Been deiting like a champion.
>Losing average of 2.6 lbs per week eating 2300 kCal target per week....
>immaculate macros...
>fear losing muscle
Should I eat a bit more.... say 2400/ 2450 to slow down the weight loss to the recommended 1 - 2 lbs per week?
(I'm a muscle fat trying to get sexy, got about 50 lbs to lose.....)

Is it like your first week on a deficit? If it is, I wouldn't worry about losin 2.6 lbs
If you lose that much on a weekly basis, then you're probably losing muscle. This week, it's probably just water, and the new diet.

That the weekly average of 4 weeks of deficit.

I'm pretty fat though....1% of 270 = 2.7
I heard some where that losing 1% of body weight when you are a fat fuck is acceptable.
I'm pretty strong and stocky naturally though. Dont want to end up a weak little bitch....

is this guy natty?
If you're lifting and hitting your protons you should be fine. That rate of weight loss is aggressive but not unhealthy if it's all nutrient-dense calories.
If you have a lot of fat, calculate your protein based on your goal weight, so if your goal is 220 make sure you get at least 176 g (for 0.8 g protein per lb of bodyweight). This will keep you from losing muscle, and then if you can keep up the huge deficit you're good.
