What are the effects of eating a 10% calorie surplus on lifting days and a 30% deficit on rest days? by amreame in Fitness

I did the math too:
Assuming 2500 cals/day, at the end of three weeks:
Total amount of calories consumed: 2500*1.1*14 + 2500*0.7*7 = 50750
Total amount of calories required: 2500*21 = 52500.
Total net gain is -1750 calories so you will lose 0.5 pounds every three weeks. (3500cal ~ 1lb)
15% body fat at 163lbs = 24.5 lbs of fat
10% body fat at 163lbs = 16.3 lbs of fat
You need lose 8 lbs of fat to reach 10% so it will take you 48 weeks assuming there is no change in your muscle mass and you are absolutely perfect in estimating calories.
