    Help with cutting workout

    Hey guys, I've been reading posts around here for a while but this is my first time posting one myself. Anyway, I've been working out for a couple years out kind of off and on, but I'm pretty serious about it again at this time. I'm pretty confident with my size and strength but I'd like my body fat to be lower so I've decided to try out the cutting diet from the cutting sticky up top.
    I pretty much identically matched the sample diet that he posted, because it's for a 200 person person with 15% body fat, and I'm 6'1 and 1/2 200 and roughly 15% body fat.
    Anyway I was just wondering if anyone could maybe help me out with it, I read through the entire document and understood it for the most part, but the sample diet itself is kind of confusing to me. So could someone help me turn it into something I could actually follow?

    Meal 1:
    Lean Protein, 1/2 cup oatmeal

    Meal 2:
    Protein shake/Lean Protein (2 tbsp flax

    Meal 3:
    Veggies, Lean Protein

    Workout

    Meal 4:
    PWO Nutrition

    Meal 5:
    Veggies, Lean Protein, 1/2 cup rice or oatmeal.

    Meal 6:
    Shake with Flax

    Mainly I just don't know what to have when he mentions lean protein and how much of it i need, and I don't know what to have for the PWO Nutrition. I know it might be kind of a hassle, but if anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    diet seems fine

    lean protein = lean meat(chicken, beef, pork, turkey, etc) about 40-45g per sitting..

    PWO Nutrition = Post WorkOut Shake with dextrose and protein.. 2 to 1 ratio (ie 50g of dex 25g of protein) this has to be liquid.. and it would aso be a good idea to take a r-ala and biotin with it..

    also if your doing cardio, which you should be doing, scrap the oatmeal and keep it fat/protein...

    if you are cutting.. lose the oatmeal in meal#1 and add an EFA, m2 is fine, meal 3 needs an EFA, pwo, ppwo are fine, m6 is fine.

    Edit: Also, what exactly is dextrose and where could I buy it at, I couldn't find it over @ AllSportsNutrition.com.

    40-45 grams of protein.

    www.kentnutrition.com has dextrose
    www.thebetterhealthstore.com has dextrose


    its a simple sugar, used to spike your insulin levels to bring the protein into the muscles faster

    green beans are good the fiberous vegetable carbs slide right through untouched by the body which is why the adkins people don't count them as "net" carbs

    also in the cutting sticky I noticed it saying something about not eating/drinking dairy products, so are the "shakes" i take just supposed to be taken with water?

    Actualy green beans are 1/2 fiber based carbs and only like 25 calories per 2/3 cup serving with no fat. That means you could fill up on beans and still consume less than 10 net grams of carbs. I am a chef and also a certified nutritionist. I base my life and profession on knowing these facts for diabetics and patients of the like.

    Just season them with some potassium chloride, and garlic add some white wine if you would like and finish it with some benecol that way you get good fats garlic and fiber. No protein but it is a good side to some poached salmon

    Or you could do the lazy method like me and just boil them in water and add pepper to them... Also IMHO the canned ones are gross and mushy, get fresh or at least frozen if you can't get fresh.

    you are right but you still need to blanch them before you saute' unless you like them very crunchy.
