Q about fat loss and calories

Hey,

Ok I'm cutting right now current calories per day are avrg of 2050, main Q is if my fat % lowers or my weight do I need to increase my calories accordingly? I used the calorie calculator this morn put my new weight in and it showed I need to increase by about 100..Is this optimum? Do I basically need to increase as I get leaner?

Please help me out! Thanks!!!

if u lose weight u most likely have to decrease calories not increase. unless u gain muscle

Hmm..It just I am a little extra HUNGRY, so I figured it was due to bodyfat decreasing. I'm confused now. Don't really want to decrease cals, might lose some muscle? Or is this my only option? Aren't I essentially gaining muscle by reducing my body fat? It's being replaced by muscle no?

just because ur hungry doesnt necessarily mean u dropped body fat. and just because u decrease calories doesnt mean you'll lose muscle. has ur weight changed and have u actually checked ur bf%?

I don't know what my bodyfat is in all honesty, I've been going off how it appears and how thick it feels ha ha! Not optimal I know. Just looking at Dan mirage guide he suggest to drop 250 cals if your not losing fat or gaining muscle, what do you say? I do need a proper test though. I've gone from 72kg to 71kg since last week, 71kg being my current weight...What would you suggest. Here's my critique physique from last week I'm thinking maybe dropping 150?

Any help would be amazing!

o yea i saw those. it does seem like ur getting leaner but its hard to suggest something when i dont really know ur losing.  my suggestions for if u lost all fat would be completely different than if u lost mainly muscle 

Hmm, it's hard I have the acu measure caliper test would that be any good? It's a one point caliper.

At the mo I've basically added 3 HIIT sessions after weights and 20 min jogs on the non HIIT days, calories have stayed the same at around 2050 avrg. I'm just a bit stuck as to what I should do to create optimum results. Quicker results essentially

The probarbly not accurate acu-measure calipers had me arwnd 10.5% ...What should I do? Drop a few cals?

use the 3 point method. http://www.linear-software.com/online.html

as for cardio i would do HIIT on off days and the 20min steady cardio after lifting

Ok will try that and report back :)
Should I drop some cals? I'm thinking of adjusting my carb intake too, lower it.
My ratios are based on my 2050 cals
Fat 25-30ish
50-60gram
Carb 38-40ish
200-230gram
Pro 30-35ish
160-180gram


Typical meal plan is

8.30
cup oats
ON 100% whey mixed in

12.00
2 whole eggs scrambled on wholemeal pitta

3.00
Half a tin of tuna
mixed into quinoa teaspoon olive oil
Pnut butter

workout 5-5.45 on avrg
6.00-7(Post workout)
meat , with broccolli, string beans brown rice/ptatoe

10.00-10.30
ON 100% whey and 14 cashews

Do you reckon I drop some of the carbs later on? possibly the pitta or rice with pwo?

i just kinda glanced over it but it looks good. i would get some more vegetables in though. have u tried carb cycling?

Haven't tried carb cycling, would you advise this for me and my goals?
