I’m using mfp to track calories and using 1/2 pound per week goal wt loss to set calories. It’s about 2200 per day. I’m also adding calories burned during workouts to my daily total, so on workout days I’m about 3k calories. Half way through power build moderate volume. I didn’t lose wt in base because it was mostly holidays. (Didn’t gain tho) I’ve done all workouts feel very good and lost 4 lbs 4 weeks into block. Choosing complex carbs/whole foods avoiding refined sugars (is beer whole food?) and pushing lean and plant protein. 50/25/25 mix. I’m looking to loose 7 more pounds through this build and next block. I’m 5’11 172 so by everyday standards I’m “lean” but not by racer standards. My caloric deficit is probably 300 cal a day
