I think you are using shakes instead of real food to much. You need to keep your proteins up if you are trying to cut, but you also need to eat. Food intake is important.

"5-10 165 lean 49 fat 214 pounds do i need more of any of them?"
I am not sure what you mean here.

OK then what should I do different? instead of protein shakes?the first one i took in the morning is because to avoid muscle loss then the second one for post workout and then the third one at night for muscle loss prevention. what should i do instead? and you said keep my protein up? so how many more g of protein should i take on a daily basis?

if your wanting to add mass then bump your protien closer to 400g a day.

eat lots of tuna,chicken,lean meat, egg whites, ect. If your still cutting then lower the carbs and eat as much protien rich food as you can.

i personally drink atleast 3 shakes a day, sometimes 4

230pm 2 fats
830pm 3.5 cups

What do these entries mean? It's a low carb diet you are following right? Low carb protein powder in water + glutamine for your drinks yeah?

It seems a reasonable diet bro, how is it going so far?

I don't like your workout plan though I have to say - you are affecting your triceps on Friday, Saturday, and sunday.... gulp!

You will see a nice reduction in weight, but be realistic in your bodyfat percentage expectaions. I have know people to lose 25 lbs in 12 weeks but never go from 23 to 12% bf in such a short period. Usually bf% reduction comes through training on a long term basis AND a targeted diet. At least that has been my experience.
