Is my Diet good?

[gp170]

I currently have been working out for 4 years. I have been serious and very consistent for the past 1 1/2. I was 5"8 144 lbs last year and now Im 170lbs. Im very happy with my results, but the bulking has left me with a good amount of BF. You can see upper abs slightly, I disburse fat pretty evenly. I look fit but I have a slight gut. My goal is to lose some fat and try to stay around the same weight. I want to bulk again but I want to be leaner when I start.

IMO its not too bad! Although if you are trying to cut i would tell you that i think the carbs are too high. And how does the calories fit in with your TDEE BECAUSE 5'8 170 SURE DOESNT SOUND LIKE A CUTTING CYCLE WITH 3100 CALS,THATS WHAT I CUT ON AND IM ABOUT 215?...TOP

skip this, have Breakfast instead

Breakfast:
1 Whole egg
3 Egg Whites
1 Cup Oatmeal (Oatmeal Cereal)
1 Cup Low-Fat Milk
add a few more whites; not a big fan of milk, esp. on a cut; no oatmeal cereal, just rolled oats

Snack:

4 oz Deli Turkey
2 Slices Whole Wheat Bread
1 Slice Swiss
1 Medium Banana

no deli meats; go for grilled chicken breast or fish; skip the bread, go for a better carb source like beans or a potato; banana is not a good cutting fruit IMO, go for berries instead (or maybe have some veggies)


Lunch:
6 oz Protein (Turkey, Chicken, Tuna, Tilapia, Lean Steak)
1 Baked Potato
8 oz Broccoli

Snack:
10 oz. Fresh Spinach
 

3 Hard-Boiled Eggs
1 Tbsp Peanut Butter

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
skip the olive oil

Preworkout:
1 Scoop Super Pump 250
1 Apple
when is this meal occurring in terms of hours before your workout and after your snack? seems like this coming kind of close to both, so maybe you can adjust the previous meal (snack) to become your pre-workout feeding

Postworkout:
1 Scoop 12 Hour Protein
5 grams Glutamine
2 Cups Watermelon
watermelon is misunderstood b/c of it's high GI, but low GL; ideally here, you want the best of both worlds, so pick a sugar like glucose or dextrose; when bulking, I'll have like half of a french baguette b/c of it's GI/GL ratio

Dinner:

8 oz Lean Protein (Chicken or Fish)

1 Cup Brown Rice

8 oz Green Beans
go for quinoa if you can, but brown rice is fine


Bedtime (Anti-Catabolism):
1 Scoop 12 Hour Protein
5 grams Glutamine
casein protein here, preferably from a food source

Calories: 3,100 Carbs: 310 Protein: 245 Fat: 65

you have 9 feedings, yet you really only need 6 (max 7)

you should consider dropping pre-breakfast and pre-workout

Reasoning for the high calories are because I dont wanna lose to much weight, Im a hardgainer so the weight that I put on was really hard to get. Maybe the word cutting is misleading. I want to lean down a bit.

Turkey alot of good suggestions there. Besides the sodium why dont you like the deli meat, its turkey not ham or anything.

Olive oil is very little and only used to sauté the spinach. If you look my fat is only 10% of my diet and that is considered pretty low. You do need some fat, so i prefer to get it from a good source.

Preworkout I wouldn't consider a meal its just an apple, I use it for the complex carbs.

and yes, the bedtime shake is a casein mix protein.

Thanks for the suggestions, I would consider a few things and go from there. Anyone else have any advice???

Besides the sodium why dont you like the deli meat, its turkey not ham or anything.

deli meat:

-just has too many random ingredients
-the best brands are actually more expensive per lb than buying it raw (e.g. Boars' head chicken beast is $9.99 a lb, while I get raw chicken cutlets for $3.99 a lb)
-very perishable
-too watery/slimy IMO b/c of the added water;

on that note, take into account all the water weight you're paying for over time since cold cuts like turkey and ham have a significant amount of water added

[PO OFFICER]

It won't really make that big of a difference if it's deli or not.
