Is my diary good enough for a cut?

unless you currently weigh 120 pounds, your diary isn't up to par because it's only set for 1300 calories, and that's much much much much too low an amount for 19 year old male.

Well, you want to lose 16 pounds (of FAT) in three months.

Assuming you are COMPLETELY sedentary your TDEE is roughly 2243 calories a day at 6'1 and your current weight.

You want to lose 1.3lbs/week for 16 pounds of fat in 3 months.

Your calorie goal should be no less than 1593.

Although just saying since you're not overweight currently that goal of over 1/week is a little overzealous and if not enough protein is consumed may result in excess muscle loss.


Edited to add: Just looked at your diary and you aren't getting enough protein IMO. Your lean body mass currently is around 146 (assuming the 17% is correct). Try and aim to get 1gram protein for every gram LBM so around 145-150 a day.

try to cut on as much calories you can get away with so when you hit sticking points you have something to work with keep that fat level up and carbs look to be fine also keep that protein level up to at least how much you weigh

If you cut calories too much, you will lose muscle. If you want to be ripped, you have to maintain as much muscle as possible while eating in a deficit. Just because you eat in a deficit does not insure you that everything you lose is fat. Losing weight slowly by eating more and having a smaller deficit and having some type of strength training program will help to retain muscle while losing weight.

^ This. I made the mistake of eating too few calories and when I hit my weight goal, I had a lot of belly fat still present and no visible abs. I was even close to being underweight. Take the weight loss nice and slow.

900 calories a day? Yikes.

Bro

You honestly need to focus on building lean mass

If the chest is what is worrying you , Inbox me because I know all about it and there may only be one solution to that .

The hell is wrong with youth these days?
While 10% body fat is fine for a man, eating 1300 calories a day to get there is most definitely NOT the way to do it.
Focus on building muscle, not dieting like a Beverly Hill's housewife.

Heres the thing you guys Im not starving myself at all my stomach feels really full after Im done eating. And I started my strength training routine to lift 3 times a week. And I can consume much protein by my protein shakes if necessary to match my body weight just because I cant eat as much calories I should.

ANY pizza can be a 'personal' pizza if you believe in yourself and try hard enough.

This is a joke, and I can only respond with a joke. You're 19... you still have all sorts of hormones. Eat and lift like an ox and stop worrying about fitting into skinny jeans, that style is set to die soon anyway.

YOU WON'T LOOK SHREDDED IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MUSCLE.

If you really can only eat such a small amount then you need to swap what you are eating for more calorie dense foods. If you want to build muscle then you need to fuel your body to do so. You've already done an amazing job with the weight loss but if you want to build you really need to listen to what these guys are saying, you HAVE to up your calories xx

Good luck x

I just read through your diary and now have an overwhelming urge to kidnap you and feed you some good homecooked meals! I am alot shorter than you and Im not following a lifting routine but im netting an avarage of 500 cals more than you and still losing weight. Please, please up your calories!

I just looked at your diary and almost burst into tears. You've done a great job losing the weight and I'm sure it's beating a dead horse at this point but you definitely need more calories and weightlifting in your life. If I were you I'd adjust my diary settings so that you're only logging carbs, fat & protein.

I recommend you give this post a read. It has a lot of good information to help you better set your nutrition goals.

Cutting you're body fat percentage will do nothing for you unless you have the muscle. Everything happens in cycles. You bulk, then cut, bulk, then cut. Now's you time to bulk (gain muscle mass) and then after a few months you can go through a cut cycle to show off all that muscle! Pick up a Muscle & Fitness from time to time.

Good Luck & Godspeed!

Remember, we're not saying this to make you feel bad or sabotage your dreams. Just to make you aware that what you're doing is most definitely NOT beneficial to your body.
You cannot gain muscle if you're losing weight, and you will definitely drop a ton of weight if you continue eating 1000 calories a day..
If you want to be both skinny and unhealthy, keep doing this. If you want to gain muscle you need to eat more and strength train.
Who gave you this idea in the first place? Is it a self-made plan?
The best way to get the body you want is to understand how to get there. Reading would definitely help you.
Go to a site called bodybuilding dot com.
Not everything they say is accurate, but many of the men there have the type of body you're aiming for and you can read directly from them how to do it.
Some of the men I know on there eat 5000 calories per day, and they're most definitely not overweight.
