I would subtract more than 250 cals from your tdee otherwise you are just pissing in the wind. minus 250 a day is a good way to get people to stop cutting due to lack of results. The norm is -500 cals. minus 500 cals a day is 1 lb fat loss per week.

to build lean muscle mass the body needs 1gram of protein for every 1lb of lean body mass. So a 200lb person with 10%body fat will need 180+ grams a day for muscle growth. 200 x.10=20 200-20=180 grams of protein
