here’s some ideas.
im at 240ish now (down from 251-255) and still dropping lbs/body fat at 2800-3400 cals a day.
everyone is different but i find it hard to believe your maintenance is roughly 2000 cals a day.[/quote]
so do you agree i should be taking in around 2,300-500 and progressively cut it down from there?

I think that maybe eat at maintenance for a month or so then make a 20% decrease
I also think you should be pretty consistent with your calories from day to day and the only differences really should be off days or days you go light in the gym.
I also think for someone your bf level that 2500 cals doesn’t leave you a lot of room to work with. meaning your first decrease may be 500 cals or so, but then after the next couple decreases you’ll be eating as much as a school girl and probably unsatisfied with your body fat level.
but i am no cutting guru I too am learning through trial and error right now.
