I’m down 10 lbs and am currently at 22% bf, starting to see more definition but am definitely pretty small under there above the waist. I’d like to maybe build out my back a bit more. Wondering what a good point is to target for a cut to end before starting to try to add weight. My original target of 150 would put me at ~12% which might be a little too lean and I’m reading might make muscle gain more difficult later. Also am generally sick of dieting and the macro requirements are really starting to bite (my TDEE is probably 2500-2700 and MacroFactor has me eating just shy of 2k, I am very tired). Also it just seems like bulking through the holidays makes more sense socially.

I definitely still have fat to lose and don’t want to run the clock back on 3 months of progress, but am having trouble deciding when to stop.
