Calories in transition from bulking to cutting

[Monkey Man]

Just finished my first ever bulk :grin: and now am transitioning into my cut...

Do you guys take like a week of gradually lowering you're calories (for example 100 calories a day) until you reach a certain deficit (eg.500 cals)

Or do you just go straight into you 500 cal (or whatever it is) deficit?

Does it really matter or is it just personal preference?

id suggest aiming for a slight reduction to start... 200-300 cals and then see how that goes and adjust if needed

Slight reduction fella. A good way to do it is take out sauces and added fats first before cutting calories by removing whole foods. I found (given I clean bulk) just removing the sauces ect is enough for the first 3-4 weeks with an increase in cardio (none to some :pfft: )

Thats a good idea, but sadly I didn't use a shit load of sauces and I ate a lot of starchy carbs

One month away im gonna want my 1000 calorie pancakes back (clean but a f*ck load of carbs)

And wouldn't you keep fats pretty much the same bro? Well, unless you had more than 100 grams a day
