4 Month Cutting Cycle**

[HulkInsideMe]

Im on a 4 month cutting cycle....Here's my current stats

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 156 .lbs
BF% - <12-13>% (Maybe someone can tell from my pics below)

Im hoping to drop down to 7 or 6% BF by December 1st.

My current diet looks like this, please find something wrong if there is so i can make some adjustments.

CARDIO:

• Monday - Friday @ 7:30AM w/1capsule glutamine (On empty stomach)

Meal 1: @ 8:30AM
2 Slices of lean 97 % fatfree Turkey w/ Hand full cashews
edit 1/2 of Egg white carton
*9:00-1:00PM School

Meal 2: @ 1:30PM
3 Slices of lean 97 % fatfree Chicken on 1 Slice of wheat bread
2 tablespoon of natural peanut butter
1 Cup of Sugarfree koolaid (Need this because i drink 8 glasses of water daily)

Meal 3: @ 3:00PM
2 scoop of 100% whey in Fat free milk (Can't find dextrose or flax yet)
1 can tuna

Meal 4: @ 4:30PM
1 Bowl of salad
1 piece broccolli (hate the taste ewwww )

Meal 5: @ 6:00PM
2 Slice of Lean Ham
1 scoop of 100% whey in Fat free milk

Meal 6: @ 7:30PM
2 Slices of lean 97 % fatfree Turkey
1 piece broccolli (with eyes closed and a BIG cup of water)

WORKOUT
This is the diet that im using for my cutting.... I recently moved so im currently looking for a gym but my main focus is to get my abs showing real well. So as for a stomach workout:
2 sets / 50 reps after morning cardio
@ 6PM
4 sets / 35 reps leg raises
2 sets / 80 reps crunches
2 sets / 80 reps side crunches (40 each side)
@ 12-1AM Before bed
2 sets / 50 reps

Any Fixes ????

whoa i forgot about my egg whites in M1

[GQSuperman]

eating 2 or 3 slices of chicken or turkey won't do anything for you. you should be having entire chicken breast etc. also, having a can of tuna and yoru protein shake together is probrably over kill. as far as not eating from 9-1pm. you should try to. at least try to get a protein shake with almonds or something. follow the sticky above. you can substiture protein sources, but you can't redo redo the diet completely. your diet does't look anything like what's posted. you also need to get in the gym.

[Bigpup101]

you look a little heavier than 12-13% IMO maybe 15-17%?

eating 2 or 3 slices of chicken or turkey won't do anything for you. you should be having entire chicken breast etc.....

Im curious to know what chicken breast would be good to get? I can't cook for Sh*t so i was wondering if there's any premade chicken breast out there @ publix or maybe pollop tropical chicken breast? I think pollo won't be good for the diet tho.

[GQSuperman]

to cook. if you want a good diet, it's a must. most prepared foods aren't going to cut it when doing a cutting diet...too many other things added. simply throw chicken breasts on the grill about 5 minutes each side or throw them in the over in a glass pan wiht your favorite seasoning for around 25 minutes or so. cut them open and if they are pink, cook longer. it's not hard. if you can read, you can learn to cook. pick up a cookbook or something.

[HulkInsideMe]

Make sense... I'll try tomorrow

[HulkInsideMe]

anyone else have ideas on this diet ?

[slizzut]

Yeah have your whey in water, and never eat protein alone (meal 6).

[muff-chaser]

you definatly need to eat more protein and you need to eat more in the morning.

graduated high school at 185, after first sem at college i weighed 210 fat, my mom told me i was fat so went on a diet.

ran 4 days a week for 5 months. i ate like 7 times a dy. ate ceral in morning, then no more carbs all day. all i really ate was chicken, tuna , and beef. i ate on peice of wheat bread after workout. i lost 33 pounds but it was hell. i had abs at the beach but in my opinion it wasnt worth it, cause i worked my ass off and now 2 years later i am fat again. 200lbs. just eat meat and run and drink water, you will loose weight, it sucks though.....

its impoosible to critque a diet WITH NO LIFTING. you have a "PPWO" meal but no WO. i have no idea what you are trying to do with yourself but goodluck

[SwoleCat]

You've got WAAAAAAAAAY too much time between meal 1 (which is petty anyhow) and meal 2. Meal 3 is too early after meal 2.....

From there on out I don't know WTF you are doing w/salad and DEXTROSE as a pwo meal, you don't even have a WORKOUT, but like DCB said, good luck. Training abs only is ridiculous, but they should be trained as any other bodypart, not the crazy split you have there.

Low bodyfat makes abs show, not working them every 5 hours or whatever.

Signed up with Ballys earlier today and im ready to go . Hey Swole cat is there any kind of small meal or maybe a shake i can use in between M1 & 2? Im basically in school at those times so i can't get a hold of a full pro/fat meal. I also did get my hands on a box of dex from a buddy of mine. Appreciate all the comments from you and DCB.... i really didn't know WTF i was doing a couple of days ago but I believe i understand now. Umm if there is any other comments you wish to make about this Cut diet please do so as im trying hard to achieve my goal, once again thanks for the comments from all.

i dont know what your shcool schedule is like but in my classes we get a 10min break every 1.5 hours cause classes are 3-4 hours long. so while everyone goes to smoke or get a soda, i pull out pb, beefjerky, tuna/mayo- whatever i packed that day, out of my backpack. ppl might look at you weird when you are eating straight pb in class but by the end of the semester when you have abs and they are still lazy terds who will care cuz every girl in class will want your nuts!!

for abs, you dont need to have as much volume if you add weight. since you joined a gym you have access to machines and cable equipment. do some decline situps with dbs on your chest. do hanging knee raises with a 10lb db for like 3sets of 20. cable rope crunches. this will add more muscle to your abdomine and when your bf gets lower they will look more profound.
