    Im not sure why your 1st meal is so late in the morning. Try to get it in ASAP. Also, you need to put the majority of your carbs in your 1st, PWO, and PPWO meals. When cutting, NEVER replace a meal with a shake! That includes PWO. Most importanly, you will lose muscle with only 2100 calories ed. You need at least 2500 to avoid lossing lbm. Your caloric calculator is busted, throw it away. Lastly, up your fats. For me, I like to have a ratio of 50%/15%/35% (pro/carbs/fat). Good luck, keep working.

    Btw, you may find yourself overtraining as well going in 5 days per week. Too much for when your calories are so low...

    First off thanks for the help. I can probely get my first meal in before i just usually take a shower first. The reason for the shake and flax after my cardio would be that i though it would help with burning fat. So pwo i shouldnt have a shake with dextrose? i should replace that with a pro/carb meal?
