a lower calorie profile allowing you to eat meals at higher volumes while still cutting. Sleep at a set time consistently to prevent late night binging. Drink 0.5-0.75 oz of water per lb of bw throughout the day to curb hunger. For macros 0.8-1g of protein, 1-2g of carb, and 0.3-0.5g of fat per lb of bw. As you go deeper in the cut be aware of your fat intake as going too low can affect horomones.
