What's more important Macro or calorie Level

Ever heard of Abbreviated training? Help
Hello, On my journey to 12% body fat, I'm learning new things everyday but I come back here to verify if what I've learned is credible or not. I've been doing 5/3/1 since May 2015 and saw great results strength wise. Gained 15lbs too on a diet which I didn't even know what it was. Now I'm on caloric deficit and I'm…

I'll say it outright. What do I do to speed up fat loss
Hello again. I am doing calories in and out and weight loss is consistent so far but I'm learning that I can speed up fat loss too? Is that just nonsense or fact? Any special exercise or routine that targets fat loss? I'm at 25% BF (ok its wrong) but what's reasonable to get at in 10 weeks? Possible to get that to 12% or…

Deficit 2400 TDEE 3400 - what about rest days?

I'm still in deficit and still lifting heavy but weight loss?
Since last Saturday, weight hasnt budged at all. Rather went up from 223.6 to 223.8 and fat was down from 26.1 to 26 but fluctuates. Everything is normal right? Haven't changed anything at all, no cheat meal either. I just make sure every might I meet my protein requirement and before going to bed I walk until I am like…

I keep going over my carbs and sugar in breakfast alone!!
Maybe I'm counting wrong cuz my weight drop is consistent so far. However I don't update the app on daily basis and have made it in my mind to do it -weekly instead daily since weight is suppose to fluctuate. So my 2400 Calorie diet allows me 84 grams sugar - I was done with that in breakfast - what am I suppose to cut…

Now they are saying 1k is too big deficit? World is hard.
Hey guys, I think I won't have any more questions after this for another week or so. I'm reading that 1000 is a big calories deficit and in my 16 week cut, my metabolism will slow down so much that I won't be able to either push myself more in the gym and neither will I be able to burn more calories. Is it true? My TDEE is…

I just had a realized while I was lying in bed that isn't this wrong? I don't want to end up skinny fat. I lost weight from Jan 1,2016 - to Jan 16- from 230-223.6. Is it too fast? Why isn't fat percent dropping similarly? I'm not even taking cheat days neither have a consumed single drop of alcohol. Even sugar is in check.…

Do I need to keep adjusting calories?
I started with 230lb and with my TDEE punched in and everything came out to 3400. I manually punched in 2400 deficit and so far weight loss is optimal. In 14 days I'm down to 226 lbs. Now should I readjust the caloric values with 226 lb weight in the calculator? Also how does deficit even work. Wouldn't body automatically…

How do I count calories in homecooked meals? Also hi-cups?
Hello, New to counting calories- let's say I put 100 grams of brown rice in a bowl and then cooked them with usual salt and water. Before taking the stuff in my plate- I measure and it comes out my portion is 50 grams- I just divide it-and I get 55 cals since 100 grams has 111 cals. This was simple and easy but what about…
