I was at 2400 calories a day, but then decided to cut down to 1900-2000 calories a day for a month and a half. Now I'm trying to reverse diet and am at 2250 calories, strength training 3 times a week, and went from 150.4 to 152.4 pounds in 5 days. Is this normal, or do I need to adjust something?
I am 260 pounds at about 30% body fat, and my goal is to get down to 15% body fat. I currently maintain about 4000 calories. Should I cut to 3000 or 3500 calories? If I undulate calories, can I jump to 3000 without the metabolic slowdown?
I'm a 45-year-old male, 221.2 lbs, and 20% body fat. My goal is to reach 180-185 lbs and 13-15% body fat.

My weight is staying the same, but I'm getting stronger. When should I start to lean down or start cutting calories?
