Did a Dexa scan on the 15th had me at 11.1% thought I was a little bit better. Going back on the 7th of July to see how much progress I can make in 3 weeks..

    What weight did you start at and what calorie deficit/macro split did you follow?

    Great results

    To get there I was doing 50%p 35%c 15%f was on around 900-1100 calorie deficit. I will be honest with you I did switch my macros up a few times and the results were similar with different macros. Personally put more weight in calories than macros..

    Thanks what amount of calories were you eating towards the end? On a cut just now, your dexa results are good motivation but right now I feel miles away from results as good as that.

    Around 2200 calories. This is the best shape I have ever been in but it wasn’t like that about 5 years ago. I hit it pretty hard then would fall off for a little bit here and there but I figured out a lot of things that worked for me throughout that time and put it all together.

    Thanks. I’m about an inch shorter than you, currently down to 175lbs and have been cutting for about 5 weeks so far. My maintenance calories sound about the same as yours, currently cutting at 2100-2300 which seems to be working but slow. Averaging 1.4lb loss per week perhaps that’s to much per week. Guess I just need to stick with it for another couple of months and find out for myself!
