    you might want to cut out the bread for cutting....have you tried Ezekiel bread? this is the best if you find you absolutely have to have bread....

    Thanks. I don't really have to have bread. But I figured some carbs were good.

    Bread is not a good choice for carbs for cutting.
    Instead how 'bout some oats? and of course veggies. And some sweet potatoes and brown or basmati rice would also be great choices for carbs.

    Cool. I was reading about the quick oat protein shake. I'm gonna add that to my breakfast. And I eat the long grain brown rice. Is that the same? Thanks Slimmer.

    Slimmer's right. the bread has too high of a glycemic index (too easily converted to sugar). the more complex the carb during a meal, the better off you are for controlling/reducing BF. When I'm lazy, i'll put a scoop of rolled oats in with my protein shake and down the hatch. not a great meal, but when you are short on time. here's some reading from wiki about the glycemic index, if you like...

    Thanks Roman. That's good info. I will read more from google on this. So it looks like veggies, rice, fruits and nuts are the good carbs.

    What does your total diet look like? With macro's?

    What are your stats?

    Fruits not neccessarily good or bad for cutting.

    Honestly, if you can't/won't work out macro's then you won't know how much you eating, how much you will need to lose bodyfat or to maintain.

    Unless you can individually list your meals with macro's for each meals then it will be impossible to help. And we like to help.

    Do you know whgat your bodyfat levels are? I can't comment on the amount of chicken you eat without knowing that. Weight? Age?

    I'd steer clear of juice... it's basically all the sugar and none of the fiber. Do you know how many oranges it takes to make a single 8oz glass of OJ? Probably more than you can eat.

    Point being - if you want fruit, eat fruit - but juice has no place in a cutting diet IMO.

    Are you seriosly eating only 1250cals per day?

    Losing fat and building muscle are, generally, 2 seperate entities. So, unless you are a beginner or coming back off a break it's highly unlikely you'll be able to do both.

    In all honesty until we know your bodyfat we are blind as to how to help. Post some pics if you can't get it checked and will estimate it for you.

    Even having said that it is obvious that your fats are way too low at 22g nd your protein intake will likely need to double. As for carbs, we'll deal with that number when we know your bodyfat and you decide whether or not to cut. But just add a bowl of oats for breakfast for now.
