Are you active or just sitting around? What do the 1600 calories consist of? You cut 1600, from what?

ive been cutting at 1600 calories and ive gone down from 275 to 252 im really fat am i losing muscle? and i think ive platoed what do?

>>39978247
depends

but probably not much if you're lifting heavy and getting enough protein

too many variables to make any useful estimation

lol

1600 calories maintains a 120lbs or so body

You didn't plateau, you're just not counting properly, or having more cheat days than you should (protip: calories on cheat days still count to your overall weekly intake)

i had a poutine, pizza and 4 fried chickens yesterday and I'm proud

You should not be concerned with numbers when cutting. Look in the mirror and judge your weekly progress.

Muscle should not be your main focus when losing obesity. Get healthy, then get focused on refining your muscle definition. You will not shed as much progress as you think you will.
