cutting phase

 Most bodybuilders will gain muscle in bulking phase they also gain some fat while bulking they remove the fat in the cutting phase. They will follow the cutting phase diet for 4-6 months. In this post, I am going to explain about cutting phase and how to do it. 

Cutting means eating less and trying to shed body fat to end up lean whilst maintaining muscle mass. Unfortunately, cutting down on food and upping cardio can be a stressful experience at the best of times 

The formula for calorie deficit in cutting is (bodyweight*14 to17)-(20 to25% maintenance calories) ==daily calorie intake.

So finding maintenance calories is the starting point of knowing where to cut from. What I have here is a formula for you to get started. It will get you close but it's just a baseline as you will adjust the numbers along your journey. As you gauge the trends with the current intake from the formula, you will continue to fine-tune the deficit calories for your own individual requirements

Focus on both resistance training and cardio

Although cardio is a useful tool, we should treat it as such. Do not use cardio as your main method to lose fat. If you are wanting to sustain lean muscle mass, lifting with resistance weights is a must. There has to be a reason for the muscle to stay and that is by providing the body resistance. By doing an excess of cardio or cardio alone will only aid in producing a smaller version of yourself, not the tone, chiseled, cut look.

Train in both strength and hypertrophy

Train in both types of resistance training, both strength and hypertrophy rep ranges and load are equally important as they have a direct carryover to improving in each type of training. Strength is in the (85-90% of  1-rep max) and normally in the 4-8 rep range. Hypertrophy is in the range of (60-75% of rep max) and normally in the rep range of 8-12. Also with that being said, there are some accessory exercises that are machine-based that could range in the upper endurance rep range of 12-20.


What type of food to eat while cutting
  • lean meat and poultry, oily fish and eggs
  • milk, yogurt, and low-fat cheese
  • whey, hemp, rice, and peas
  • beans and pulses
  • nuts and seeds
  • avocados, olive oil, and olives
  • whole grains such as brown rice and pasta, oats, whole grain bread, barley, and quinoa
