MY Cutting

**edgarr** · 08-24-2006, 09:26 AM

Ok I want to cut. I am 36 5'8 180ish and 15.5%ish BF. I want to get down to 10%. I don't care how long it takes or how much size and strenght I lose, that is my goal. Along with my diet I am taking daily 12g of Vit-c 2 with each meal, 2 multi Vit, 2 calcium, 2 celdrin w/msm, 400mg potassium and taruine. I am cycling clen 2 weeks on and 2 off. I am working out 5 days a week, one body part per week (always did it this way) and doing cardio 4-5 days a week first thing in the am for 45 mins and 4 days a week after workouy for 20-25 mins. Do you guys think that I should drop my calories even more or tweak anything else? Thanks.

Add more egg whites to the diet and cut out the whey.

How did you come out with 65g protein for 1 can tuna?

I would add in something like chicken and oats or tuna and oats...make this a whole meal.

7-8 WorkOut

45gm whey protein
80g dextrose

Too much dex IMO. I think 1 cup oats(54g carbs) is fine PWO.

You need to have a PPWO that you consume 45min-1hour after your PWO; i.e. chicken/oats, tuna/sweet potato etc.

My opinion under the bolded. I would not even think about dropping cals. Don't be afraid to add carbs if your not feeling energentic etc. Also, I hope you eat your green veggies and lots of them. Your vitamins can't take the place of vegetable.

That is the big can of tuna which is 5 servings. I hate all veggies, the only one I really like is asppragus so I drink a V-8 once in a while. My preworkout lately has been more whole foods like turkey, tuna or steak but if I am in a hurry the shake is faster. would that PPWO be too close to bed time?

No, don't worry about carbs at night if its for your workout. I have my PPWO at around 8-8:30 pm.

yes its a clean diet but needs major work to much fat IMO, and to low on the carbs IMO.

i whould change the whole thing, first off you have to much fat in the diet IMO, you really dont need that much, secondly your carbs are a bit to low, check out 1BMFK's thread on diets you will see some good diets posted in there.

**ricogl40** · 08-24-2006, 09:55 PM

diet definitely needs a little work, but what about working one body part per week?? maybe i dont know but that seems a little weird. and IMO i dont think its good to do cardio after workout, for a number of reasons. not trying to jack the thread, just trying to help u, bro

**ricogl40** · 08-24-2006, 09:56 PM

definitely don't drop kcals anymore. if anything add some more carbs watch the fat tho

Look off these for references. What are your maintenance cals? carbs seem pretty high.

5 egg whites
40gm oatmeal
15gm whey protein
Cal 278 Protein 35 Carbs 36 Fat 3 Add 3-4 more egg whites.

9:00
1 can tuna
5ml of Flaxseed oil
Cal 343 Protein 65 Carbs 0 Fat 7.2 Buy smaller cans of tuna. A bit too heavy on the protein here. Shoot for 45-50g protein.

12:00
8oz chicken breast
15gm whey protein
1/4 cup brown rice
Cal 420 Protein 61 Carbs 35 Fat 4 Drop the whey. Also, I'm assuming the chicken is measured raw, as 3oz cooked is 27g protein.

3:00
1 can tuna
5ml of Flaxseed oil
Cal 343 Protein 65 Carbs 0 Fat 7.2 Again, too heavy on the protein for one meal. Shoot for 45-50g.

6:00 Pre-Work out
8oz chicken, turkey or tuna
1 Sweet potato
Cal 338 Protein 48 Carbs 30 Fat 3 Weigh your sweet potato. Every 3oz cooked is about 20g carbs. The average sized sp weighs 6-9oz. Again, I'm assuming the chicken is measured raw, as 3oz cooked is 27g protein.

6:45-7:45 WorkOut

8:00
45gm whey protein
80g dextrose
Cal 450 Protein 35 Carbs 83 Fat 0 Drop the dextrose completely. Replace with 1 cup oats or another low GI carb source shooting for 50-60g carbs. Also, bump protein to 45-50g.

9:30
170gm of cottage cheese
1/4 cup brown rice
Cal 273 Protein 22.5 Carbs 38 Fat 2.5 Drop the rice, add some nuts. Natty pb or almonds. Look for 10-12g fat.

Total
Cal 2718 Protein 354 Carbs 260 Fat 29.4

So if I cook a 8oz raw chicken breast how much cooked chicken do I have? Is there a web site that list this kind of info? Time to buy a scale!

**1buffsob** · 08-25-2006, 02:50 PM

Calorieking.com It's always better to measure your food before cooking it, to get the most accurate reading. But that can become a real pain in the ass. Calorieking.com has options for raw/cooked/broiled/etc. that will tell you the macros.
