If I'm at about 15% body fat and looking to cut down to 10% body fat over 4 weeks, should I cut or reverse diet? I'm currently eating around 1900 calories and seeing progress, but it's hard to hit my protein metrics. I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall, weigh around 165 lbs, and my maintenance calories are about 2400. Sometimes it's hard to hit my protein goals at 1900, but I'm averaging about 130g of protein.
I started a reverse diet about four months ago. I can definitely tell a difference in my strength. I am not always consistent in hitting calorie and carb macros, but I am consistent with protein and fat. I am 47 years old, weigh 125 pounds, and consistently hit 170+ grams of protein. I would like to do a cut, but I’m not sure when it's appropriate. I try to get between 2000 and 2200 calories a day. When should I consider doing a cut?
