Cutting & Macro Cycling Protocol (155 lb Female)
Clinical calorie and macro cycling schedule for a 70.3 kg (155 lb) woman: 1,880 kcal training days, 1,410 kcal rest days, and 135g protein.
A 155 lb female (25% body fat, 116.3 lb LBM) on a fat loss cut should consume 1812 kcal on training days and 1357 kcal on rest days (-25% deficit). Lock protein at 134g daily with 220g carbs on lifting days to maintain strength while oxidizing 0.8 lb fat weekly.

Clinical Nutrient Standards to Hit Your Calculated Targets
Micro-Filtered Grass-Fed Whey Isolate Standard
28g Protein • 3.3g L-Leucine • <0.2g Lactose • 110 kcal
Delivers 42% of your 134g daily protein target in two low-volume servings while crossing the 3.0g leucine mTORC1 trigger.
Free-Form Essential Amino Acids (EAA) + Soluble Prebiotic Fiber
3.5g L-Leucine • 8g Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum • Zero Gastric Heaviness
Engineered for patients experiencing early satiety on Semaglutide or Tirzepatide who need maximal myofibrillar preservation without meal volume.
Micronized Creatine Monohydrate (5g) + Quantitative Electrolytes
5g Pure Monohydrate • 1,000mg Sodium • 200mg Potassium • 60mg Magnesium
Supports intracellular water retention, ATP resynthesis during resistance training, and electrolyte balance during fasting or sauna protocols.

Clinical Analysis: Cutting & Macro Cycling Protocol (155 lb Female)
At 155 lbs and 25% body fat, this female carries 116.3 lbs of Lean Body Mass. Employing MATADOR-style intermittent energy restriction (maintenance on 4 training days, -25% deficit on 3 rest days) maintains high exercise capacity while generating a predictable 3,100+ kcal weekly deficit.
Key Execution Takeaways for This Profile
- Maintain 135g protein daily (1.16g per lb LBM) across all 7 days.
- Refeed with 225g carbohydrates on training days to maximize workout performance.
- Taper carbs to 105g on rest days to trigger AMPK-mediated fat burning.

Profile-Specific Questions & Answers
How many days per week should a 155 lb woman lift on a cut?
4 days of progressive resistance training (such as an Upper/Lower split) provides the optimal stimulus to preserve lean mass during caloric deficits.
When should I take a diet break at 155 lbs?
After 8 to 12 weeks of continuous cutting, implement a 1- to 2-week diet break at full maintenance calories (1,880 kcal daily) to restore leptin and thyroid hormones.
