I'm 18, weigh 185-190 lbs, and have a fatter physique. I decided to lose fat. I weight train 5 times a week and eat 2000 calories with 169g of protein. My maintenance is around 2500 calories as I weight train/strength train 5 days a week and also walk 5k steps 5 days a week. To avoid a plateau, my plan is to eat 2000 calories in the first 3 months, then for the 4th month, I'll increase it to 2300 calories, then in the 5th and 6th months, back to 2000. By the end of 6 months, where do you think I will be in terms of my physique and overall fat loss? Moreover, should I stop at 6 months when I feel like my physique has gotten lean enough, then start a lean bulk?
If I have a high body fat percentage, how much should I cut to be in a calorie deficit according to the episode "5 Golden Rules To Go From 30% Body Fat To 10% Body Fat | Sal Di Stefano" and the clip "Cutting Process Explained"?
Should I start a cut since it seems like my body has adapted to the 3000 calories after completing a bulk at 3000 calories for nine weeks, starting at 232lbs, going to 238lbs in 5 weeks, and staying at 238lbs for the last 4 weeks? I was planning to cut to 2500 calories for 6 weeks, then have a week of maintenance, and then another 6-week cut. Is this a good approach?
