I like the food choices but a quick guestimate has that well under 2000 calories. I think you are going to need more food. I would add in more fats and carbs. How much cardio do you plan on doing?

[CoreyJoseph]

Well currently im doing 30mins of cardio some days mild intensity other days interval I try to do 5 days a week. My body is very carb sensitive Im able to gain quickly but cutting is this issue I'm willing to take advice and listen to people not just gonna blow off what I dont want to hear. What are your suggestions?

[FireGuy]

I would start off around 2400-2600 calories and see how that works for you. I would tend to increase cardio from there as opposed to decrease calories to get past sticking points that will come up. I think you will hold more muscle and lose the fat just as fast that way as opposed to going 1700 calories and less cardio.

[CoreyJoseph]

Ok sounds good what are your suggestions in my diet? As in like food increases and meals?

[FireGuy]

I would use the same foods you already picked out and run a good ole fashioned 40-40-20 macro split at around 2500 calories. So about 250g protein, 250g carbs and 55g fat.

[CoreyJoseph]

Alright So for example meal #2 throw in 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Meal #3 1 medium Yam

yes you need more food , and if your carb sensitive try ala and chromium with each carb meal,
if your going to have a no carb meal try cla caps for fat burning , they work
also make sure all food calories are done at least 3 hours before bedtime, so when your pituitary secretes growth hormone, there wont be any food in the system to block it,
waking up to a leaner physique daily, times of the day to secret growth and burn alot of fat is while training and while sleeping , an empty stomach on both senarios works
in laymens terms yes more food and do your cardio

[CoreyJoseph]

Lord, Do you still suggest the Flax with my shakes and what exactly is ala? I must of missed out on that one in Chemistry lab haha. So ill add more veggies carbs as well as protein Do you suggest eating until I'm full protein wise like do not measure 6 ounces just eat a portion until full?
