I’m 21, 6’0, 190.5 lbs, at 18% body fat. Body composition described below:
• 34.2 lbs body fat mass
• 41.9 lbs lean dry lean mass
• 114.4 lbs total body water
According to this tdee calculator, I should be getting in 2,435 cal / day if I wanted to cut (I put “moderate exercise” since I gym 5x a week).
I’m currently trying a 2,000 cal / day diet, which is a deficit of around 900 cal / day or 1.8 lbs / week (assuming a deficit of 500 cal / day is equivalent to losing 1 lb / week).
I want to cut for 8 weeks, which means I’ll lose 1.8 lbs / week * 8 weeks = 14.4 lbs, and I’ll weigh somewhere around 190.5 - 14.4 = 176 lbs post-cut.
Is there a way to know what my body fat percentage will be at the end of the cut? Or do I have to go get a body composition test again?
