Hey everyone, ive been lurking here for a while, great site.
I have a couple questions about my diet.
How much of a calorie deficit can i go while still making gains in muscle and strength?
What should be my breakdown p/c/f? My average over the last 6 days or so is about 40/35/25, to about 1/3 each.
My calories are around 1800-2300.
Im 6'4" @250. Do I need 1.5g of protien per day? Even at 1g per, I find it almost impossible to eat that much, even if I drink 40g 2 times a day. Im usually at 175g a day, average with 1-2 drinks.
I try to eat 2500 calories/day, but I dont know what I can eat that is high in protien and high in calories. If I stay away from carbs and fat, I end up with no calories.
So calorie deficit, im like I said 250 and on the second month of p90x. The program says each workout is about 600 calories. Per their calculations I burn 3600 calories a day with the workout based on my 250lbs. So I can have a 1500 calorie/day deficit and still eat 2k a day @ 175g of protien.
