Caloric deficit? explain

[Bridger]

Okay, as the title suggests, can some explain what a caloric deficit is?

If you want to be quite precise about it

-you work out how many calories you need to eat each day

There are formulas for this on this thread

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/steroids-discussion-forum/help-sort-out-your-diet-565562.html

-you deduct 15-20% of the total calories you need each day, without going below your basal metabolic rate

One of the best ways to create a calorie deficit is to burn more calories with intense training and cardio


Basically, it is eating fewer calories than your body needs to maintain its current weight.
