I think you should readt the cutting sticky. There's a lot of room for improvement.

Milk? WHy not drink coke?

[SwoleCat]

Find another approach before you begin.

Bad_Man's suggestion about the cutting thread is a good one.

~SC~

im not really trying to go all out and cut down, my diet isnt to great now and im sittin about 8%, i just wanted to eat healtheir and get a lil leaner for summer time

[bad_man]

Sorry, I don't know how NOT to go all out.

[dr.shred]

I would def cut out the milk.

oh ya and at this, ive been hering alot of ppl saying not to drink so much milk?? i always thought that milk was good for ya when ur into lifting weights to much fat not enough or what im lost with this matter, and if not milk then i guess just some water or some orange juice throughout the day??

[justin2305]

Sorry, I don't know how NOT to go all out.

i feel that bro, but im not competing so im not gonna kill myself for no reason u no just want to stay lean and healthy

milk has a lot of sugar in it.

oic thanks

What kind of shakes are those? I'm getting around 200 grams of protien - not incuding your shakes. I really doubt that diet equals 400+grams of protien and 3900-4000 calories.

Word. Milk is basically sugar water, regardless of the fat content.

[alphaman]

Looks more like a bulking diet, than a cutting diet.

Dont over dramatize milk bro. I think comparing it to coke is about as over the top as comparing white bread to whole wheat. Not all sugars are created equal and certainly lactose is far and away different than high fructose corn syrup.
The biggest issue I see in the diet is the number of calories consumed and the choice of white rice in meal two. I dont see a PWO shake or PPWO meal which is something I would alter. I could live with the milk in meal one given the amount of fiber and protein consumed in conjunction. That should limit the GI response. With that said about meal #1, I dont see much reason for the 2 C milk in meal #5. If you want a dairy product for calcium needs why not go with cheese in your eggs instead?

I would go with something similar to this:
Meal #1 P/C (oats)
Meal #2 P/F
Meal #3 P/F
Meal #4 P/C (PWO) [post workout shake]
Meal #5 P/C (PPWO)
Meal # 6 P/F

yeah fatfreecottage cheese shud always replace milk if your searching for long lasting amino's / casein.

cyto gainer/900cals and 52g pro. per serving, and yes i did all the math and wrote everything down those numbers are very close if not right on the dot

[alphaman]

How many carbs are in those shakes? Sounds like a lot. Anything that says gainer probably isn't optimal for fat loss.

justin truthfully, you know what your doing. think your 18 years old, and your body fat is 8 percent. and you drink milk all the time and you eat hot pockets, you never have had a diet and your bf is low, and ive never seen you do cardio EVER lol, come on man, just do what you want. at 18 years old and weighing in a 180 with 8 percent body fat and benching 405, i think you know what your body needs. just eat like you have, just add cardio to your workouts and you will lean up a little more!
