    Please Critique My Cutting Diet

    I have done the research and have come up with a cutting diet. My goal is to cut down my bodyfat by about 2 or 3% in 3 months. I have been working on bulking for the last six months and have taken my weight from about 163 to up to just under 177. Most of the wight is lean muscle but there are signs of "bulking" and holidays mostly in my mid section. I would say I am about 11 or 12% bf currently and am looking to push single digits. Please critique my diet. Here are my stats and my workout splits including cardio (I'll send Pics soon).
    25yrs 5' 8" 177lbs @12%bf

    W/O Splits
    Back and Biceps
    Shoulders and Triceps
    Legs
    Chest and Calves

    Cardio
    3 days 45-60 mins Stair stepper (or bike or run) @ 70-75% MRH
    2 days 30-40 mins (see above)

    I hope to start my new routine Next week or so. My goal date is March 28th Cruise to Jamaica. Thanks in advance for the help!!!

    I never saw the reason to add fat if you didnt really need it? Does it help with absorbtion or something? I sometimes have a protein only meal does it really matter steve0?

    well if you count the fat in his diet it comes out to 27 grams, he dosnt even have any Flax in his diet, i would at least through down 1 tbls a day it will help maintain some muscle as well as strength, as for asorbtion fat basically just slows down the time of absorbtion to keep u feeling fuller longer, i myslef sometimes just have protein only meals as well, it may work for some specially if your gettinegh fat but to me 27 grams of fat per day seems very low

    i beleive muscle milk is a great product, its kindda exspensive but worth it if you can afford it, 1 shake a day is a pretty good idea.

    thanks for the help on that.. i use it now and was wondering if it was too much fat per serving.. ill stick to the one a day. i also use another whey protien with low fat and carbs and cals.

    also.. how much do you guys pay for the mm? i get it for 22 bucks is that good?
