Alright thanks man, I appreciate the help. I'll probs track around 2100 calories.
2 pounds is still too much even with a good diet. Eat 200-400 under your maintenance. For protein, try to aim for 0.75-1g/1lb.
I already know about the macros problem, I've taken account to what I need the most. With a 2 pound loss, I have to eat more protein in order to keep my muscles good and healthy. But should I go with the suggested calories (1900) or lower or higher?
Keep lifting and eating. Besides calories you need to watch and eat your macros (protein, carbs, fats). Aim to lose a pound a week for the best muscle retention possible. Under eating that much will definitely effect your strength and losing too much weight too quickly will end up in more muscle loss than you expect. No need to rush it. also myfitnesspal has some problems with macros I believe so look up more on those but for the most part it's fine
Yo man, don't normally talk to you. I've heard around that you lift alot and have a decent core. I'm working towards that. Currently I have the same muscle size and tune as https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...69538367_n.jpg. The only difference between me and that picture is my stomach, I don't have abs. I think losing about 10 pounds will do me some justice and get me at least a 4 pack ( don't have very much body fat at all, maybe around 15%). I'm currently counting calories to create a deficit; however, I don't know if I should follow fitness-pal word for word (instead of 1900 calories like it says im going to eat 1400). I'd like to know if I should follow fitness-pal's advice.
