Hi, so I (25M 6’1)have been trying to cut weight for the last month or two and have been semi consistent and ive dropped like 15lbs so far. I started at 223 and yesterday after birthday dinner/dessert i weighed in at 210.4 so realistically i probably weigh around 207-208 right now.

My cut goal is around 185, basically i wanna be lean instead of having a gut from the past year of eating shitty and binge drinking.

I use chatgpt a lot to help me understand my goals, estimate cals, calculate TDEE etc. Ive also taken a test online that calculated my TDEE to be right around 3500 cals.

Now, ive been running a diet of mostly whole foods (when im dialed in and not caving in to cravings) and sticking to just about 2500-2600 cals/day, which would put me at a 900-1000kcal deficit right?

Well, summers almost here and i want to run a bit of a more aggressive cut for like 2-3 weeks. I was thinking literally like 1600kcals a day for that period. Is that realistic? Gpt tells me no based on my activity daily.

For a little background: i work in the pool industry and im on the construction crew so im constantly helping with pouring concrete, digging trenches, carrying tons of heavy shit to and from sites etc. I also bike to and from work (3.5km one way) and workout pretty intensely 5+ times a week in the gym.

If i cut all carbs out of my diet except pwo and after workout meals (and maybe a little bit in the morning to help me get going)and keep protein around 180g/day, is this doable?
