Calories Needed to Cut

[barnidge]

How many calories are needed to cut? I have heard that 12XBodyWeight is for maintenance. I am 220, would 10X220=2200/day be effective for cutting?

it is 15 X your bodyweight for maintenance, and that minus 500 for cutting, or around 12 X your bodyweight both are around the same figure. it is around 20 X your bodywieght for bulking.

Doesn't it depend on your BMR? Some people have jobs where they're running around all day (like mine) and some people have a desk job. Some people do cardio, others don't. etc etc etc. It all depends
