by being alive (cool right)

2000 seems low as hell do you just play video games all day

pretty much. during uni im mostly studying and my casual job i just sit at a desk

so going by that.. 1600 should be about right isnt it?

yeah i couldnt open up your thread for some reason but
if you are skinny fat (which is what i suspect) i think the general consensus is that you should "suck it up" and bulk first so that when u finally do cut you have some decent muscle mass to reveal
you could also spend this time progressively increasing your calories so that when it is time to cut, you can diet on like 2400 instead of 1600
