I would be going for more carbs. Less than 100g of carbs a day sucks.
I like keeping carbs up high during a cut. Keeps strength levels up or even increasing. At the moment I am getting min 300g carbs a day and that is low for me. But I suppose my maintenance is around 4000 calories and 5000 during footy season.lol: i would be going for less carbs. more than 100g of carbs a days sucks (for me). i guess we're all different though...
Two: Many foods, especially green vegies, have much of their carb count made up of dietary fiber which for the most part is not digested and thus the calorie count for those foods is lower
Is it ignorant of me to then say I could pretty much stack up on green vegies?
Im going to keep my food log in Excel and will track everything in there once I start adding other items as my calorie intake change.

I had not considered stripping weight quickly and accepting muscle mass loss so excusing my naivness, my protein intake should be more than enough to maintain/increase muscle mass?
If, for example, I stick to my current macros and food plan posted here but also lift 3 times a week and weighted cardio twice does that mean I'll create a deficit through burning calories versus calories eaten?

Please bare with me as its very overwhelming trying to grasp calories:

Its pretty simple, change in weight = [calories in] - [calories burned]

You are on the right track, don't overthink things, just start at 2600 calories and see how it goes.
nazzysmith - I now get what you meant by myfitnesspal *hurrduurr moment on my own behalf* I suck at Excel anyway and for the simplicity of your statement I will now track 3 bigger meals.
I will now make it my goal to track calories (whilst being honest with myself) for 2 weeks whilst I start out.
March83 - Again you are further helping my understanding of protein-nutrition/weights/cardio and how they play out in reflecting calories and expenditure
All this info is helping me heaps and Im very gratefull for all your guys advice.
Cheers
