How To Divide Calories When Cutting?

[Redsoxjss]

So when bulking its maintenance +500 calories with like a 40/40/20 (protein, carbs, fat) diet or 30/50/20 but a lot of people seem to cut the carbs when cutting. So when cutting you eat maintenance -500 but how do you divide up the calories?

Don't worry about percentages, just work on hitting individual macro needs. On a cut I'd eat a bit more protein, closer to 1.5g per pund of bw. Then then rest is just personal preferance, you can divide it either way. As long as you eat a bit more protein, eat at the same deficit, the actual ratios of carbs:fat is irrelvant. Imo, I'd choose more carbs over fat, but that's me.

eat until not hungry then leave the table.

Don't care much about percentages of macros, check the nutrition section stickies...

You eat 500 calories below maintenance, make sure your getting 1g lb/bw in protein and make sure your hitting fat's as well and disregard the rest.
