Hi 3J!
Heres some info, looking to cut that BF% down
Stats
Male
Age: 29
Weight: 85kg, 187lbs
Height: 174cm, 5' 8.5"
BF%: 25
Goals: Get BF% below 15 without losing muscle, then do a 10 week test cycle to bulk
BMR
I used my foot scale for the bf% (25). Not sure how accurate it is. I'll try and get it tested later.
LBM = 63,5kg
370 + (21.6 x 63,5) = 1741,6
TDEE
Moderate: 1742 x 1.55 = 2700
This is what I've been doing for a while now:
1700-2000 kcal depending on how much calories I spend. 50% protein, 25% carbs, 25% fat. Chicken, pork, lean red meat, tuna, salmon, low fat cottage cheese, skim milk, veggies, oats, brown rice, recovery drink, whey protein drink, 3 liters of water a day, creatine, animal pak, omega 3 caps, green tea caps, a cup of coffee and/or green tea/day.
I spend about 300-500 calories on cardio (P90X3) 6-7 times a week. Resistance training 4 times a week (Wendler's 5/3/1). I haven't checked what I spend at the gym.
Here's a fairly typical day of eating, except for having the wrong kind of chicken:

And this (Keto) is what I've been thinking about starting:
I did this below guide for myself according to the info on this post
steroidworld.com/forums/steroid-diet-nutrition/94-ckd-diet-quick-guide.html
Everything in it is of course subject to change. I only started reading up on Keto yesterday so it might be way off, but it's a starting point.
Sun - Fri
140 LBM x 4 = 560 calories from protein
187 pounds x 15 = 2805 maintain cals - 500 = 2305 cutting cals - 560 = 1745 cals from fat
Calories: 2305
Protein: 140 grams, 560 cals
Fat: 194 grams, 1745 cals
Carbs: max 15g
As you go deeper into the diet, and find the need to restrict calories more, you must cut fat calories, not protein.
Eat fat and protein all day everyday except on workout days. After workouts, you will need to consume just protein***8212;no fat or carbs.
Friday afternoon, around two hours before your last workout of the week, eat two to three pieces of fruit.
The weekend carb load (Fri night - Sat midnight)
Your "carb-up" should begin Friday night and last until around midnight Saturday.
64kg LBM x 10 = 640 grams of carbs
After friday workout: 100g carbs + 50g protein in a whey shake. 640 - 100 = 540g
Spread out over the compensation period:
Protein: 140g
Fat: Below 65g
Carbs: 540g
Training (5/3/1)
Mon: Military Press + P90X3 Incinerator or Challenge
Tue: Deadlift + assistance exercises
Wed: Basketball 1 hour
Thu: Bench + P90X3 Eccentric Upper or Complex Upper
Fri: Squat + assistance exercises
Sat/Sun: Rest/stretching
3J: When should I be working out on Keto? On carb load day or not? Also, I probably should start easier with the P90X stuff and add them in later? They can be pretty tough. I think I read the first couple of weeks on Keto you might not be feeling very energetic.
