So I went to visit my nutritionist the other day.

I had blood work done to check my liver functions, kidney functions, and cholesterol.
Everything is good on that end. My nutritionist wanted to make sure I was healthy to start.

Anyway, I told her I was interested in doing a cut. I am currently doing IF, and want to remain doing IF because I love working out fasted.

We took my body weight, height, and BF%.
For the body fat, we used a body composition analyzer machine called Futrex 5500 XL. At my current weight and height, the machine put me at 18%. We did 3 runs to average it out. First was 17.2, second run was 18.2, and last run was 18.7. I would estimate I am between 18-20% given the values and fluctuation with the beginning input of 245lbs. (I fluctuate about 4-5 lbs every couple days)

We also inputted a bunch of other information and these are my macros.

Caloric maintenance - 2910

Caloric intake for the cut - 2410

Protein intake for the cut - 314

Carb intake for the cut - 167

Fat intake for the cut - 54

I was really surprised that my necessary protein intake is that high.

I wanted a second opinion regarding the protein. I am unsure of what formula she was using to calculate my required macros, but I told her I wanted to be a little on the conservative side, so we are starting with a deficit of 500 cals. After about a month, I'm going to re-evaluate my stats with her and we are going to make adjustments and I'm going to try for a 1k calorie deficit.

I was also asking about how to eat the carbs required because I never used to eat too many carbs, but I am going to be opting for about 2 cups of brown rice and a cup of oats every day. Any other suggestions?

Fats will just be nuts and meat.

Anyway, I appreciate your time and inputs regarding the situation. Thanks for your help.

edit : Thanks for the responses so far guys! To be clear, I am not paying her.
