16M 179lbs 6’1 - cut to 11% or recomp? need advice

[proteinshake]

Stats:
∙ 17 years old, 6’1, HTN
∙ 179.2 lbs
∙ 16% bf
∙ 143.2 lbs muscle mass
∙ 150.8 lbs fat free mass
∙ BMR 1842 kcal



Been lifting semi consistently past 3 years. Current plan is to cut down to ~169-170 at 10-11% bf over the next 10 weeks (500 cal deficit, 2100 cals, 180-200g protein) then lean bulk back up to 175 at 11% over summer.

I have puffy nipples, but not real gyno

Goal is to hit 175 at 11% bf by end of summer. That means I need to add about 5 lbs of lean mass after the cut.
Cut plan:
∙ 2100 cals, drop to 2000/1900 if stalled
∙ 180-200g protein daily
∙ keep lifting heavy 4-5x/week
∙ cardio
∙ 0.8-1 lb/week loss target
Lean bulk plan after cut:
∙ 2600-2700 cals
∙ 2 lbs/month gain target
∙ mini cut end of august to tighten back up

Is this realistic? Should I just cut harder and faster or is the slow approach better for keeping muscle at my age? Any adjustments you’d make?

recomp does not exist just commit to the cut

Muscle loss is barely a concern, ever.

The ideal way to cut is by going as quick as possible, with ~30g of fat per day and 1g protein of 1lb lean body mass. Fill the rest with as little carbs as possible. I would find highly satiating foods like potatoes/chicken breast to keep your hunger away if you don't want to use a GLP-1.

I've been following diet in this vid for the last 3 weeks for my latest cut and it has been going pretty good. Just keep a large deficit and eat nothing but potatoes + vegetables tbh. Although maybe at your age it might not be a good idea, idk. I think you can build muscle in a <500 calorie deficit at your age, depends on your genetics.
