Guys/Sifu..

I want to drop my body fats to around 12-15%ish but do not want to compromise on losing my muscle gains. Need to lose that stubborn belly fats.
I do not know whether I should be cutting my calories or going for calories surplus.
Currently just started back workout.. 3 days a week..

Help?


muscle 39.4%
body fat 22.1%
weight around 80kg
height 180cm

aiming for 20/50/30 macros.

eating 500 calories less than my normal amount should suffice ?

How do you get the fat estimation?

Any body pics or measurements?

easier to just cut until skelly then do lean bulking

estimation based on the electronic weighing scale nia....
Just wanted to know .. based on my stats... should cut or should bulk

Looking at the replies.. seems like its best to cut till fats is low then only lean bulking.. as u said smile.gif

Sounds like a lot of serious discipline and dedication in order to achieve.

To be great we have to discipline abit lo... have to sacrifice some time off from my gaming/mamak session .... sleep early, workout more..

but counting calories is really hard work... I have to admit haha!!

I had the same issue as you are experiencing now, until I really started counting my calories, cut down on my carbs and increase my protein. Totally no deep fried/fried oily food. I also increased my exercise frequency from 3 times to 5/6 times per week and Walaa.......5kgs shed. If you are determined, you will achieve it.

whats your secret on getting enough proteins daily? apart from shakes...
