TDEE-25% too aggressive??

Sweettart

I plan on starting TDEE on monday and not sure if -25% is too much? I do have 65-85lbs to lose. I will be working out 6 days a week.

What is your opinion

What is wrong with that approach you have been using? Your ticker says you have lost 20lbs which is awesome. TDEE -25% seems a little drastic. If it is below your BMR you probably should reconsider. Slow and steady wins the race! Good luck.

Or try 20% for a month and if you find that doesn't work then shift it up to 25%. Just as likely to result in steady weight loss but less likely to result in hunger

25% is fine. You should lose about 1.5lb a week which is perfectly reasonable with the amount you have to lose.

If you find yourself getting hungry, up your calories till you are at TDEE - 20%. And don't forget you need a less severe deficit the closer you get to goal, so be prepared to up them after you have lost some - I'd say about 20lb.
