Stats
age- 25
height- 6' 1
weight- 217lbs
bodyfat- 16-18%


Training-
4 day split weight training
ss cardio 4x per week
HIIT 2x per week


Aim-
To get down to around 10% body fat with minimal muscle loss

Additional info-
I've previously done a cleanish bulk wiv a 300/400/100 macro split which is around 4200 cals.
My main areas that i hold fat is around my love handles and lower abs, my top abs are still visable :).
I plan to start taking carbs out of my diet slowly unitl i end up wiv a diet like the one below and introduce
ss cardio and HIIT into my routine. I will then take it from there and maybe look into carb cycling and other
methods further down the line if fatloss comes to a hault. My cals might seem to be high at first glance
but i am a builder and VERY active , i cut last time around 2800 cals with a 300/150/87 split but felt awful
and lost muscle too :(.

I reccomend ECA first off. Second cardio on an emtpy stomach i hate and 5 grams of bcaas is nothing. You dont need to drop calories that much maybe by 250-500 or else u risk losing muscle. You rather be bigger and muscular, then really skinny and ripped. I would look into carb cycling. Remember every week to possibly refeed and eat maintence ora little over to restore glycogen and maintain metabolism. Dont cut too fast

comebine broccoli (anything green) and good fats with a carb containing meal. I would only have carbs upon wakening (before cardio) and a few before weight training and a good amount after. If your getting 250 a day I would do... 75 morning, 50 before training, 100 after. google "the cut diet", its a great read
