Lets just be sure..

So I am just needing reassurance on this because its new..

I run 3 days a week and do jillian's 30DS 6 days a week. My regular activities besides my excersise is usually just relaxing on the couch... once or twice a week volenteering.. this means my TTDE activity level is moderate currect? Also, fatloss is my goal but so is muscule gain.. I'm 127 lbs and my BF is % 25.5. I'd say fatloss is a little more important to me at the moment but I'd like to at lest reserve what muscule I've worked to gain durin my Jillian workouts untill I reach my goal BFof % 15/17. For the record I'm only 10 pounds from my goal weight of 115. Although that is getting a little less important to me as my future plans is to get into some more aggressive strength training. So my question is, 10 lb from my goal, wanting to lose fat as fast as possible as well as reserving muscule, pssibly even building muscule at the same time, should I eat at a deflict of -% 5, 10, 15 or maintenance level? And also on your rest day do you eat the same ammount as you would on a workout day? Tell me what's worked for you guys. Thank you so much in advance!

10% is appropriate in general for 10 lbs left.

But you might also log your lifting calories when you start that, that's going to be your only way to get more if you eat those calories back on those days. So it won't be 10% daily on avg, but only non-lifting days.

How long do you run for, minutes a week?
And 30DS is 3 hrs weekly then?
