Need Some Help With A Cutting Diet
I've been on a lean bulking diet for about 5 months now and have seen significant size and strength gains. I've leveled off now as far as weight goes and am wanting to cut up, lose bf%, and achieve that lean, hard look (want to see some abs and striations and get those veins popping). I'm 22 yrs. old, 6'3" 230 lbs and I have no idea what my bf% is...probably around 15%. My current diet is as follows:
AM Cardio (45 mins of walking on an inclined treadmill or elliptical)
Meal 1:
1 whole egg, 5 egg whites
1 scoop whey protein in water
1 cup broccoli
1 tbsp. flax
1 tsp. glutamine
(pro/fat)
Meal 2:
8oz. Chicken breast
2 cups broccoli
1 tbsp. of flax
(pro/fat)
Meal 3:
2 scoops whey protein in water
1 tbsp. flax
(pro/fat)
Meal 4:
2 scoops whey protein in water
1 whole egg, 3 egg whites
1 tbsp. flax
(pro/fat)
Workout
Meal 5:
2 scoops of whey in water
1 tsp. creatine (5g)
60 grams of dextrose
multivitamins
(pwo pro/carb)
Meal 6:
8 oz. Chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
2 cups broccoli
(ppwo pro/carb)
Totals:
2956 calories 108 g fat 148 g carbs 364 g protein
How would you change this diet to make it suitable for cutting up (Drop the creatine, less fat/carbs, etc...)? Also, I have to lift in the evenings because of my class schedule, so that explains the carbs in the last couple of meals...I'm also very carb sensitive and gain extremely easily. Finally, I've been drinking a ridiculous amount of water because of the creatine (2-3gal/day)...Should I cut the water down signifcantly while cutting and maybe throw in a thermogenic, caffeine, and/or green tea? Thanks for all of ya'lls help!!!
