I'm 6'0 221 25% BF.

Wanting to lose 2 lbs per week and BF. It says my maintenance calories is 3350. I'm doing the HST program 5 days a week.
 
I would eat at 3000. It's not a huge deficit, but with 5 day a week training, it should enable you to lose 1-2 lbs a week.
 
make your calculations based on the fact that you will lose 1 lb per every 3,500 calories you burn; so you can spread the 3,500 calories in 3 days or 1 week or the number of days you wish... however, I have read it is not advisable to lose more than 2 lbs per week and in other places no more than 1% of your body weight per week... if you do, you may lose muscle mass
