Hi,
If I well understood, you want to cut. The first question is what's your stats (weight, height, %fat).
The basic prot/carb/fat proportion (in Europe) to maintain your body if you go at least 4 times/week to the Fitness are :
prot 2.2 - 2.5g/kg (I let you convert in lbs)
car 4-5g/kg
fat 0,8-1g/kg
Obviously, these are just averages and it depends of what kind of prot/carb/fat you eat. Keep just a word in mind "Altern" to give to your body all what it need to construct what it want. For example, chicken is one of the white meat but you have to also eat red meat, fish red/white,... Olive Oil is good but also walnut oil and colza oil. Difficult to explain it by writing.
The most important are the proportions between prot/carb/fat. Everything is important (e.g. carb for energy (,...), prot for regeneration and bulking (,...) and fat for hormones cycle (,...).
For my point of view,
1) the first thing to do is to calculate prot/carb/fat for every foods you eat.
2) Adapt everything to maintain your body mass, check the result on your body (everyone reacts in another way)
3) After you can "play" but keep approximatively the prot and fat averages which I show. So, play with the carb and the quality of your food (no extra or rarely in diet)
4) Eat a least every 3 hours, I think if you eat everything in 10 hours, is too short. You have to spread it, in this way, your body knows that you will receive food quickly. More it will know it more it will use this food for "your training".
A last thing, it depends also on your level... (monsters have higher proportions because they can assimilate more, mostly due to their products intaking).
I think it's a good base to start...
ps: personnaly, I maintain my diet in a xls file (must develop a app). And after a while, you're used to eating as in your xls. YOU KNOW THE PROPORTION.
If you have any remarks, don't hesitate... I'm not God, sometimes I'm wrongLast edited by Citrax; 11-18-2008 at 11:43 AM.

Comments are in bold
Here's an example of my cutting diet: I'm 6'3" 255 lbs @ 12% BF this is more for meal composition and some examples for good food choices than something that you should actually be following to the letter.
Upon waking:
Cardio (empty stomach except for a cup of coffee)
Meal 1: (about 10am)
4 egg whites (including 1whole egg)
1 cup oats
Fish/flax oil (2 capsules)
Meal 2: (about 1pm)
1 can of Albacore in water
Green veggies (steamed)
Sweet potato
Meal 3: (at work 5:30pm break)
1 cup cooked brown rice with 4 oz chicken breast and broccoli mixed in
Meal 4: (at work 8:15pm break)
Repeat meal 3, add flax/fish oil
Work out at 11:30pm (after work)
Meal 5: (12:30 -1:00am)
PWO Shake
Meal 6: (3:30am)
Repeat meal 2 except remove sweet potato. Add some sunflower seeds or almonds and FF cottage cheese before bed.
Obviously this diet changes some as I get bored or sick of certain foods but the nutritional aspect of it remains the same.
Here are some good choices for your intakes of carbs, protein and fat.
Carbs - Sweet potatoes, red potatoes, oats (No sugar added), brown rice, wild rice, barley, Steel cut oats, aktivated barley, Green leafy vegetables, Ezekiel or whole wheat bread (sparingly)
Protein - About 1 - 1.5 times your lean body weight per day in grams of protein.
Sources -
Steak, lean ground beef, chicken breast, tuna, salmon or other fish, egg whites or whole eggs, beef jerkey (if you don't mind the sodium) and whey protein (I have one shake after working out, try to stick with real food as much as you can).
Fats - Flax, Fish or olive oil, casein or dairy products, avacadoes, nuts, egg yolks.
Hope this helps, and don't hesitate posting any questions
Best of luck

Here is the link to the company's store finder.
http://www.foodforlife.com/info-cent...ore-finder.cfm
But just so you know the store I get it from is a mom and pop's nutrition store and they are listed on their site. So if this link does not help you I would check around at your smaller places.

Your approximate daily caloric maintenance level is: 2841calories (kcal)
Your daily caloric goal in order to lose weight should be between: 1841 to 2341 calories (kcal)
Your daily caloric goal in order to gain weight should be between: 3091 to3341calories (kcal)
how many calories do you eat a day with that diet you made? you should really break it down for us. which means list total proteins, calories, carbs and fats.

Imo, you aren't going to be eating enough here, so your body is likely in or will soon be in starvation mode and you will not see much if any in the way of weightloss when this occurs... If you insist on keep ing carbs moderately high, then keep your daily calories within 200 of your maintenance calories and use cardio to burn off the fat...
