Post the rest of your macros. as long as your eating below your maintenance you'll lose weight. I never drop carbs too low because I get low on energy. Plus im a such an ******* when Im cutting, I hate being hungry, so carbs are kinda essential to me that way I dont kill the people I live with.

 

Low CARB?

150-180 carbs is already low..
Some people find it necessary to carb cycle (look it up if unaware) in order to get into single digit body fat. I just started my cut and will start carb cycling soon just because alot of people have suggested it. Honestly, I don't think it's 100% necessary but speeds the process up.

If I were you I would cut out some of the fats and up your carbs just a little.
The way I look at it is: The easier the cut, the easier it is to maintain the cut.

I started cutting a month ago haha, Tell me something yall. Have you guys ever grown on a cut?? Im talking about strength and size??
This is my second official cut and On both I've gained ALOT of strength and some size. I have my macros down to a T and I have been dropping BF% yet I lift more.
