Advice on cutitng diet (macro's included)

[VictorsMan]

Hey everyone, this is my first post on AR. I'm looking for any advice and feedback on my planned cutting diet. This will be my first real cutting diet. I am currently 23 yrs old, 5'10 260lbs. Sedentary up until today. My goal is to get back to 195 @ about 13% bf My plan looks like this;

6:30am- Cardio 30-40 mins

7:30- 10 Egg Whites 170 cal/36 pro carb/2/1
1 cup Oatmeal – 297 cal/11 pro/55 carb/5 fat
Totals:Cal-467/ Pro- 47/ Carb- 57/ Fat-6

10:00- Protein shake 2 tbsp flax
470 cals/ 44 protein/ 13 carb/ 27 fat

1:00- Chicken breast 210 cals, 43 protein
Sweet potato 180 cals/ 40 carb/ 4 pro
Totals: cals-390/ pro-47/ carb-40

2:30- Work-out

3:30-PWO shake 50g whey/oatmeal
Calories-450 Pro-50 Carb-56

5:00- Chicken Breast, Broccoli, 1 cup brown rice
Cals- 410 Pro-44 Carb- 42

8:00- Can Tuna 220 cals/0 carb/ 40 pro/ 5 fat
Natty pb 210 cals/ 6 carb/ 8 protein/ 16 fat

Macro Totals for day:

Calories:2,617 Protein:280 Carbs: 258 Fats: 64

I see that my protein seems kind of low but im not sure where i can add more. Based on my weight 260*1.5 i shoud be eating atleast 390grams of protein. Seems like a lot to me. Any and all advice/critizism more than welcome. Thanks

• In meal 2, replace the shake with solid foods; pro/carb meal.
• Remove the dex/malto mix PWO, replace with oats.
• More veggies, dark green.
• You can start with that amount of carbs, but if you find you aren’t loosing enough slower taper until proper fat loss occurs.
• 280 protein is sufficient.

Good luck.

Your Macros should be around
Cals/Pro/Carbs/Fat
3000/350/150/120

If you're interested in salvaging some muscle mass then, I might suggest having your macros a little higher and reduce them as needed. You might become catabolic. The Cals and Carbs are really your variables you should pay attention to.
