[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do you weigh and how much do you eat now? If you need to loose at your weight I assume you are 150+ lbs? In that case with that amount of activity you will be starving at 1500. You can surely do it, particularly if you eat high volume low calorie foods, but you probably don’t have to. I am 5’6” 145lbs and 1900 calories on weekdays and 2400 on the weekends makes me lose a bit less than 1lb of fat a week. 1800 every day would be an aggressive cut for me. What some people report here is maintenance makes me sad. I would not be able to eat so little. [/quote]

Op - I am 5’7” and weigh 148. [/quote]

In that case you should not have all that much to lose unless you carry very little muscle. You should not need to cut super aggressively. Try to create a reasonable deficit that you can sustain and stick to it for several weeks. And adjust as needed based on progress. Start with a TDEE calculator to give you an estimate of your maintenance and eat some 300-500 calories less than that. The calculators are just an approximation and you might have to tweak based on actual results but this calculator has been closest to estimate my needs https://rippedbody.com/macro-calculator/[/quote]
