    Consistent calorie deficit, work on plyometric exercises, and make sure to get enough rest to recover.
    It's an energy balance issue. Looks like you're going to need to lose between 80-100lbs in order to be fit enough to compete in G league.

    Hi Dylan! Welcome :smile:

    Go here: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change-goals-guided or More > Goals in app.
    1. Put in your stats.
    2. normal daily activities refers to your job.
    3. Ignore How many times a week do you plan on exercising? - that does not get included in the equation. Log your exercise separately.
    4. Select Lose 2 pound per week.

    The resulting calories is your daily calorie budget. It's normal to go a little over or under, but since weight loss is already included in these calories, you don't want to intentionally go hundreds of calories under.

    I suggest using a weight trend app, such as Happy Scale for iphone or Libra for Android.

    As you lose weight, change your rate of loss.
