Will this diet and training allow me to lose fat and sustain muscle growth?
Ok let’s have it .more cardio less cardio, more cals less cals.more sets less sets.

Supps are nox explode,luteour70

My goal is to be 218-225 lbs @10% B/F or less.

Should I add a fat burner????

Thanks in advance

Crazy legs.

Well for starters, definitely cut back the volume on the weights and you should do an additional day of HIIT (even if you have to train twice a day). Also, could you be more detailed about the amounts you are eating?

For example, you have potatoes, but not the amount that you are eating. Including the weight of your protein and carb portion gives a better indication of your kcal intake.

Yeah, I second that. Cut your volume AT LEAST in half. You're doing ~25 sets/day 4x per week. 6-9 sets/day 4x per week is much more realistic and effective for cutting, IMO.

I would start off lighter with your cardio for the first few weeks, then gradually add more. That way you have room to advance if you reach a plateau in you weight loss goal.
I would hold off on fat burner for right now. Wait until you get your diet and workout routine down and working good for you, then add the fat burner in toward the end of cutting phase to help get that extra bit of fat off that you couldn't achieve with diet and cardio alone.

Depending on your metabolism you may want to cut the calories further. If it's pretty slow (like me), you could go down as low as 2200 or 2000. I'd keep the carbs and protein and cut some of the fat.

What's your maintenence caloric intake?

Sounds about right. I can lose a good amount just by cleaning up my diet and adding a little cardio. I usually use strength as my gauge. If I lose strength for more than 2 sessions, then I increase my kcals by about 100. I have a tendency to overdiet, but by using this as my gauge, I have a tangible measurement.
