Finally taking a look at weight/nutrition to hopefully improve my performance. Are there any general guidelines on what is an acceptable caloric deficit while training? Since 11/15 I’ve lost around 8-10 lbs (3.5-4.5 kg). I started using MyFitnessPal after the New Year to track things with much more precision.

I’m currently 122kg and looking to get down to 80kg. I realise this will be a long game but has anybody got any advice for me that will help me on my way? Any nutrition tips?

I seem to remember hearing on the podcast at some point that its not an ideal time to do it due to the high intensity of the training in build phase. However, I let my diet slip a bit during the base phase and have an unwanted 10 lbs hanging around now heading into Build. For reference I am 6’-1", 200 lbs (4.23W/kg) right now looking to get between 188-192lbs.
