Your food choices are good but the diet as a whole is poor. You have a breakfast with tons of carbs - high GI, low GI, complex, simple, fructose, lactose - you name it that also contains fat. Also, a PPWO meal that contains fruit, fat, and rice. Meanwhile, your other meals contain no energy at all. Also, you're last meal is a fast-acting protein supplement that's supposed to provide sustained nutrition over 8 hours of sleep.

Carbs to fuel activity, fat to spare protein later in the day. Re-distribute like this:

1: 15-20g protein via meat/eggs, 1 scoop protein, 1 cup oats (no milk, PB, fruit)
2: 2 scoops protein, 1/2 cup oats, 2 oz. pineapple
3: 6 oz. turkey breast, half cup brown rice
4: tuna, fibrous greens, 1/2 avocado (the peas/tomatoes have more sugar than broccoli, asparagus, kale, etc)
5: 6 oz. salmon, Broccoli, 1/2 avocado
6: 1 scoop casein powder with 1 tbs PB OR 1 cup 1% cottage cheese with 1 tbs PB


Most important of all is tracking cals/macros. You can't cut to a low bf% without consistently tracking everything that you put in your mouth to the tee.

^^^^ Exactly.

What you have posted above might be an okay diet to get you from 16% to say 14% but then your BF reduction will stall.

Tracking every cal and macro is a must if you want to get to 8% or 10%.

Everything you put in your mouth needs to be for a purpose based on your bodies' needs at that time of day, not b/c it tastes good or you enjoy it or want it.

IMO, PB, fruit, and milk (even skim) have no place in a strict cutting diet. Peas are not a good vegetable choice either, you want to stick with fibrous veggies not starchy veggies.

Good luck bro.

cheers guys, im going to stick to a diet like this for a couple of weeks see how i get on, then after that might step it up to the next level and get more and more strict. do you think this diet is good for still gaining lean muscle and not loosing muscle mass just b,f ??
thanks again

Dude, that diet isn't good for any goal, lol. No reason not to change it to the layout I provided ASAP. It's inferior in every way.
