Thanks @steveP ; and @Davepuppies ; I shall take those points on board for sure. I think it would be quite easy for me to reduce fat and carbs, in that order, progressively. This myfitnesspal app is simply amazing.
One point that concerns me though. And since you guys have done this before, let me ask.. is there a direct relationship between massive calorie deficits and muscle catabolism? Or is it the macros that matter. I am prepared for my strength gains to take a hit, but I want to do everything I can to protect my lean muscle mass.. so I don't end up looking like a malnourished third world child lol..
Any Fat loss will typically come with a small amount of muscle loss..... Without gear. The bigger the deficit, the bigger the chance of muscle loss. I would have thought eating 3700 calories with 60-70kg FFM would have been a decent surplus.
things I do to help...... Keep protein relativley high, BCAA (not that many are a big fan of these on this forum) and cycle your calories and macros. Don't make every day a huge defecit.
