Cutting soon how much do you drop calories

[Avani%34]

Wrapping up my bulk and planning a cut next month Do you guys slowly lower calories or go straight into deficit mode Trying to keep as much muscle as possible this time

[Timothy258$]

I usually drop about 300–400 calories to start and see how my body reacts No need to rush it

[James887jjr]

Go slow bro If you cut too hard right away you’ll lose muscle and feel flat Gradual drop works best

[Lunaiju]

I start by trimming carbs a bit and adding some cardio Keeps strength up while fat starts coming off

[Ava643ffjj]

I just lower calories slightly and track weight for 2–3 weeks If it stalls then I drop a bit more

[carlajjjrr]

Don’t crash diet You’ll burn out fast Slow and steady keeps muscle on

[Mathewsdf]

I keep protein high drop some fats first and then adjust carbs later if needed Works every time

First week I go about 10% below maintenance then adjust weekly Easier to maintain energy and performance that way
