Have you lost fat on a 10% deficit? I have heard exercise nutritionists (like Layne Norton, Bill Campbell) theorize that people have a calorie range that people can eat within and maintain their body weight. According to them, you have to get BELOW the lower limit to lose and weight and ABOVE the upper limit to gain weight. This seems bad, from the fat loss perspective, because you have to do a significant cut to lose fat. I would guess greater than 10%. But the upside is that, once you've hit your goal weight, you can gradually "reverse diet"--push your calories up slowly and gradually, to try to eat more, at the upper limit of your range, without gaining weight.Cut down calories until you start losing weight. 10% calorie deficit would be great.
