2500-2800 cals perday, four meals, one is a shake
U need to drop those cals by like 1000
But otherwise
You know what. I remember I was 185 when I was like 17. I was far from 3% and I havent grown height wise since. @MMSex is prolly right.
Anywhoo, it's gym time for me
its not about me being right or wrong
the key for you is realizing weight is irrelevant in the first place
the biggest thing is:
maintaining/increasing strength to ensure muscle preservation
cutting enough calories daily to have a consistent deficit
if both are done, youll lose fat
every 20lbs reconvening to assess what your new maintenance is
no better time than to start your new life tomorrow
