Too low for a big guy. If you were legitamately doing 3500 cals previously, I'd go in 500 cal increments downwards, no lower than 2000 cals, to find a comfort zone.

When you restrict calories too severely, you'll end up losing more muscle mass than fat, which is no good for any man.

For me, I aim for a 40-40-20 split between calories from protein-carbs-fat and that works really well for my individual needs. Others may suggest different ratios, but never more than 30% fat, for sure.
