While on a cutting cycle, aside from training and expected results from the gear, how many calories should your diet be restricted to in general? Thanks.
 
What works great for me, when i want to cut quickly. I multiply my bodyweight in pounds by ten to get my daily calorie allotment. 50 to 60% protein a little over 20% carbs a little less than 20% clean fats.
 
thanks lifts, i've used the equation for body fat reduction before, i just wanted to know if there was any personal secrets out there
 
I like to keep my carbs around 100-125g's day. That works great for me. Try drinking some green tea, it's great for increasing your metabolism. Great diuretic too.

That equation is my personal secret. As rado said green tea is great. I use cla, rALA, alcar and green tea every day.
 
Here are some tips:
- Fisrt clean up your diet (you'd be surprised how much fat you can lose just by eating good food)

- Then start to shift your macronutrients. Some people like different methods, you'll have to see which you like the best. Remember to keep your protein high to spare muscle tissue.

- Slowly reduce your calories by 500

- If you are dieting natural, you might want to try and lost weight a lot slower to try and avoid losing too much muscle.

- Try a thermogenic stack (Ephedra is banned soon, so stock up while you can)

- When diet alone won't take off fat as quick as you would like, then slowly introduce cardio. I would suggest looking into HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). There is a great thread on this board about HIIT.

- Try and consume carbs early in the day and after training. Late night carbs might be a bad idea, so try and eat them in your first 3 meals of the day.

- Shoot for a minimum of 6 meals per day. If you have trouble eating 6 times per day, then eat smaller proportions. 6 times per day will keep your metabloism up.

- If you are using a very low carb diet, try introducing a high carb day once per week. This will raise your metabolism and keep your body buring all those calories.


I have to get going to the gym now. If I think of anything else to add, I will throw it in here
