What do they mean by this

I'd say anywhere between 8-10% (if you want visible abs). Anything more than that is pointless unless you're trying to go to a competition or something.

You can do this by calculating your TDEE, then multiplying it by anywhere from 20-30% (depending on how fast you'd to cut), then by subtracting that many calories from your diet. Also, make sure the type of calories you're eating fit into your MACROS. Don't be eating a bunch of fast/junk food expecting to have visible abs.

The harder you cut, the more muscle your body eats along with the fat to stay alive. Read the sticky

I'm also eating around 1500 calories on my cut. I think the most important thing to minimize muscle loss is lift heavy and high volume training. Also get adequate protien in your diet. Even if you do lose a little muscle you can easily get it back on your next bulk.

>not doing weekly 48 hour fasts for EEEEZZZZ mode cuts

You guys REALLY need to try this. Cutting is a joke for me now.

>b-b-but I'll lose muh gains

You won't.
