Unless you’re an athlete for combat sports, it’s not weight you wanna lose. In the past I use to think losing weight was what needed to be done but it wasn’t. You see guys with muscles weigh more than fat guys since muscles require a lot more tissue. So what’s the thing you wanna lose then if it isn’t weight?
The answers simple, body fat. Body fat can be the difference between you look good and you look horrible. Aim to lose your body fat if it’s over 15%.
Aim to lose 0.5/lbs per week and go on a caloric surplus +200 if you’re either skinny or skinny fat. If you’re fat then go on a slight caloric deficit, -200.
Get to work.
