Ok guys a lil help

[Burden]

Well im now starting to cut because i got to a size i want. I have a bit of Bf that covers my abs and i want to lower my bodyfat. I know the basics to cutting
Lifting heavy, cardio,and diet. I need a little help on dieting though. What should i do to change my diet.. currently im eating as in a bulking diet.I need a little direction on what to be eating at what amounts. how much calories should i be taking in while cutting ? Current stats 5'10 180lbs ( looking to cut about 10lbs of BF ) Current meal plan example :
meal 1
2 Eggs
Sausage

Meal 2
Probably a Tv dinner if im in a rush or can of tuna with vegtables .along with protein shake

meal 3
yogurt or Peanutbutter ( couple teaspoons )
( Pre Workout )

Consume Protein shake

meal 4 after workout
Steak or roast or something along them lines with 2 potatoes and possibly some veggies

meal 5
if im hungry i'll grab a pb sandwhich
along with another protein shake

What would i need to do to convert to a good clean diet which promotes fat loss and keeps muscle ?? thanks!

[will_work]

only 2 Eggs? how about 2 hole eggs with 4 egg whites

Tv dinner is no good at all imo
how much cardio are you doing?

[Burden]

yeah i will convert to eat more egg whites Yes maybe i'll replace the Tv dinner with a protein shake and a salad or something . I am a cardio fanatic always have been into the fighting game, i do cardio about 5 days a week and do workouts such as hill sprints,heavy bag work,conditioning workouts, jogging , etc.. My main era of trouble is my diet though.

Dude, that diet is a complete disaster. You should really do some of your own homework first and then ask for some help cleaning it up. Other than meal #4 everything you are eating needs to be fixed. Looks like you eat quite a bit on the run. Biggest suggestion is to cook all your food the night before so you dont end up living on protein shakes and tv dinners.

[Burden]

haha well in that case could you possibly re place some of the meal examples to give me an idea of what to be eating? Like i read alot about cutting but i never tend to understand the diet part , It's frustrating..

Breakfast- 4 egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 1/2 cup of oats......A basic afternoon meal might look like 7oz sweet potato, 5oz(cooked) boneless, skinless chicken breast, 3.5oz broc. Like Fireguy said, you'r really not even close with the diet you posted, check out the cutting sticky at the top of the diet section for some basic guidlines for cutting. If your doing appropriate cardio for cutting (5/6 times a week) and your intensity is up in your workouts, your calorie intake could probably be up around 2700. But thats just a guess, without a current BF% and a current workout schedule, Im really just taking a guess.

[Burden]

yea man thanks. I hope to not count calories unless its a must, i was hoping to eat clean and just monitor my diet in order to cut, do you think it's nessecary to count callys

[Burden]

Bump for suggestion / advice ?

[FortKnox36]

Find a donkey and smell his ass. The enzymes floating around the donkeys A hole will speed up your metabolism thus increasing the rate at which fat burns off your body. Or you could read all the stickys.

Hope this helps,
