    Cutting Diet need some help

    I was wondering if everyone can critique this for me. I am basing this off of Rambo's sample. I have a few questions on it too.

    Current Stats:
    5'8"
    208lbs
    20%BF
    32 yrs old.

    I would like to get to 15% or lower sometime. I work out Mon-Fri take weekends off. I do cardio 3-4 times and will concentrate on keeping it 65-70% of heart rate for 30-45 minutes.

    Here is the diet and workout routine. I have to work out and do cardio in the a.m. before work. I work roughly 10 hours and then come home to family for few hours before bed. So early morning workouts is all I can do.

    0445-0630 Weight training and cardio at the end.

    0630- PWO - P/F - Protein shake(2 scoops whey)/ 2 tbsp flaxoil.

    Inbetween these two meals -1/16oz cup of coffee with 2 splenda packs.

    0930 - P/C - Lean protein (3 whole eggs, 1/2 cup oatmeal).

    1230- Veggies (brocoli), 6oz boneless chicken breasts.

    1500- Shake (2sccops whey), anything else??????

    1800 - Veggies (brocoli/cauli,carrot mix), 6oz boneless chicken, 1/2 cup of brown rice with soy sauce.

    2030 - Protein shake casein blend, with flaxseed oil 2 tbsp.

    Only questions I have are the on the sample diet on the sticky it showed a plan for an afternoon workout, so I am assuming that in the a.m. I would replace meal 2 with meal 1 since I want to do the P/F after my cardio.??

    Other question would, is it ok to follow same diet on the two off days (sat,sun)?? If not how do I change it?

    Not going for competition, just a good healthy look and loose some b/f.

    This is a great forum..I appreciate any feedback and I don't get my feelings hurt easy so lay it in.

    Any feedback. I would appreciate it. I am new to dieting so I don't know if I am doing what's right. My diet before was pretty horrible. I actually feel like I am eating more on this than I did before. I have always been able to pack on muscle, but usually get a little chub with it too. Hopefully this will clean it up... thx in advance.

    Not enough food. After morning cardio, a PWO shake is not necessary. I..and a lot of guys here prefer a good solid pro/carb meal. I'll usually have one 20 minutes or so after morning cardio. An example is 12 eggwhites and 1 cup of oats. 3 whole eggs is hardly a meal. Your protein looks at 180-190 grams at MOST. A little low IMO. Find your BMR in the sticky in this thread (Its either in the bulking or the cutting sticky) and try to aim for 500 calories under that. I also like to do cardio every day in the morning except leg day. Don't go overboard in restricting carbohydrates, you'll quickly notice muscle slipping away. Take a look at some of the member's diets in other threads around here, you'll get an idea of what you should model your diet after (according to LBM).

    Chest, thanks... With the 3 shakes alone the protein intake was at 120. I thought I was getting enough. I will bump up the eggs and watch my carb intatke. I appreciate the feedback. I am not a rookie at pushing weights, but I am now just learning how to try and take it to the next level with dieting.
