I’m worried I’m going to end up losing more muscle than I want to

Hey y’all,

I’ve started my first ever cut about a week and a half ago and I’m worried that I am in too much of a deficit for my goals. I want to get very lean because I’ve always had some love handles on me but a decent amount of muscle.

Currently I am 217 at 6’2” as a 22 year old male. I lift 6 times a week as well as running 1.7 miles every day. I am currently eating around 2,000-2,300 calories a day so that I can have the option to go out on the weekends. I usually get around 160g of protein a day. Should I continue what I’m doing for another week or so and see if I feel better or am I just not eating enough?

Thank you!
