Ahhhh. Looked what my maintenance is likely to be after I cut...
1800. lol.
1800 entire calories for 10%.
Ahhh. tbf I can live off of 1800 long term. 1800 isn't a bad volume of food to be fair.
ALso doing some research into bodyweight setpoints. I know a BBer who is 50 years old...grew up obese as a kid and remained obese for his entire life up until about age 30. Got into BBIng.
Despite the fact he weighs 115 Kg at 8%-10% bodyfat he requires just 2500 kcal a day to maintain otherwise he gets fatter...has to go as low as 1000-1200 kcal to get into stage condition BUT he requires 4000+ to grow meaningfully. anything under 4000 causes him to grow slightly but just get fatter.

it really seems once you are in a given bodyfat percentage range for a sustained peroid of time your body seems to always fight to get back to its fattest point
How interesting is that?
His metab is extremely scewed towards being obese
