What would be a good cutting diet?

[RandomBear]

Currently 165lbs 5'9 and around 16-17% bodyfat. I'm thinking of starting a cut soon but i have absolutely no idea what the diet is suppose to be like. Not looking to lose a shitload withtin a short time, main priority of the cut is to be able to keep my muscle mass while slowly losing out the extra fats. Looking to cut down to around 6% bodyfat in around 12-16weeks or so.

mod-high protein, mod-high fats and low carbs. as for macros, without knowing your stats maybe 250p, 120-150f and 100-120c a day...just a thought. ultimately your gonna have to play around with the macros some as everyone is different. oh and tren doesnt hurt either

What else are you doing besides a diet? Any supplements ,AAS , pro hoes.? What type a work do you do ? Is it physical ? . Thanks for more info. Ib

16% of 165 = 26.4lbs fat

6% of 155 = 9.3 lbs of fat

That's 17 lbs of fat loss and 7lbs of muscle gain in 12-16 weeks.

Or 6% of 145 = 8.7 lbs of fat

That's just under 18 lbs fat loss and about 2lbs muscle loss.

That sounds like harder work than I would want to do in 12-16 weeks!

I workout 4-5 times a week with HIT and around 20mins of light cardio(walking) everyday. Nope not looking to use aas as of yet, supplements just the normal protein,preworkout and multi vitamins, wouldn't mind getting a fat burner during the cut. No work currently, i am currently a student.

There are different approaches, but what I had good success with was hi (lean) protein mostly chicken and fish, moderate complex carbs (4 oz brown rice, etc) and lo fat (olive, coconut oil). I also did 45 minutes of lower intensity fasted cardio first thing in the AM with caffeine. Sometimes I would do interval cardio when I felt the fat loss stalled.

Like I say, keto works great too. I just found to function after a couple weeks, I needed some carbs or my brain went dead lol But I have a good friend that is using it to great success.
