i am 19 years old, 6' tall and 186lbs (around there)
my BMR is around 2040.
how many calories should i eat for a good cutting phase?
i am currently eating 2100 (i used that exel spreadsheet made by michael elias, which he recomends i eat 2100 a day)
i am worried 2100 is too little, becuase wouldnt just normal everyday activity burn about 900 calories a day on top of my BMR, making it total about 3000 calories burnt each day ...
then my 2100 calories a day makes a 900 calorie defecit ?
now come to think of it maybe 900 does sound like alot, but his recomended protein intake was 55% protein 35% carb and 10% fat... which ends up with me consuming about 280g of protein each day, which would i guess make up for the huge calorie deficit by helping retain my muscles with that insane amount of protein a day.
could i get some feedback on all of this ? advice .. anything.
i find 280g of protein hard to consume each day and is it potentially hazardous to my kidneys?
if i cant get all that protein in my daily diet then maybe i should up my calories a bit to prevent losing muscle.
hope to hear from somebody soon
thanks
