BMR
I used the following equation to calculate my Basal Metabolic Rate to figure out exactly how many calories I needed and eat 500 calories or no more than 20% less than your maintenance to get lean.
Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in yrs)
The BMR is the number of calories your body burns in a given day (unless you are overweight or extremely muscular).
Your BMR multiplied by your activity factor should give you a good estimate for how many calories daily your body will need, this number is called your Total Daily Energy Expenditure or TDEE, use the Activity Factors listed below for calculations:
Activity Factor
BMR x 1.2 (little to no exercise, desk job)
BMR x 1.375 (gym 1-3 days/wk)
BMR x 1.55 (gym 3-5 days/wk)
BMR x 1.725 (gym 6-7 days/wk)
BMR x 1.9 (gym 7 days/wk; twice daily; extreme training) I used this formula because I am at the gym at least 10 times a week
So now you have your BMR X Activity Factor = TDEE

Every week from now I drop my calories by 100... until I'm sitting at 2000 cal @ 2 weeks out.
My BMR was 3000cals per day to maintain. I dropped it to 2500 because I am cutting.
You can up yours by 500-1000cal if you want to bulk. I keep my carbs around training though.
So using 2500 cals as a total daily calorie intake I made my diet.
I weigh anything and everything that goes into my mouth excluding my broccoli... as it takes more calories for your body to digest the food than what it supplies your body with. So the more the better really.
I do not cheat and I don't miss a meal. I also don't go over my calorie count. You can maybe afford to go over because you are bulking. But keep it clean or else it gets messy and when you do want to cut it becomes more of an effort.
I know it sounds sad but at the moment this is all I care about.
