currently my deficit is -370
depending how u come up with your maintenance calories...
using the basic one 15xBW my calories = 2370
right now im taking in 2000 a day, do you think it would be ok to knock another 200 off because i think i only need to cut for a couple more weeks to be where i wanna be at?

When I cut, I do LBMx12-14. I increase my multiplier from 12 to 14 if I lose as much muscle as fat like 1:1 ratio.

500, I've done it at 1000 on e/c though...a bit too hard on me without appetite supressants at more than 500... i try to get most of my loss through excercise.

I try to keep my weight loss to 1 pound/wk (2 on some rare occasions). I don't really have a magic calorie number to get there, as my body tends to do its own thing on occassion. I just start cutting, weigh in on Thur to see my progress, and adjust accordingly to reach my goal on Sunday.

I start at maintainence and up my workouts a touch for the first 2 weeks, and I ususally lose 1-2 lbs in those 2 weeks. After that, I add 100 or 200 cals for maintainence and start over. I can generally do this twice, then I have to drop a few cals to drop weight. But I like to keep around maintainence and tweek things.
