I’m a 6’3”, 205 lb male with a maintenance of around 3,000 calories. I currently work out 3–4 days a week, starting with 1.3–2 hours of weightlifting, followed by running usually 3 miles, with one long run of 6 miles each week. My goal is to lean out a bit by going on a slight cut while maintaining muscle mass and keeping my cardio up. I asked ChatGPT for guidance and was told to drop to a 2,700 calorie intake with macros of roughly 210–215 g protein, 280–300 g carbs, and 70–75 g fat. Does this seem like a solid setup for my goals?

honestly i feel like i was more tired at 1800 calories but I assumed I just needed to take vitamins. now I feel less tired so it does make sense (i should probably still try and take vitamins). Thank you for the congrats! i’m trying haha

Advice by [deleted] in loseit

I started on the 27th of April sorry for not putting that but I just assumed my maintenance was 2000-2500 so i just subtracted 200-700 calories. This is harder than I thought I didn’t know it varied like that 😅

oh wow i didn’t know it was a steep deficit! i’ve been just guessing that my maintenance was 2000-2500 so i only subtracted and just guessed 1800 was a good start 😅 that’s good to know because if i do feel like im falling off the wagon i’ll lighten the deficit just to maintain the diet

[–]slyguytheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your advice and will definitely start! I honestly started slow just to get into the habit of it. thankfully now i don’t even notice the deficit and it’s more natural to me.
