[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't matter if someone has 20% body fat or 40%. There is only one way to lose body fat and that is through diet. You need to be in a calorie deficit. If retaining muscle is important to you during this deficit period, then your diet needs to be in a calorie deficit PLUS heavy on protein. You can figure out your macros using a macro calculator online. They will typically calculate a 500 calorie deficit if you want to lose fat. So let's say during your calorie deficit, you need to limit your daily intake to 1500 calories. You need to figure out what type of food will comprise those 1500 calories that gives you 1.2-2 grams per kilogram of your body weight-- if you want to retain muscle. Then once you've figured out your protein intake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks... you can fill it the other calories around that.[/quote]
