Need some diet help...macros posts

[Sigmaguy2]

Ok, A little background. 26 years old, 6'0, 175lbs. I have been working out seriously for the last 4 years. By seriously I mean dieting, training, and taking proper supplementation. It seems like I have tried everything and I think I eat very clean but just cannot seem to get rid of the smooth look. I cannot get vascular or very defined. My strength goes up very easily but I cannot get my 6 pack to pop. I have detailed my diet below and vitamins...please give me any advice you can think of and maybe my insulin spikes are causing the problem...but all advice would be welcomed because I have tried everything and cannot get the lean body I am looking for.


Meal 1
1/2 cup quick oats---150 cal, 5g protein, 27g carbs
16oz pure egg whites---250 cal, 50g protein, 0 carbs----750mg sodium(dangerous)?

Meal 2
MRP Shake---160 cal, 15g protein, 6g carbs

Meal 3
tuna--90 cal, 20g protein, 1g carb
snow peas--35 cal, 2g protein, 6g carbs
------sometimes substitute almonds----160cal, 5g protein, 9g carb

Meal 4
pure protein bar--190 cal, 20g protein, 17g carb

Meal 5 (Preworkout)
tuna/rice---90cal, 20g protein, 10g carb

Workout

Meal 6
chicken breast--250 cal, 55g protein, 0g carb
raw spinach--10 cal, 1 g protein, 1.5g carbs
protein shake w/water---120 cal, 24g protein, 3g carbs


roughly 1700-2100cal, 192g-225g protein, 72-85g carbs

Ok so I am thinking about replacing that MRP with my own consisting of whey isolate protein, 2 tbsp natty pb, ice, water.

Do I need a new preworkout meal

I take my flax with the first tuna meal--is that about right?

currently using NO Shotgun, and 4 caps myogenx per day

Go ahead and critique please.....I am looking to stay around 185 but get leaner with more of a mens fitness build....i.e, better abs, more chiseled.

A lot of information but some general tips would really help because I have tried for years to get more cut and cannot do it

train 6 days per week, and do cardio 3 days...2 are early morning on empty stomach

Could it be a water retention issue?

Your macros are a little on the lower end as far as cals and protein are concerned. The diet needs work, try to be consistent when allocating your required daily macros per meal and dump all the protein supplements, get real food in there. The cutting sticky may help you
