Maintaining current weight, but decreasing body fat,

insanebulls · January 2015

I am about to finish up a bulking phase, I want to remain the weight I am at currently while losing some bodyfat from my current weight. What is the proper caloric formula, to maintain my current weight but decrease body fat over time.? Please help, thank you.

Don't get caught up on weight. If i were you I'd get your body fat measured. Then you can compare compare lean mass to fat mass and measure it properly. As soon as you diet after a bulk phase you will lose weight, a bit of fat water and maybe muscle. Make sure you keep your protein up around 1.5-2 lb your body weight. Same for carbs and them slowly reduce the carbs at maybe 5-10 g per week. That will give you the best chance of holding on to your muscle.

You can't decrease body fat and not lose weight as you can cut your body fat faster than you gain muscle. The whole idea of bulking and cutting is you get big then you shrink, repeatedly, but each time you shrink your lean mass should increase.

You might try looking at sites like these, but remember, you will have to adjust things for you, as we are all different.
