50/20/30 Diet - Calorie deficit = ?

[Arkan]

Hi

I'm going to begin a 50/20/30 P/C/F diet tomorow and then I may go on to a CKD.

I've worked out what my BMR calorie intake is but what kind of calorie deficit should I go for 20%? or is that to much?

Any sugestions appreciated.

I would suggest staying at 5-10%, over 10% usually causes you to be sluggish and puts you in a negative nitrogen balance.
