    Okay and as I've never cut before I should ask, does my calories need to be made up of good food or anything within calorie range??
    You might get lots of different answers to this, but personally I prefer to eat anything I want that fits my macros

    I always opt for good food when given a choice. You should focus on meeting your protein and fat macros. Whatever you like best for the rest of the calories.

    - Your bodyweight in pounds x 1.2-1.5 = Protein per day

    - Your bodyweight in pounds x 0.45+ = Fat per day

    - Fill the remaining calories up with carbs

    Concept that is easy to set with MFP: 30% protein, 25% fat

    Target based on science and stuff: 1.8g protein / kg bodyweight.

    Overkill but still ok: 1g protein/ lb bodyweight.

    o_O 1g protein per pound of bodyweight overkill?

    I weigh 211lbs so I need about 230grams of protein? Is that correct?
