    Been cutting at 3700-3800 calories at 190 P.

    That's pretty impressive! I'm very jealous, I'm cutting at 1700-1800.

    Anyone else trying to lose weight for this warm weather? Currently eating 1800 calories with 150g of protein to keep the muscle. I lift 4-5 times a week.

    I've been doing the shred for the last 3 months.. I'm lifting 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week. 1400 cals seems to be my sweet spot

    1400?! Lord 1800 is tough with lifting. You are tough make sure you don't go catabolic and lose your muscle. I'm feeling great energy wise at 1800 and lifts are still great. Nothing has dropped off but my job has me standing still mostly.

    So if one was trying to burn fat and obtain a leaner body what should I do?

    I lost 50lbs lifting weights no cardio. 60 second rest periods. Currently I have 5-10lbs to lose for my abs to look more define so I incorporated cardio with weight training. 5 days of lifting and 15mins of elliptical at the end of each session.

    Dude, what are you doing to be able to eat that many calories and still be in a deficit? I'm 218, 6'1 and need to eat below 3300 calories to cut.

    Uh... I'm cutting on 1400 (or 1500, or 1600... I'm pretty sloppy), and I'm a 5'5" woman.

    Lift heavy with structured program that has a progressive overload and focuses on compound lifts, eat .8-1g protein per pound of body weight or lean mass, moderate deficit, moderate cardio.

    I'm 6'3 212lb at 12-13% ish body fat and one of the most physical jobs so that helps.
    I also reverse diet out of my bulks so I get maximum calorie intake when all said and done.
