This seems dangerously low, during a cut I eat about 2500 - 2700 calories. How tall are you, what is your body fat? How often do you exercise? Do you sit for you occupation or do you need to walk about? This all matters.consuming 1300 calories or less
No. Overtime, fat will turn into muscle or burn away if you are exercising. The only non-heathy way would be by starving yourself or going on a water diet to reach part of your goal. Both, I wouldn't suggest. I recommend a hybrid KETO. I say hybrid as if you do not mix it up a bit, you will develop chronic constipation; which is not fun.1. Cutting from 170 to 155 ( consuming 1300 calories or less )
2. Getting Stronger/building muscle but at MINIMUM maintaining muscle/strength.
Thanks.
Anyone here ever done this? or is this too much
Agree with other posters... too much at once. Best to not rush these things. If nothing else, going too fast means you set yourself up for a rebound.1. Cutting from 170 to 155 ( consuming 1300 calories or less )

I was similar stats and initial goals. It took me couple months only. What I did was increase caloric intake and add protein and do hard sprints for couple hours every other day. When I tried to do it every day, I hurt myself. Lifting only three or four days a week at the same time. It was really grueling. Everything got much stronger and the fat just disapeared, abs popped out, was drinking an insane amount of water, like a camel or elephant. Had to cut the run time some, just could not eat enough. at some times in the morning, the desire to eat was just crazy.1. Cutting from 170 to 155 ( consuming 1300 calories or less )

You are doing way to much. I advise 3 days of lifting and 2 day of cardio. I don't know your age, but I assume it to be 30, with the rest of the data you provided you should eat about 2400-2500 during a healthy cut. This is with the 5 days of exercise. Also, don't try and increase strength during a cut, focus on mainting it. Bulking if for strength gains. Last peace of advice, don't cut for more then 3 months, it's too much stress on the body. See attached.i am 5'7 currently at 173.8 and 3 weeks @ 179
i am consuming 1700 calories daily
Getin 6 hours sleep daily + 45 min nap
i sit on pc for most part. I burn 1000 calories on eliptical daily for ALMOST a month now.. i am trying to lose body % from 20 to 13-14 is near term goal. I lift weights every other day on top of the daily 1000 calorie burn on top of the 1700bmr.
ANd it seems i've only lost 6 to 7 lbs..
I am getting stronger..able to to do an extra .5 to 3 reps per week on specific muscles..some musles @ .5 extra rep
Just weigh yourself daily and figure out what maintenance calories is.i am 5'7 currently at 173.8 and 3 weeks @ 179

Don't always be the one putting yourself out for her. Don't always be the one putting all the effort and work into the relationship. Let her, and expect her, to treat you as well as you treat her, and to improve the quality of your life.

5 days per week of exercise is too much. It means you’re either on steroids or the workouts are too easy.You are doing way to much. I advise 3 days of lifting and 2 day of cardio. I don't know your age, but I assume it to be 30, with the rest of the data you provided you should eat about 2400-2500 during a healthy cut. This is with the 5 days of exercise.

I didn't say he couldn't. I said daily cardio plus lifting every other day was to much. I gave him advice on a healthy cut, if he doesn't want to listen, fine.You *CAN* build muscle and lose fat at the same time.
This is exactly what I suggested him, based on the numbers he gave me.Just weigh yourself daily and figure out what maintenance calories is.
Once you've figured that out, subtract 200 calories. And see what that causes you to lose per week.
I definitely know his plan is UNhealthyNone of us can tell you what 'healthy' is.
Why are you quoting me as if I addressed you when I didn’t?I didn't say he couldn't. I said daily cardio plus lifting every other day was to much. I gave him advice on a healthy cut, if he does want to listen, fine.
I can quote anyone I want to.Why are you quoting me as if I addressed you when I didn’t?
And I never really answered your question. I think for a well executed cut just below a kilo a week is on par, so 0,8-0,9 kilo/week.Is it possible/healthy to lose 2.50 lbs a week by
