Newbie here, please help

I am 5'10- 165

I want to cut up

I am confused by this:
Carbs: 1-1.2g / # body weight
Protein: 2g./ # body weight

Do you multiply carbs times bodyweight
or do you divide it

With protein do you divide by two or multiply
I know these are silly questions so thanx.

Also, for the part about calories. should I start at 2500 and then cut down 200 more every week till about 1600. How long should I be cutting up. If I do everything right.

thanx for any help.

You multiply the carbs and protein by your bodyweight (E.G. 2g protein x 150lbs (bodyweight) = 300g protein/day)



"Also, for the part about calories. should I start at 2500 and then cut down 200 more every week till about 1600. How long should I be cutting up. If I do everything right."


Yes, start high on the calories, then cut down to 1600 calories. The time it takes you to lose weight depends on how dedicated you are to the diet and exercise - no one can give you an exact time. Just keeps doing it until you like what you see in the mirror.

Are you really in a position to cut up at 5'10 and 165?

 

[MacdaddyJr]

actually I'll bulk up a little first then cut

5'9 and 170 and you can see my ribs. Of course mines muscle but unless yours is all fat you really shoudn't worry about diet more about definition.

My opinion

Tell me Falcon, do you actually work at posting stuff that makes no sense or is it a natural talent? Either way you seem amazingly adept at it. I implore you to keep your crap for the other forums and stay out of this one. It is genuinely painful trying to weed out your "contributions".
