    Healthy Diet for ME? MACROS ADDED

    Age:25
    Height:5'11
    Weight:195
    BF%:19% by army standers

    1,720 cals/86 carbs/38 fat/258 protein

    20/20/60%

    Im just trying to find out if this is good for me. I was going to keep it under 2300cals but i went one week and i never reached 1900 cals so i figured i could drop it. Now remember right now im just trying to get to 12% BF or lower.

    NO one? Im sure alot of you want to see what im eating and my macros but i have that down all ready in a thread awhile back. I have tweaked it since then to meet these goals though. So anyone out there does this seem okay to you?

    If you've tweaked your diet recently, post it up with all macros and times of day you have your meals for a better critique. From this thread, your basically just asking if the split sounds good. A calorie split, in my opinion, is individualistic. Some people are carb sensitive; others handle them relatively easy. I'm willing to bet that most members here are not going to like your split. Most will recommend to lower protein, and increase carbs and fat. I will have you know that throughout my 3 1/2 month cut, I tweaked my diet a couple times and found that a 60/20/20 worked the best for me with almost no loss of LBM. By the looks of your cals, I would keep them around 2,300 at first and see how you progress. If you're not happy with the results, slowly decrease calories/increase cardio until you find that sweet spot.

    But like I said, it's best to post up your total diet in detail if you really want the best advice.

    Make this meal primarily a carb or fat meal, not both. This is too high in both macros IMO.

    Lunch
    Deer Meat - Ground Hamburger, 3 oz................................................ ..................159 0 7 23
    Minute Rice - Brown Rice, Instant Whole Grain , 1/2 cup........................................150 34 2 3

    Decent, add veggies if you can

    Why the casein here? Just eat more food

    Snacks
    Gnc Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 - Vanilla - Shake , 3 Cups.................................280 7 1 60
    Bunny-Luv - Organic Cut & Peeled Baby Carrots, 3 oz.............................................33 9 0 0

    Carrots are relatively high in sugar, just be careful with them. Greens would be a better option

    It doesn't help that I can't see what times you're eating these meals though. I'm too lazy to keep scrolling up to see your times from the previous post - next time, just post it with time of day for each meal - i.e. Meal 1, 7am, Meal 2, 10am, and so on.

    I actually made breakfast the carb meal as of this morning. After reading some threads that were on here i saw you need to split fat and carbs. So i eat my fats at 1000. I have the casein right before bed not actually with the dinner sorry. I would add more protein meat in dinner but to tell you the truth im getting fuller faster since i started this diet. I seen that carrots are kinda high in surgar but i had them in the fridge so i figured i would finish them off. I will be switching between celery and broccoli. Sorry for not putting the times on this one i did mess that up, here they are.

    Breakfast 0730
    snack 1000
    lunch 1230
    snack and protien shake 1530
    workout 1600 to 1800
    dinner 1830 at the latest
